Well, congrats @Star for taking this one!

edit: hold on, didn't realise it was a .230 guess...

edit2: I think I actually won. This was surprising.

Im lost on the logic....
1:23.230 Star
1:23.456 Mawerick

pole was 1:22.868
even Bottas who inherited the #1 was in the 22's.

Thanks @Mawerick. :)

I'm sorry but I can't see how your time was closer than mine when pole was either 1:22.868 or 1:22.998 depending on whether you take Hamilton's time or the one Bottas will start on pole with. I'm just glad it didn't rain ;)

We take Hamilton's time even though he has an engine penalty. It has been this way for as long as I have been playing. The only time we do not take the fastest time is if the driver is DSQ from the session or has the time taken away for something else (like track limits, etc.).
The last time I can remember deleting a time was Button at BAR/Honda when he was found underweight (can't remember the year off the top of my head).

And I thought it would be a bit more of a wet dry session, so good job to those that put in straight dry times.

My mistake. I thought @Star guess was 1:22.230, not 1:23.

This weeks winner is indeed @Star with a time 0.362 seconds away from Lewis Hamilton's pole time of 1:22.868! Great job getting the fastest time, and your third win this year, Star!

I really thought we would have a shorter period between the rain and Q3 making the track more slippery. I also wonder what the lap time would be if it was a fully dry weekend with multiple sessions of rubber on the track? 21's? 20's? hmmm...

Anyway, the full results:

Congrats all, I'm moving up the table ;) Not bad since I didn't start until part way through the season.
