Did David Croft just try to tell us that Piastri has lost 4 tenths in the middle sector before he’d even got through the sector?

Yes I think he was looking at the driver above Oscar on the list down at the bottom of the table

The crowd is always great at Interlagos. I need to go there once.

Haas seems to be fast everywhere now with that new floor.

Think you need to change ‘Haas’ to ‘Bearman’

It took some time but ANT is doing much and much better

[Mogster]

Aye, Russell is having trouble with him now.

[Jambier]

Also Bearman is doing very fine.
He is compared to OCO who is not someone slow, and keep progressing.

Finally, between Hadjar, Antonelli, Bortoleto, Bearman, we have a great new generation of drivers

Tire update. McLaren isn't really in a great position for tomorrow

Struggling to remember the rule. Do they still give the top 10 in Q3 an extra set of soft tyres?

no, there never was an "extra set", but on normal weekends one of the available sets is reserved for Q3. On sprint weekends, they can use all softs whenever they like.

At yes, I’ve struggled to get my head around it all season long really but I never realised sprint weekends threw that curve ball although I knew that they could retain all of their allocation the entire weekend barring what they gave back after FP1.

So, during a normal weekend when the pundits and even yourself say drive ‘A’ has ‘x’ amount of sets of soft- is the reserved soft for Q3 included in that number?

yeah, it's part of the normal allocation, and therefor also of all tire lists Pirelli sends out. So for it not to be included, people would need to manually deduct the Q3 set, which I don't think anyone does.

Ok, I understand. Thank you
