With his first place was the Brit are the result of the previous year. A comparison in terms of time with last year is not in, in 2014 was the qualification nat, and 1:44.231 the best time. The 1.26.327 that Hamilton dropped is, however, encouraging: the fastest race lap last year was 1:32.478, we think this this year or what sharper can be made, and the V6 ” jes so, to speed have won.

Mercedes reigns

Nico Rosberg follows at a respectable distance, with a 1:26.921, and after a time nothing follows Felipe Massa. The Williams rider was best of the rest, but with a time of 01:27.718 it’s clear that Mercedes in 2015 still have the sheets out.

Max Verstappen scored an excellent twelfth time, with 01:28.868 he was not so very off-pace. The schlemielen of the day were to be found at McLaren: Button and Magnussen had a disastrous start, and qualified stiff in the rear. Alonso will be from the sidelines with dismay as.

Felipe Nasr was a positive luminary: the Sauber driver just lacked Q3, but continued to be a very good 11th time.
