You beat me to it!
I wanted to vote for leclerc. But we all know Ferrari wont allow that.
So, Ferrari engages reverse in Melbourne, then engages hyperdrive in Bahrain - how the hell can there be THAT big a difference?! . Anyway, I'm happy, particularly for Leclerc as its about time someone gave Vettel some proper competition.
It could be a whole different story after T1 though...

Dancing horse clearly with the upper-hand this time, but still a merited performance from Leclerk.
Well done.

Surprising to see McLaren is the best Renault engine team in qualifying. Maybe too much of the Renault’s team budget went into driver salaries? I had better hopes for Daniel and Nico. At least Daniel will start from P10 because Grosjean got a 3 grid place penalty for impeding Norris during qualifying.

Neither track is F1 material, so actually Bahrain is a far better F1 track.
I favor the british tracks too, but they'd be the terrible choice here.
huh? Missed that during quali. Vettel maybe also a grid penalty for holding up other driver.
EDIT: And a couple of minutes later it became clear that Vettel will not get a penalty:

Right.Surprising to see McLaren is the best Renault engine team in qualifying. Maybe too much of the Renault’s team budget went into driver salaries?
Perhaps too many Lotus guys in renault's team.
Tafin has made his job, we are still waiting a good chassis (Enstone) and a reliable MGU-K (Nissan/Infinity).
Budowsky should help for the chassis but it is still not there.
Kivyat for Gasly's seat before Silverstone.
This is officially the worst F1 track of the lot (and there are a few stinkers); on board lap shows how crud it actually is.

Congrats to Leclerc, a well deserved pole for sure. Ferrari is looking strong
here, like last year. But Mercedes seems not very far away. Could be an exciting
and tight race tomorrow. Red Bull on the other hand IS far away, on a similar
level to Haas and McLaren it seems, at least in qualifying. Race speed still
should be better but without a realistic chance of a podium finish i assume.
And why all this talk about a second British Grand Prix here, besides that i
would love a race in Brands Hatch too. The (F1) world doesn't just revolve
around Great Britain, a second race there seems a bit far-fetched in my eyes.
