Charles certainly looked to be trying to find the limit harder than anyone else.
Russell on inters was the only car i saw porpoise, worrying given that wet tires are usually slightly taller than slicks.
Both Ferrari were porpoising massively.
But they don't care.

The gaps also flatter Ferrari. Verstappen bailed out of his best lap due to traffic. He was on 2 green sectors, so probably would still have been behind the ferrari’s, but by much much less.

he would have come a bit closer, yeah, but not by too much. He was ~2 1/2 tenths quicker than on his previous lap, and already more than half a second behind Leclerc after sector 2

Just woke up but...

Telemetry for the top 3 in FP1, the rain doesn't allow to say much, but doesn't seem a very different lap from any of them, Verstappen is taking a few corners a little easier. Didn't see FP1 so I'm kind of going off telemetry only.

* T2-3-4 (tamburello) Verstappen seems to take them more aggressively although his braking is less aggressive, particularly his acceleration out of that corner he puts down the pedal much earlier, but is still slower through the corner.
* T5-6 similar story, VER braking a bit too early and corrects his timing mid braking.
* T7 VER is lifting and coasting like SAI, this actually remains true until Rivazza (T17-18, last corners)
* T17-18 VER a lot slower through here, I think he made a mistake or the car was unstable

As far as engine deployment goes, I think even if that Twitter account says Ferrari has the full power available, the drivers aren't using it.
Judging by the slope of the Throttle graph, every driver took it easy in braking, VER even easier.

Really hard to judge due to the rain, but if I were to make a wager: more time left in the RedBull for sure, but Ferrari looks more stable through the track, if the stability is real and setup related and RBR doesn't fix it, Ferrari will run away with an easy 1-2, otherwise it will be a lot closer come quali.

From local weather stations it seems the rain has stopped. Doesn’t mean it’s dry though…

F3 Q just ended, track mostly dry.
Some parts may be tricky however.

So much junk in the track now.

I know they want to get the car back, but driving around was silly.

Damn that Merc is violently porpoising damn, almost like it's getting in resonance with the track as well.

Aye. The main straight bumps seem to amplify the porpoising.

Anyone understand how Merc did 2 quick laps back-to-back there? Or was there a build lap in between
