because he wasnt improving - thats what I read on the teamstream "lap didnt come together" according to DanielDarth-Piekus wrote: ↑30 Jul 2022, 17:04Why didn't Daniel complete his last lap? He is again a long way off Norris.
Good job from Lando Norris again. That is the fastest the car can go compared to the first 3.
Remember though, the 2 RBR cars are missing. Still to be congratulated, good jobBen1980 wrote: ↑30 Jul 2022, 17:594th is above expectations even with the good practice sessions.
Disapointing that Daniel starts behind the Alpines. I'm sure he will be defended but 9th against 4th really isn't good enough especially in such a tight battle for 4th. Like the 5th vs 11th last weekend.
Agreed- Lando's lap must have been good to be clear of the Alpines by 2 tenths. It's unfortunate it's not worth any grid positions as usually 2 tenths would cover several cars!Ben1980 wrote: ↑30 Jul 2022, 17:594th is above expectations even with the good practice sessions.

Well… I’ve kept saying that there is more to it than just sidepod design… And there are plenty of examples out there in that regardXero wrote: ↑30 Jul 2022, 21:08Pretty interesting quotes from Lando post-qualifying. When posed the question that if the car's weakness is drag related, he completely shut it down and dismissed it. He actually sounded a bit perplexed by the suggestion. Maybe we've got it wrong about McLaren suffering from higher drag. Lando suggested it was entirely down to car setup, and the restrictions that the recent upgrades have allowed them to get around. I guess we'll find out in 4 weeks time, but let's just enjoy tomorrow before going into the break in the meantime.
The cars are so sensitive though. It's impossible to pinpoint exact weaknesses without knowing much what's going.Xero wrote: ↑30 Jul 2022, 21:08Pretty interesting quotes from Lando post-qualifying.

Maybe he made a mistake and aborted the lap, like Lando did at the end of Q2.Darth-Piekus wrote: ↑30 Jul 2022, 17:04Why didn't Daniel complete his last lap? He is again a long way off Norris.

Lando aborted q2 because he was told to, to save the tyres for first run q3djos wrote: ↑31 Jul 2022, 03:34Maybe he made a mistake and aborted the lap, like Lando did at the end of Q2.Darth-Piekus wrote: ↑30 Jul 2022, 17:04Why didn't Daniel complete his last lap? He is again a long way off Norris.

Edit: yeah he was losing the rear on his last lap
