Verstappen doesn't seem happy with the car, and it has a bit of bottoming out, more than usual i believe. Did get fastest time though.

they may be going for a one stopper, S-H. any lucky safety car towards the end and they throw on a M?
Highly unlikely if you ask me. The deg from last years Bahrain suggests 2-stop, and i doubt they've improved the tire whispering to such a significant degree, even if the temps are lower.

Norris didn't open drs in sector 3. Did he make a mistake in the final corner?

The Alpines really do look like the slowest team.

The field is very closely bunched up. Not sure anyone would be able to save tyres in qualy.

Absolutely. The performance ceiling of these cars has definitely not been reached yet. Looks like a fun Quali! Excited to see what’s possible but may well come with a few errors when exploring the limits in the first one of the year

Norris was going to blitz the field when he F... S3
Red Bull made their laps and kept running, Verstappen was able to go green S2 on old tires.
Aston looks solid, same thing for Sainz.
Mercedes doesn't ground excessively anymore but looks a handful.
Weird lap by Charles lost 3 tenths in S1 alone.

Not too long until they show their cards now.

Leclerc cut the track in T3 so he must have lifted but then kept going.

Lando replaced energy store and control electronics and you have only 2 CEs for the whole season.

I remember yesterday, he requested his steering weel to be changed, this might have something to do with the ECU.
