Good job to the team and for Lando Norris showing once more how worthy of a champion he is to those who call him a mediocre. One more slap in the face.

Great car… Phenomenal driver

I said that the moment he gets his first title he's gonna be another man and personally Im waiting those who called him mediocre and an unworthy champion to apologise (but then again I dont think they have the guts to do that and admit being wrong).

Anyway. Good job to the whole team for that phenomenal qualifying.

Sounds like we did things to fix race pace too. Hope ANT and RUS tangle tomorrow to give us more room

When you say tangle you mean fight each other and screw up their tyres or have a crash?

All of the above

Four tenths faster than yesterday's pole position! What a lap! We're so back.

Teams have already said why getting laps in the FPs is so important for developing engine mappings.

A fair portion of that move forward will be how and when to get the power down.

Once again McLaren is THE benchmark for in - season development .

Well done

Isn't that a BIT too early to declare halfway into the season?

Mercedes has an upgrade package akin to Aston Martin's Hungary kit coming in either Malaysia or Singapore (their last proper development was deployed in May!)

Yeah that Aston Martin package probably not the one to name as a game changer.

McLaren development is showing to be great, if Mercedes goes fastest again it is unlikely it will be further ahead then when they started the season.

I'll believe this when I see it. It wouldn't be the first time for Allison to be overly cocky and then being forced to eat his words.
