why is qualification this year so painful
This might sound optimistic of me, but I felt like Sainz was heavier than others and seeing the trace I think Leclerc just got a bad batch of tyres or just lost a lot of adhesive grip by going with 2 warm up laps. He managed 2 quick laps yesterday, but these tyres gave up on second attempt.
Actually I now see his 2nd "warm up" lap was a failed attempt and he was .25s quicker through 1-2-3 alone and he gave on T3 exit or ran into someone. He was braking later and carried more speed through entire section. I definitely feel he just lost adhesive grip on that 2nd lap and that was it
