Looks like Alonso and Aston will be keeping Alpine company next year.

Double prep lap for Max on last lap of Q3. Weird. They haven't done this all season

Didn't he try that in Saudi Arabia and it didn't work there either?

Wonderboy russell still couldn't beat lewis on his second attempt even when lewis fluffed sector 1

I hear that George is "sacrificing" his race setup to try and find a better route for the team in 2023...

To my eye on TV it looked as if a few track limits were not called.
In Q1, Max, in Q 3 Stroll and a couple of others looked out to me.

Too late now though.

Times can still be deleted until final quali result is called

True he’s getting a spanking. I think HAM was too close to VER?, they didn’t account for VER doing 2 prep laps.

Yeah potentially cold tyres for turn 1 n overshot or something, haven't seen it yet though.

Anyone know why they are running this late? Throw in a big crash with a lengthy red flag with track repairs, or a tiny bit of a drizzle, and we would not be able to finish before dark. Seems like an unnecessary risk to take?

Easy peasy Verstappen win tomorrow. Will sail past Sainz on lap 3.

Very clean lap from Sainz on the onboard

I just saw the VER still from Q1, looks pretty cut & dry he was out.

To sail past on lap 3 Max must have a significantly faster car which he does not have as we’ve just seen. On one lap pace at least.
Having a better race pace is a different story, but this does not show itself after only 3 laps.

Well, tyre wear will be a factor. In Suzuka the Ferrari churned through the fronts in a few laps. The RB top speed will also be a big factor when DRS is active. We’ll see.

Did any team have a stronger long run pace in practice, I missed the second practice due to it being a tyre test
