Ricciardo:

“The day was a bit mixed. We had the morning trying a few things but were a little bit behind after that session. We had good reason to try those things, but I think seeing the performance, we changed the settings for this afternoon, and we were certainly more competitive.
I think we can make another nice step tomorrow.”

Let's hope it's a great step...

Indeed. For both cars too.
Karun wished Lando good luck for qualifying at the Sky pad to which Lando replied ‘thanks we are going to need it’

Still losing 1s on the 3rd sector

Landon with a fair bit of porpoising

[Mansell89]

Lando slower on the faster tyres, just how many more times can we afford this to happen before we consider replacing him?!

Strange because Ric is having very little

[Xero]

Not sure it's porpoising, just looks to be running low and scraping heavily. A sign of high drag without sacrificing the downforce needed for the twisty bits. Was watching Daniel's onboard, car looks great in slow speed corners now, turns in beautifully.

[Xero]

Nice lap from Lando, engines now turned up. Maybe not as bad as we feared! Would love to see the speedtraps from that.

Edit: Daniel has matched him. Would be a massive shot in the arm to stay there!

Good to see Danny within 1 tenth of Lando

[mwillems]

Are all the panicking fans feeling calmer now?

[Emag]

I am glad to see both drivers close to each other. Hoping it continues in qualifying.

[Ground Effect]

Dan mentioned a while back that he doesn’t seem to find the extra pace most drivers find in Q2 as the track evolves. I still think his issue has a fair bit to do with tyres.

A shame to lose so much in what is essentially a long straight.
