Think that was on C4? He made a mistake in S1 and was held up by Sainz

Following a YT channel so may not be accurate. They changed it to a C3 now. If it’s a C4 then I’m not worried 😂

The RB seems heavy despite the tires, think they don't want to show their hands too much by using more fuel?

Yep, if you combine the best sectors from the earlier lap, then the ideal time is quicker yet.

He's the only one on the C5 doing fast laps though.
