MAX in Q2 : 1:04.5 (!) WOW !!!

[GuidoK]

Interesting that Max sets his banker lap in q2 almost half a second faster than the rest of the field.
It's only a banker lap, but still....

Q1 top 15 under .4 Amazing

PER is just plain BAD

Charlie lost it and ran straight through the gravel trap in Q3 . Too bad my friend . Too bad ...

[GuidoK]

Max on pole!
And both McLarens are so close, that'll be interesting tomorrow.

....And by the looks of it they sent out Hammy again on too cold tyres
the only possibility because he didn't outqualify RUS

I could not have envisaged it any other way.

That will be like in the sprint race : MAX vs the McLaren 'DRS

McLaren got another new (flexible)! front wing upgrade

Mercedes got an new beam wing upgrade ..

Red Bull fixed the sim data issues . Think that's why they found the RB20 sweet spot setup from the beginning of the free practice .
Finally !

Checo on the other hand : Oh...man !

Yeah. It looks like . Think MAX won Spielberg 4 times .

MAX said : I was 'one with the car . This means the RB20 setup issues are fixed my friend .
So....That's bad news for the other drivers

I agree Per isnt performing very well, but we simply don't know what we don't know. You might put Sai or many other drivers in his seat and car and watch them struggle the same way. If it were me, I'd put Tsu in the car. He was able to outdrive the AT and now the Vcarb well. Plus he's like 20-40 lbs lighter than just about everyone else on the grid which is worth some time too due to weight reduction.

Nothing about it on F1 but Hulk got a ridiculous 10sec penalty for overtaking ALO.

Yeah I agree . And Yuki would be cheaper than Sainz

Checo must walk (!) with once again P8 in Q3..

Marko says it's all bureaucracy and expects them to drop it.

List of drivers I'd take over PER in no particular order:
LEC, SAI, RUS, HAM, NOR, PIA, ALO

Driver's I'd give a shot as there is nothing to loose:
GAS, Albon, Yuki, Lawson, Bearman, Kimi (The young one)

That's a LONG list
