Qualification in beautiful Sochi

      Qualification started nine days ago it was a Russian Grand Prix, home Grand Prix for Daniil Kvyat in beautiful city Sochi where there were lots of fans supporting young Red Bull driver, also where and this is great on the one side there is a sea and on the other side mountains, so people who lives there have a choice where they want to spend free time :D:D, whatever lets go into the ssessions.


Q1

      Drivers had eighteen minutes to make time good enough to “promote” to the next stage in such a modern circuit which is for the third season in Formula One. Pascal Wehrlein was the first one who appeared on the circuit and his time was good 1:40.162. however after about one second Felipe Nasr was faster than him 0:00.613. :D. After some moments other drivers appeared on the circuit and the results completely changed.  Most drivers were on super soft tyres, and because of the weather which was not so good, sky was covered by dark clouds and it was possibility of rain temperature was going down. Hamilton had very good time 1:36.518, and for couple minutes he was on the lead, but then Rosberg improve his time about 0:00.399., and ones again, later Lewis had a better time 1:36.006:D. When Lewis went into the pit Sebastian Vettel was driving like crazy, he took corners wide to get a better time and he was fourth.  Three minutes before finished  Felipe Nasr went out of the circuit, however nothing happened….despite his elimination, Felipe’s fate shared Marcus Ericsson, Rio Haryanto, Pascal Wehrlein, Jalyon Palmer and Kevin Magnussen…

Q2

      Second session and fifteen  minutes to make a  good time, first driver with a time was Carlos Sainz, he did It I mean made one lap in 1:37.652, but Sergio Perez was faster than him. Mexican driver stayed for a long time on the lead until Nico Rosberg had better time 1:35.337. Romain Grosjean had a small issue with his car, he could not drive smoothly, as a result he could not make good time and he was eliminated. Seconds before session was finished and that was unexpected Daniel Ricciardo was driving when right mirror from his car came off, and Daniel could not focus on drive, fortunately he made time which let him promote to the next session. Eliminated drivers were: Esteban Gutierrez, Fernando Alonso, Nico Hulkenberg, Jenson Button and Carlos Sainz.

Q3

      Final session, where it was a lot guessing who is going to take pole position…???:):), but before everyone found out that Lewis has a gearbox issue and he could not drive in Q3, so he would start in Sunday from ten place. Daniel Ricciardo after stressful previous session he was ready to make a great time..:):), and he finished on six place. First was without surprises Nico Rosber, second Sebastian Vettel, but he had a grid penalty for changing gearbox, and that changed postions on lead, Valtteri Bottas was second and third Kimi Raikkonen.

Thank you for reading…and forgive me late post….bye:):)
