Gasly changed his gearbox so maybe they had to resync. Also he appears to still experience issues with fuel delivery in FP3. But good pace so far, Q3 will be tpugh though with the Ferrari double battery power.

Let's talk honestly, guys !
Without rains we couldn't achieve P6-P7 today but we could easily reach Q3 with at least 1 car
Just imagine what result would be with the upgraded chassis
Well done both drivers

Hartley says he has a contract for next year. But of course Red Bull will have the final say. So I'm of the opinion it's probably triggered by performance, hopefully he can have a clean race tomorrow. He's a nice guy, would like to see him stay in F1, but I also want him to be fast. So improvement is welcome, hope his luck has turned the corner.
Q: (Stefano Mancini – La Stampa) Kimi, will you help Vettel to win his championship this year?
Kimi Raikkonen: I can only drive one car, obviously.

But to be totally honoust, that they even ended up in Q3 in the first place was a little lucky. In Q2 there were a few behind that could have pushed them out, certainly Ricciardo had the poorest of luck.

Yeah, they had some fortunate circumstances.
But nevertheless, we should not talk down their great achievement.

PS: McLaren could be on fire now, and maybe regret their decision. But on the other Hand based on the results last year it was a decision in their best interest.

… enough for McLaren, back to Toro Rosso. I'm still very happy especially for Honda, that their hard, hard work finally really pays off.
I hope it is as reliable as powerful!

Just to be clear, I am not talking them down, I am over the moon (as apparent from my earlier Posts today) but we need to be realistic. In Any case, I was a bit fearsome during FP3, but no need the spec 3.0 so far is a big succes!

So Gasly is saying he lost couple of tenths to Hartley on straight as he could not use the full modes like Hartley else he could have been P5. Hopefully P6 is consolidated tomorrow, need a strong start.
Austin will be promising as they have upgrades coming. I hipe they catch Mclaren.

Look at those times from 6th to 18th.
3 tenths would make a hell of a difference, came in the right race
