Merc looks like that whatever set up direction they took, it's just not able to develop into the lap they need

Watching fp3 the car looked horrible through esses. They can't get traction down out of 1 neither

The Medium tyres will give the indication about the Mercs setup. Cheko getting Mexico vibes ! That's interesting.

I wonder if it could be faster on Mediums compared to Softs if it is easier to keep them alive the full lap

Sky reporting RBR have rear wing cracks. Emergency glue gun mods ongoing…
"One of the mechanics has found a hairline crack, so we are not taking any risks and are replacing the part," Horner told Sky Sports.
"It probably wouldn't have been a problem, but you can see the cars are having a hard time here. The mechanic had seen it right."

How has Mercedes thrown away another Pole?
Because the Redbull is the better car this season, simple as that

Congratulations Max, very very good lap. As a Merc/Lewis fan, I hope that the P2 turn 1 start favours Lewis as he will be able to dictate the corner of he is anywhere alongside.

Glad the rain held off. Turn 1 going to be a catastrophe tomorrow.
