Ahahaha

Well, it's the same races at this point of the year that Oscar really struggles with. It's just not rocket science, but the likes of Jos Verstappen and co see it as an opportunity to try to apply more pressure, and that is all it is. You can't blame him, he wants his kid to win it, so if he can add some spice, then he will. It's at that stage where every millisecond counts and you'll do anything to find it.

And I think it is at this race onwards that Oscar had been able to get back to a better level in the previous 2 years, so no surprise to see Oscar and Lando neck and neck here at a track that should suit the Mclaren.

The car seems competitive from the start this time and great to see Piastri coming back for another battle. Hoping for our team and drivers to occupy the top two at the end of the sprint qualifying and for the whole weekend. There is a great chance to hug the championship with at least one hand.

I have a good feeling, the cars look very fast. Two 1-2 finishes would be a dream.

Is the race pace gap real? Saw that Oscar was running 1sec ahead of Max?

no, as often in FP1, McLaren only simulated the fuel load. They did short- and long run during the same stint.

I pray for a genuine advantage of one and a half to two tenths.

Max will be close. Has just as much chance for sprint pole

Lando picked the right time to turn on this form.

He just had a bad SQ2, lucky to be through. But now he has some data on soft that others don't have.

Great job guys!

The team chose a conservative run plan in SQ3, they probably didn't feel 100% sure they can nail one lap so sacrificed some pace to have two runs.

A dream result. I expect 1-2 tomorrow.

[RedNEO]

Great lap by Norris there to bank the lap and get some distance between him and his rivals. It’s going to be crucial to maintain a gap to them.

[Darth-Piekus]

Good job from both drivers. Tomorrow Piastri should be able to eat Antonelli for breakfast and lets enjoy a team battle.

[Slahinki]

Good execution, great result.

And Lando came 1 and 2
