A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.
The car maybe feels like it has the grip available to push, and then it gives up the grip if there is a shift in the load on the axles. Seems like this car has a narrow window, and it could be stemming from the stiff suspension.
Lewis did at times look like he could threaten for pole, but may this kind driving isn't sustainable. The car has a long way to go yet.
Good comment. Lewis backed out of several runs and it looked like there was a very narrow window. Both of the crashes seem to confirm that. Looks like running on a knife edge.
A few posts that amounted to lap times or likely finishing positions, or speeds in a concrete event which affected track position, have been removed. I probably don't need to remind of the car thread posting guidance.

That suggests a suspension issue (possibly due to a lack of travel?).
The floor is stalling mid-corner, according to Peter Windsor (and only on low/qualy setup I dare to add), due to a raised car at the back and that could be either in order to prevent bottoming or maybe, most probably, in a prospect of a wet race tomorrow:
