So bad? Not bad at all.

Something just doesn't seem right. Lando will be right at the front I expected that but the gaps seem way to big. No way Redbull with max in it is that far off both in qualy and race pace.

The gap between norris and Oscar is startling. Lando is on form but its a great shame that the pole position here is probably one of if not the most hardest to keep by turn 1.

I really hope the race pace is as strong as FP2 and FP3 shown. As our colleague Avocado also said, not bad at all.

[geogate]

just hope they havnt dialed out the race pace for the one lap - i think Max was genuinely concerned over race pace yesterday

[Szabi1112]

Omg Oscar. With this pace even the q2 will be tight…

[Darth-Piekus]

Where is Piastri losing time compared to Norris? Where can he find 2 more tenths?

Where not ?

How is this possible, what's going on with Oscar?!? Norris looks so fast!!!

[Darth-Piekus]

This is indeed not possible. How is he losing so much time? How does he have such a huge difference? This never happened before.

Edit : Piastri said something strange with the PU.

[Avocado]

1 sec gap is insane.

[Darth-Piekus]

Even half a second in Q2 is insane.

Ferrari and Mercedes between Norris and Max would be the ideal outcome.

It's what happened last year.

Oscar is obviously still not a complete package. On some tracks and conditions he struggles.

Btw Norris did 16:5 on used softs on his final run in Q2.

You know. We are okay with that. He will improve. He did a fantastic year and we have to commend him for that.
