I still have no real handle on any car's pace, all over the place so far this weekend
Happy for Lewis though, he sounded genuinely stoked. Hadjar continuing to improve, good for him
Red Bull seems to have the edge on straight line speed, the rest of the track being so abrasive probably means that Max will get his win of the year tomorrow.
"Mercedes struggling on straights" Yeah the sandbags should come off in Q3
I mean Mercedes downfall is fine too I suppose
It's because they pained the car green, the speed of the green cars got spread out a little. That's why the astons made it to q2 and the mercs are so slow.
They look like Astons, and no one's getting passed by an Aston.
