Not that I want to dispute for the sake of disputing, but Norris was fully matching Leclerc on Mediums and Piastri was just a tenth away on Softs in FP2

I'm not actually sure what your disputing lol If you're referring to Imola Piastri was 2 tenths behind Leclerc and it was set on softs I think? Checking F1-Tempo and yeah this is correct. As for the longer run pace, looks like we matched them, I don't see Ferrari being ahead on long runs at Monaco. So the parallel stands from what I can see.Vanja #66 wrote: ↑24 May 2024, 23:57Not that I want to dispute for the sake of disputing, but Norris was fully matching Leclerc on Mediums and Piastri was just a tenth away on Softs in FP2Regardless, Leclerc was furious today and out of sync with the rest of the grid on how much he was pushing and risking. Gaps were exaggerated and will drop tomorrow and McLaren will be fighting at the top. Not the extended top 5, "just" the regular Top 3

Couple of tenths is plural, a tenth is singular. And came from a de facto driver #2. McLaren was fully matching Ferrari in Imola on Friday, that's all
OK, nobody says a couple of tenth. At all, and this means nothing. We were two tenths down, a couple of tenths so let's put that daftness aside.
I was also confused but he's questioning the Gap Mclaren got over Ferrari at Imola.
I didn't watch FP2 but in FP1 Verstappen was driving on the edge - he was hugging walls and seemed to have to push the car very hard to get lap time. His comments are also quite negative.
His speed all over the track was significantly down on his FP2 fast lap, straights, everywhere, so that lap wasn't close to pushing so I'm not going to write Max off just yet. But I hope he has a terrible weekendFittingMechanics wrote: ↑25 May 2024, 08:22I didn't watch FP2 but in FP1 Verstappen was driving on the edge - he was hugging walls and seemed to have to push the car very hard to get lap time.

You mean how sharply McLaren drove in qualifying compared to Friday practice. To a certain extent, this will happen. I only considered two times. Yesterday from the second practice and a year ago, but in qualification. The difference was a couple of tenths. And the MCL38B chassis, according to Stella, is now more than a second faster. By the way, Lando's time last year should have been better. Remember, he broke the tie rod coming out of the chicane. They managed to fix it, but Leclerc blocked it on a fast lap. So even the McL60 without upgrades should have been faster than the 1:12.254 shown.
Let's hope he doesn't bin it, actually, no, let's hope he does
