Sainz still bouncing, what's so different between his car and Leclerc's?

Despite Charles ending FP3 in front Max looked like he had more on hand.

That first sector from Leclerc was something - 3 tenths faster than Max. I’m excited to see how much each team has left to offer for qualifying.

Charles was bouncing at T13 entry too, it's just that they haven't fixed it yet despite their good showing in Bahrain.

Also, MV was 3 tenths faster up until S3 before making the mistake. It will be exciting.

Seeing Ferrari bouncing with such top pace I dont think Merc will improve their pace much anytime soon...

This is so beautiful. The bottom 7 engines are all Mercedes as well. =D>

Honda is the most powerful engine, no doubt about it...
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

Was actually 0.18s, but yes, ferrari is consistently beter in S1.

I agree. Although all Ferrari powered teams have quite a bit more RW, especially vs RB that is quite shallow one, ran by Perez yesterday.

I'd like to see telemetry before saying that. With FER being so much faster in S1 I think they are still running more downforce than RBR, or it may be slightly draggier as a car than RBR.

Didn’t Max do his fastest S1 time in his fastest lap? Because when compared to that lap, Charles’ S1 was 3 tenths faster.

We have to hear team bosses crying before we know which engine is weak and which one is strong.


Look like Mercedes made a dog this year. Feels like 2009. We will have to wait until Hungary for a Hamilton win!
