Any differences between the new beam wing and the older one? Also FP1 is under rain. No idea where do we stand. Hopefully they will be ready for qualifying.

Just the trim flap on the back for more rear downforce in the rain.

Think our lack of traction really shows in these conditions (albeit from only 30 mins of running so don’t want to draw a firm conclusion)

I think for Lando it must be the final run. Daniel has one more lap unless they decide to end it here. Not sure where Mclaren stands. Hopefully it dries when Qualifying happens 2 hours later.

It's gonna be a problem if the rain remains for qualifying. We don't seem to have the nessesary traction for a wet qualifying.

Well… Q1 runs were solid… Nicely done from the team, but the midfield is extremely close and the track is ramping up really quick… Surprising though that they are clearly ahead of Mercedes in that session… Let’s see if the team can maintain that momentum into Q2

Norris keeping the papaya car near the front. Sainz is now out so there is a real chance to get a second row start.

I’m looking forward to analyzing the sector times, the car is performing better than expected it seems… The challenge is that raining again and the car is performing better on the Softs than on inters or wets… The team may have set the car up for dry weather thinking about the race

Norris needs to be calm and careful during the Q3. P5-6 is better than damage the car

A lot of risk / reward management needed… It’s also an opportunity to start high up the grid on a race where overtaking isn’t the easiest

It might... just might.... get dry enough for the red wall.

Pretty feisty even on inters.

I don’t think they are putting Softs… If anything, it seems to be raining a bit more… It might be P3 for McLaren! Wow

Wasn't Lando quite ahead of Lec after S2? He must have lost a bunch in last sector.

You're right it appears more rain will come.

Hopefully..

Norris caused a red flag. What a shame.
