Yup.

Lap time predictions were around 1:35 and they are already four seconds faster than that.

I must confess that earlier in the day I read an article on F1.com that started talking of 1:28s being the talk, so I chopped 4 seconds off my initial guess, to make it a high 30, not game to go for the 28s I had read about. Now it seems that with a 1:31.098 after P1 it is likely even the 28 estimate was a tad slow for pole. The accuracy of everyone is going to take a hit today with no one having guessed lower than a 1:30.
