Best possible case for them, they can't turn on the tires in a single lap, so having to do a mini race for quali levels the field for them.

I wonder about track conditions. Ocon put the Alpine in P3. Verstappen pitted.

Is the tire range too hard here?

If the grip is this poor, imagine when they can't have tire blankets :?

Mercedes has made a lot of progress without even upgrading their car, just by playing with the setup. Impressive tbh.. Now I wonder if ditching the concept is the right decision. LOL

They brought a floor update in Jeddah and modified the floor edge for this weekend

But yes Merc are notorious from extracting a lot from the package in the end, even if they struggle at first
