Doesn’t look like it. Already 0.4-0.5 off Ham in S1 alone. Ouch

Both guys scrape through to q3. Did Dan abort his last run at the end?
Lando must have made mistakes, he had two yellows on his last run. At least I hope he did.

That is strange. Did the weather conditions changed. We are nowhere near FP1 performance. However let's wait for Q3 cause that is where we give it our all and the car shines.

Maybe these hours are not very good for the McLaren to warm up the tires

Good qualli from both guys. Leclerc pulled it out of his arse. We are faster in race pace.

Mclaren is a faster car and I am confident we will clear some of those in front tomorrow. The car is probably with race set up.

Lando said that they were in good position for the race tomorrow after crossing the line. Makes sense to set up the car for the race since its two races this weekend

Happy to see the cars close. Pace looks decent. Ricciardo gets a nice confidence boost.

FP1 is practice… Just as when it shows the team way off the pace and we shoulnd’t be too pessimistic… When it is a good showing in FP1, we shouldn’t be too optimistic… It is just practice!

The track was evolving too and bring some cars back in.

The car may well be set up more for 2 races though, it remains to be seen how many places we can make up tomorrow.

Let's go for "pole".

You can sayy I am overly optimistic :).
I think you and I may have held too high a hope for this session!

Hopefully it's all part of the plan.
