That was a serious lap. And RAI and BOT were within 0.1 second of his time! These guys are so precise while carrying crazy speeds and G-forces. It is hard to believe how they control the cars.

Tomorrow's race start is gonna be a good one!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crazy how quick he is back to throttle in the turns. Glad to see Ferrari on top again.

Maybe it's my imagination but the Ferraris actually sound pretty good this year to boot.

I'd take Schumacher in his prime over Vettel in his prime every day of the week and twice on Sunday!

Well I guess it depends how old you are. I'll pick Fangio.

Amongst Hamilton, Kimi, Alonso and others
2000s
Agree about Schumacher - watched him then. No comparison
