Even though it's the first practice, it's good to see McLaren's high top speed.

How were long runs? Because there's no way that gap is real to Ferrari/Mercedes/RedBull.

Last year it was 2 tenths difference between them in fp2. I can believe 5 tenths but 8 would be crazy.

McLaren doesnt push hard on practice sessions though. They were having a normal session by their standards.

The others were off the pace for one reason or another, but we will see how the order looks like after qualifying tomorrow.

Doesn't mean much how fast you're in FP2

This table is top speed in fastest lap. Not top speed overall.

Were they though? They usually never show their full pace on Friday or Saturday on FP3. If this pace is genuine and the car has more to show then we can expect a victory for once.

Anyone knows if there are any new upgrades?

McLaren's rear wing is not as loaded as the others though, so some straight line advantage should be there assuming same engine modes and fuel loads.

There are no updates, just the use of the mid-low downforce aero package that was already tested earlier this year.
