Watch for the red flag now guys

Ferrari did have better pace earlier in FP3, when it was overcast and colder. Might be related.

Lando can do a better lap but not sude if he has sub 16.

At least it should screw up VER lap as well. Disastrous for our WCC though.

Ferrari able to give a tow to their drivers. Helps having 2 left.

Probably would have ended P4 after lap 1 had he taken pole, so this isn't so bad, but wow what a lap by Carlos.

[Szabi1112]

Pff never mind. Norris would have lost the lead at the start

[FittingMechanics]

So guys you got your wish. Norris starts P3. Ideal to slipstream and cause chaos in T1.

I need to let go of hoping for WCC. I think it's slowly slipping away. But maybe we get lucky and Max does a Verstappen.

Still mad about Piastri. We need him at least finishing P5 to limit the damage Ferrari can do.

I think starting from 3rd is much better due to that huge straight and if Max divebombs out of bounds along with Sainz we might have Lando first by the end of first turn. The WCC has a long way to go and we have a 48 points advantage yet.

Max will ignore Sainz.

Max will ignore Sainz.

He definitely won't risk anything with him so no divebombs into T1.

[Darth-Piekus]

Remains to be seen. He wants as many points compared to Norris.

Btw track temperature dropped heavily after Q2. This suited the Ferrari who were good in similar conditions in FP3.

These cars are super sensitive.

[Emag]

Anyway, Ferrari seems to be the best car now. If they are on pole I am assuming they will just run with it on race pace since qualifying is where they are at their weakest.

Honestly not looking too hot for the WCC, unless things swing around in the upcoming races.

Remains to be seen Emag. The WCC is still open and definitely not lost yet just as it was not won yet in Singapore.

The race starts an hour earlier that qualifying. So the temps will be higher...so not all is lost for norris...
