The team sending Norris first in last attempt of Q2, hopefully to avoid any slow cars in front of him... Carlos splitting the Mercedes cars in the cue

Norris didn't make as good of a lap as Q1 and Sainz made a huge mistake.

They needed to bring their A games, but they only brought their B+ game. Oh well, points are only handed out on Sunday, they still have a good chance to finish in the points. Norris starts 9th because of Riccardo's penalty, and has free tire choice. A one stop going medium/hard could work while the others 2 stop.

Pretty close in qualifying... only 1 tenth to P8 for Norris (lost in the first sector)... Didn’t made it into Q3, but encouraging that we are still mixing it with everyone in the midfield... Not as far from Haas as it looked initially.

Norris in 11th isn’t as bad if the team makes the decision to run Medium tires and a very long first stint, which could proof to be smart if they can make those last.

Probably, but we will never know... What is clear to me is that we have the right drivers for the current team’s situation... No need for a Class A driver when in recovery mode

Yeah...no. SAI would have clearly been in Q3 if he hadn't made a big mistake on his last lap
