Seems like Max is doing a race sim maybe. His times are very impressive so far. All in the 1.37s. Seems to be pumping in 1.37.9s on used C3s

Last chance for him with Perez on the clock for the full 3rd day.

Sure, it's a total knee-jerk reaction, but wow... no one seems to be coming close to the RB. One lap pace OR race sim. Last mini race sim it looked like Max was running high 37's, Charles was running mid 38's. Both looked to be on C3s.

Ferrari race pace simulation in testing are not reliable. In 2021, they had the same pace of the Alfa.

And just as I submit this, Zho sets the fastest lap with a 31.6! haha.
