Verstappen rewarded with used hards. Leclerc rewarded with new mediums.

Probably will have time to resurface in time for the sprint race.

In contrast to Williams, the RB looked miles better in terms of balance on the softs.

Wow Leclerc almost dropped it

The wind has picked up a bit, it pretty much spat Lewis off the track and Leclerc did

Given rb's pace in the mid 33-34 range we can assume Merc did a sprint sim?
