Still a lot of time in that lap, Lando was -0.275 in sector 1 on his aborted run. That would put him +0.169 of the fastest time in fp2.

Oscar is mostly struggling in the last sector, hopefully he can tune the setup overnight.
No, there are the best sectors above for 2 practice, according to these data, the loss is 0.411
he never completed the sector... this was up to turn 4

Let’s wait a bit for Oscar, he is probably just building up speed… First rule in Monaco, do not crash in practice, specially when you need the track time

“I think you’ve got to get yourself into a rhythm, which I don’t think I’ve really got myself into yet. From FP1, I improved on the areas I needed to, now it’s just catching up a bit in the rest of the places. So, I’m confident we can make a good step tomorrow.”

Could be major.
Landos running was curtailed by a PU issue at the end of FP2…..

Maybe dropping a new engine in so the other can be inspected or repaired.

No new engine required, was just a reassembly. Fingers crossed they aren't gambling with it.

Yes.

First half in Canada, second in Silverstone. Both upgrades bigger than Baku. Baku was worth 2-3 tenths of a second.

All from Stella 2 weeks back.

Any specific details on the upgrades, how it's split, which would be bigger between the 2?
