Max"I felt amazing. All weekend I think we were incredibly quick. It's just enjoyable to drive every single compound, the restarts I think we all survived that well.
The car was basically on rails, and I could do whatever I wanted to with it. Those kinds of weekends are of course amazing to feel and to achieve what we did this weekend is fantastic.”

And work out an 'eventual setup' somewhere in between both of them. My guess is that something 'actual' like this provides more accurate info (fuel corrected of course) than FP2 & FP3. Which might prove to be the ideal thing for a 'relatively unknown' track like China.marcel171281 wrote: ↑07 Apr 2024, 19:11This year there is no parc ferme after the Sprint, so they can change setup before the GP.SirBastianVettel wrote: ↑07 Apr 2024, 18:59I wonder if the sprint weekend will be a challenge for Red Bull. Even this weekend they didn't get their setup right till after FP3.
Like Hungary 2023? Somehow feels like he has these weekends when Hamilton outqualifies him (at least in the sprint)organic wrote: ↑21 Apr 2024, 13:00One of the few weekends each year where the car is absolutely alive

Might be a tough one, especially given Monaco.
More than last year, I think so too, but it is Monaco. All can go wrong in an eye blink there. Also, shenanigans.
Alonso was up there in 2023. If it wasn’t for a epic last sector from Max, Alonso would have took 2023 pole.
