Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 liveRenault are going to start 11th and 12th on the tyres of their choice and everyone else will be thinking we didn't need to go out on the hypersofts.

Stephen Taylor: Red Bull made a total farce of Q1. Why look to get through when you will start at the back anyway?
Jarryd Mann: Stroll is simply rubbish. How this guy has a seat in F1 is simply staggering. Glad his old fella has a tonne of cash.

Q2 - What's happened to Ferrari?
Smelling salts. Popular for waking up unconscious people, but for those who don't know, smelling salts are a common occurrence in weight lifting and boxing.
Before a lift, have a sniff of this and it's supposed to open up your airways and give you the extra boost you need to finish the job - it nearly always works.
It smells like dead things, and it's completely legal.

Sirotkin in the barriers. No crash, but it doesn't look great for his lap times.
