Shame that a late snap cost Oscar. I love that P5 and P7 feels disappointing

Slightly disappointing. P6 and P7.

Car looked faster in Q1 and Q2. When it dried out Ferrari and Red Bull found the speed.

Lando obviously not optimum after damage. Oscar flying but a slower Q3, must have lost a few spaces.

But...let's not get to stressed over 6 and 7.

0.4s in sector 1 lost. Hope that’s not a bad omen of being sitting ducks

Not a bad result… can’t be P2 every race!

At least they can repair the car properly now

Another excellent drive from Piastri

mixed feelings... great lap from Oscar! nice and smooth in tough conditions.. this kid keeps on surprising me!

Lando's quali was basically compromised after Q1, "With the damage we got that's not a bad lap"... suggesting he still had some significant damage.

Do you think they could have gone faster if they had another go?

Oscar messed up his last lap and Lando had significant damage throughout. The sprint tomorrow should be a better indicator but there may be a chance to attack the Ferraris.
