Sebastian Vettel will be disappointed with P3 today, seven tenths away from Lewis Hamilton's pole time and seemingly with a very difficult challenge ahead of him tomorrow.
But he isn't getting downbeat just yet. If you cast your minds back just one year you may remember that there was a similar gap between the two last year and Vettel still managed to get the win.
So it's not over yet and Vettel will be desperate for a repeat of last year and to get the first win in his search to end Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes' dominance.
The German told Sky Sports after qualifying: "Of course I think we can, you never know what's happening. The race is over when there's a chequered flag we have a good car and a good strategy we are here to race so we'll see what happens tomorrow."
