I think Alonso is going to be a serious threat here for a podium.
Nah, his deg is way too high.
Thought deg was supposed to be next to non-existant here?
Honda!

Aston Martin says otherwise... his runs don't look good. He got into the 1:35s at the end of the stint meanwhile Charles and Max were doing 1:33:9 and 1:33:7 respectively.

Think amr have a Deg problem this year. Quick on one lap but degrades tyres and has understeer. They built their own sf23

alonso fp2 lap
he's pressing "GO 1" twice. GO1 is aston's equivalent of merc's "strat 2" = quali mode. So they used quali mode already. Verstappen also said in an interview some people already turned up their engines, while they havent, same as bahrain.
Some nice slipstream as well in the beginning.

More like a crappier version of the SF23. Not even that quick over a single lap.

That tow alone should be worth a couple of tenths, that was like it was pre-planned!

What happened with Hamilton today, in both sessions he is not even close to Russell one lap pace, did Hamilton have any problems with the car?

Merc is very strong on the straights with their modified rear wing from last year.
Where were they losing 0,3 on the last sector (which is basically two big straights) then??
Who said they were losing 3 tenths in the final sector? Both Max and George did a 28,6s S3 on their fastest laps.
During FP1 that was! The Red Bulls were constantly gaining around 0,3 in sector 3!

I don’t know how things went in fp2…

Third year in a row he’s nowhere in Saudi?

I wonder how the hell did he manage to win in 2021…

Business as usual - Max, a gulf, the rest.
Crucially, what about norris ?
T22-23 & T27 will make or break a lap
