Anyone spotting any difference on the car regarding updates? I would like to see pictures.
The new floor was on both drivers from what I saw. About the front wing, Daniel was testing both the old and the new one I think.

Lando was going quicker on his 4th or 5th lap on the softs before he went off, so they definitely have the pace today. Hopefully it carries over to qualifying.

exactly... considering how much these softs seem to fall off pretty good

We are getting closer. Good to see DR is on it a bit more today. I feel like he will still drop off a bit, but it's looking nice for him in FP3.

Yeah, lots of positives from this session. Both drivers within 0.75s of what was clearly a stonking lap from Max. Danny Ric only a tenth off Lando is very encouraging too.

Maybe the Ferrari's will pip us in qualifying, they've looked very good in all three sectors... but will be very close, I still believe :)

Shame Lando went off, was going a fair bit quicker. The adjusted time graphic had Lando 4th fastest, would bite off all hands for that. Daniel getting more comfortable bit by bit. Still massive unknowns going into qually again, going to be a classic season.

Fingers crossed for the fourth race in a row, improvement from P3 to Q is massive and we can challenge for the second row or at least consolidate the third row.

I think the best news is that they are not miles off in S3. Lando literally quicker than Charles in S3 and remember, his second lap was his fastest, as he had to abort the first.
