We seems much faster in race trim than our rivals interesting

We don't know it the PU has run in conservative mode today like in Baku and if they finally install the new version PU for tomorrow.

lol both Mclarens are doing long runs on used softs atm and they are on lvl with Lecrec times on same laps used softs.
Both Mclarens seems way better on long runs than HAAS drivers that are also on softs.
SAI is doing constant laps at mid 1.23s he went the soft up to 19 laps, more than anyone..
very very impressive staff from Mclaren on soft long runs !!

Edit:
Mclarens and Lecrec switched to HARD. LEC started mid 1.22s and SAI high 1.22s . NOR cant follow SAI pace on hard.
Hard seems more hard to read.Even SAI was inconsistent. Lots of ppl went from soft to medium and others went from soft to hard.
Some medium runners where pretty fast also,on long runs, RIC in particular but MCL didnt used medium for long runs at all.

Great, thanks for the detailed info!

Interesting, I believe Ricciardo is using the upgraded PU already, maybe that could also be a slight advantage?

Sainz did a 1:17:1 in testing on a C4 tyre. The softest compound available this weekend is a C3.

They know the car better, have upgrades in it, the weather and temperature is more conducive. Expect them to up the game tomorrow.

Confirmed he's using it. Spanish press says that McLaren will make a decision if they use it tomorrow based in the data collected by Ricciardo today.

I think it is confirmed they will use it tomorrow. All 4 cars will.

Seidl also called them “small updates”

The pace on the hard lineup of Carlos is impressive.

Lando and Seidl trolling...

Two of Mclarens courier cars gone out tonight with more parts on board - don't know if that's more updates for FP3 or the parts to fit the engines if they've decided to go with them after looking at Ric's long run pace on the updated motor.
