Out of curiosity. When Lando did his 3rd best lap he was with used softs. The Mercedes were with fresh mediums. What could have happened if both had fresh softs?

Its good to see the Mclaren working not only on different tracks, but in windy conditions too.

Traffic ruined everything today, they had pace for more. Annoying.

Bit of a mystery in Q3, wind affected possibly?

All cars were slower during their last qualy run. I guess wind had something to do with it

Lando only did one run in Q3 and on used tyres?

What happened to that second run? Was he stopped by something?

Yeah, Lando went out on new softs, but aborted half way in, because he was too close behind Vettel (from Nor radio)

‘Too close to the Aston Martin on our last run’

That’s not good enough

He meant close in terms of track position, not laptime. Couldn't get a second lap in because dirty air would have ruined it anyway.

Not the best qualifying session for the team, but in the fight for points tomorrow... Wind conditions settle a bit during Q2 and the car shined in that session, when it picked up again in Q3 the car struggled a bit more, although there was probably pace to be a couple of spots higher for tomorrow’s race in Lando’s car, the team didn’t managed the gap to VET during the last run in Q3... Daniel had simply a mix of a bad session and some bad luck that saw him exit in Q1.

We still can get decent points with Lando tomorrow and it should be interesting to watch Daniel try to claw back to the top 10 during the race.
