Certainly looking like the track changes have had no effect on the pecking order

Yeah, it was rather good, I'm holding my breath until I've seen Verstappens best effort.

Those corners are still 250kph upwards, it's not slowed them down too much.

It's close between us and RB, but Max' tyres are old, is that pole sealed?

The track was changed and high speed corners got minimum speed taken down by about 20km/h

Quickest car today on pace though, amazing job by both drivers too

Should we mention that final corner mistake from Lando??

Amazing job by Oscar, he just keeps getting the single lap performances in. As soon as he gets on top of the tyres he's going to be unbeatable.

Oscar has had more time on the track, he was fairly new to it, I'm sure he is still learning.

Lando was 0.15s up on Oscar in first two sectors, but made a mistake in last corner.

Laptime that they deleted for VER is debatable - but McLaren drivers were faster than that time.

Norris noted for driving too slow on the outlap.

It was extremely tight, but they have some cameras that we can't see.
