Track looks really bumpy, but Jenson saying it is better than last year, though pretty bumpy on the entrance to 12 (I think he said)

Looks windy. Not ideal for Mclaren
Alas the iridescent livery is also a bust on camera. Surprised that they didn't do this in Singapore

Even though it's early in the session Skysports commentators talk about Red Bull gaining 2 tenths on the medium speed corners compared to Mclaren.

We shall see. Anyone here having Engine Modes of each team? See who is having the engine higher or lower than normal.

The repercussions are marginal but are in the race - Zak Brown. How odd.

Zak says Mclaren look strong here.

But says that Max also looks strong for pole.

The joke is good and all but I am interested to find out why Mclaren is struggling so much after Monza on every track against teams that used to eat for breakfast before Monza most of the times.

Sorry =P~

Mclaren will re-engage with an update if they need to.

Its all a bit bizarre. If Oscar touches Lando does he get repercussions? Will they balance each other out.

Who knows.

Perhaps Lando isnt allowed to wear his lucky underpants this weekend.


May be its absolutely nothing and this is a subtle tyre water moment.

I heard McLaren is using 2 engines in each car for FP1 and all the other teams only have a horse from the nearby rodeo
