What a shame... Lando will have to run again in Q1 after catching a lot of traffic at the end of the lap

That block on Norris means he may have to run again and burn a set of tyres. Not ideal...

There will be so many cars on track now. Lets just hope that he finds a clear lap.

Most will probably, the times are very close... When you have Russel at +0.63 and Lec in 9th at +0.416 from pole, they all have to run again.

RIC seems to be happy with his lap and not coming out?

Mazepin traffic. Mazepin was within his rights but I doesn't exactly make me warm to him.

I don't know how much the tarmac was improved since the first run but the car is powerful here.

Good lap, but so annoying that he had to do two runs in Q1. Hopefully he gets through to Q3 with one lap as it wouldn't be ideal to run in Q3 only with one set of fresh tires.

I would have gone for a fresh run on the softs straight from the first run in Q3 to avoid a repeat of Portimao. You all saw what happened at his first run?

This is a bit off topic but how come former Racing Point and now Aston Martin have fallen that much in performance this year?

Track will most likely be faster at the very end of q3 due to more rubber on the track so chance for a quicker time using fresh tires at the end will probably be more ideal.

New floor regs have hit them hard.
