Better he does it in practice than the race.
Could be they switched it off for practice so as not to stress the engine. This would explain the difference in performance from FP1, 2 and 3 and Q2 and 3.

Seb needs a stable car that's predictable and he is then super quick, same as at Red Bull. This paddle may just be giving him that stability. Let's see if the FIA take any action after they've had a closer look, might just be that Ferrari have found a loophole in the regs, a la Brawn. Still with Todt in charge and the former Ferrari tech director in scrutineering........
Race should be chaos as usual, expect Verstappen in the wall at some point.

Did anyone see Bernie Ecclestone on Sky F1? He looks like a cross between a Jazz Club performer and a just prior to regeneration Time Lord.

So AverageBot makes a mistake in Australia during qualifying and you nail him. Kimi fucks up here and he's still one of the 'top guys'. If he ever wins a race for the Prancing Horse, I think a national holiday should be called for. Max and Kimi on the same row should be fun tomorrow.
2014, 6 podiums, 17 points finishes and 186 points vs 3 podiums, 11 points finishes and 134 points.
2015, 2 podiums, 13 points finishes and 136 points vs 2 podiums, 13 points finishes and 121 points
2016, 1 podium, 15 points finishes and 85 points vs 13 points finishes and 53 points.
Raikkonen vs Massa:
2007: WDC, 6 wins, 11 podiums, 15 points finishes, 110 points vs 3 wins, 10 podiums, 14 points finishes, 94 points
2008: 2 wins, 9 podiums, 12 points finishes, 75 points vs 6* wins, 10 podiums, 13** points finishes and 97 points
* -Includes Belgium which is a truly disgusting moment in motorsport.
** - Includes Fuji where Ferrari International Assistance triggered the new stewarding rules for subsequent seasons and T1L1 rules being amended.
There isn't much between Kimi and Massa. Bottas is a step above Massa.
I think with the top three teams are so close that they need drivers who can hustle a car around the track to make an extra 3/10ths that the car hasn't got. Hamilton can do it (he did it yesterday) as can Vettel, Alonso and Vestappen. Kimi was doing the right thing and was on for pole, but screwed it up. Bottas was nowhere. It's the difference between a good driver and a great driver.
Bottas is a great wing man but he's been shown wanting and whilst Woolf wouldn't openly criticise him there's a general view that if Hamilton had been behind Vettel at the last race he'd have got past. Bottas was too timid and tentative chasing a car with seriously worn tyres.
There are rumours that Ricciardo is likely to go to Mercedes next year - when asked he just smiled.
The race should be interesting tomorrow with at least one safety car so Mercedes better have their strategy right for once or the Bulls and Ferrari will pounce.
