Yeah, sometimes this place is like a funeral parlour after Friday practice. I don’t know whether people like to play reverse psychology, but so often it’s like the valley of regret! “We should never have left Honda, we should have kept Carlos, Ron Dennis shouldn’t have been kicked out, we should have given Adrian Newey whatever he wanted!”
Don't get ahead of yourself, this was only P3, not qualifying.
It can all still go wrong
Lol
True, but we should loose it after qualifying, not FP1
Haha true!
As it is, its looking very good for Lando.
But don't get ahead of yourself yet, it could all go wrong in the race!

Concerned for Daniel in Q2. Alpine suddenly showing some good pace too. Hopefully he's just building up cautiously.
Daniel definitely is a driver that gets better on every session (there were examples of this last year), but the gap is a little worrying at the moment.
The gap was indeed huge. He should have been able to be at least 1 or 2 tenths close to Lando. Maybe a mistake in his run or maybe he had used tyres and never did another run?
I don't think Ricciardo might have used his tyres a lot. I think he abandoned his run quickly. On another note I notice that Norris was the fastest in Sector 1, second fastest in Sector 2 but loses again on Sector 3 a lot.
Danny’s performance has been underwhelming so far. We didn’t get him to trail Lando but we got Danny so he could beat Lando. Obviously it’s still early days. Let’s give him a couple of more weekends to get more comfortable. But the current gap to Lando is way too big.
