We have rain again. Can we bolt more downforce?

It was risky. Very risky.

To be fair, there were 4 others pitted below so whilst it was a risk, I think it was always going to be OK. Still, you wonder why they didn't go again.

Zak says they knew they were safe and Lando didn't need to go out.

Only 2 were in pits when Lando came in, but they must have seen others were coming in. Still an "oh oh" moment!

It was still risky but at least they made it. Now no more risks. Go out do a top lap and let's see if rain comes. Problem is that the Mercedes are having the upper hand in these conditions. Any chance we can bolt more downforce between Q2 and Q3 or is there gonna be a dry Q3?

I think they knew the others were on slow laps to come in though and were pretty close behind Lando.

We shall need definitely another lap with a new soft.

I still think that time might not be enough. We should do one more to be sure.

It seems that the drier it is the better for us and even better Max has damage so he is missing downforce. If we can have an 1-2 here and put Mercedes behind us with Alonso also containing Max to 6th place it will be perfect.

Now pray for it to stay dry until the end.

Big big opportunity here. The whole team needs to nail this. Get p1 and p2 and put cars between us and max if possible
