F1tv data feed is showing "U" tire for everyone. I assume that means unknown.

On German Sky, Glock is reporting from turn 1. He says Red Bull and Mercedes are perfectly balanced over the bumps there, everyone else has issues.

Good to see Perez is tucked up nicely behind Max.

Did catch Russells onboard at the very end. Looked like he was fighting the wheel a lot!
Mess with the Bull - you get the horns.

Russell needs to ask for Hamilton's set-up. Night and day difference.

They probably tried two different ones, no need to ask, just spreading what you can learn in 1 session.

Maybe Russell's setup will pay off in the race. Seems like a large deficit (5 tenths) over 1 lap to accept though

COTA has always been a good track for Hamilton, though. Could very well come 2nd here, I think.

These aren't real race sim gaps, I wouldn't bet on Ham behind far behind, maybe even challenging but 1s ahead is not real.

Oh yeah I know it's only useful for teammate comparisons

On weekends, Merc always do their long runs on sprint fuel while RB always do theirs with race start fuel load. Has been the same all year
