Best lap on 3rd attempt, car was heavy since the first laps on hards which were still great laps. Great 1 lap pace and tire deg.

Looking good after fp1

Looks like we're getting a McLaren-Ferrari fight here too. I'd bet on Leclerc taking pole.

Multiple teams now asking clarifications on McLaren mini DRS system. According to Formu1a.uno top teams would be able to reproduce it quite easily.

This week, the FIA issued a statement to say that it had investigated the reports and that McLaren's wings were legal. Asked at Friday's press conference about this statement, Vasseur said, “I think there's some kind of confusion between what happened with the front wing and the rear wing. The front wing, we all agree, could be a grey area because in the DT, the first paragraph of the DT, says you can't design a part of the car with the intention of deforming it. Intent is hard to deal with.”
What about McLaren's rear wing?
Last weekend, televised images showed part of McLaren's rear wing flexing upwards on the straight. Despite this, McLaren passed all the tests. As for Vasseur, he's still not entirely convinced by the design: “The story of the rear wing is completely different because on the article, you also have maximum deflection, and that's black or white. It's not gray, dark gray or light gray. It's black and black. And for me, it's clear.”

we got to see onboard front cam facing front wing, yes Wing is Flexing

[Seanspeed]

Has anyone been watching the front wing yet? Does it flex?

Seems to, yes.

But it's probably just a coincidence, as it would be illegal if Ferrari introduced this wing with the intention of it being able to flex, just a couple months after it was clarified that the FIA had no problem with Mclaren's front wing flexing...

McLaren is very quick. Going to be tough.

Not a bad flex for those speeds, ideally compare the same piece from McLaren, but still great work from the team.

At least it's just one McLaren for now so hopefully SAI can get his set up right for tomorrow
