Norris is catching back up, Verstappen rear tyres going off. I think Hamilton is also biding his time.

Ahh never mind lol.

Hmm, was quite hyped for this and the main race but Merc look dirt slow and Norris not quick enough to challenge Verstappen.

Red Bull upgrades seem to have helped

Funny how mclaren have lost their speed since they were told to alter their ILLEGAL rear wing

Battle tomorrow is Ferraris v Verstappen based on that. Weird to see McLaren suffer from tyre deg so badly

Oh is that what it was?
I could have sworn that they've qualified at least half a second less than others since the last race. Mini DRS lost by any chance?

Come on Max.

Love the look of the McLaren this weekend. As in literally how the car looks with the chrome back and the orange. Race pace not so much

 

[Wizard]

Urgh Lewis. Where has all their pace gone from earlier in the weekend?

 

[Wizard]

Ok so he screwed up with a big lock up. Disappointing but based on the sprint he wasn’t going to do much anyway

 

[Lapeno77]

Well done George

Norris has Russell to thank there perhaps. Brilliant lap though, wasn’t expected.

Yep. Who knows if Max would have got pole but a brilliant lap from Lando

Yesterday was the first race where McLaren had worse tyre wear than Red Bull since pre Miami.

Mini DRS has next to no effect on tyre wear, it exists to counter drag at high speeds in a straight line.
