Wet quallys are the most fun though
If it's anything like the hairpin at the end of FP2 yesterday....I'm not sure how many laps will be run.

looks like Haas has found what fits this car best: 15°C and light rain.

Ferraris are going well in the rain too, with oldest inters.

I'm the opposite. I'd much rather a dry qualifying to get a better picture of the grid, and see what each car is capable of. I'll take an ever-changing conditions race though!

I agree to that. :)

That shower right at the end would have been undriveable.

They were until Sainz hit the white lines and went spinning off. Hope his gearbox is ok, I don't think he's gone over his allowance for the season before penalties kick in.

Toto Wolff just said that their intermediates looked like new ones after the session. They didn't get them to work at all, but know what to change for Qualifying.

The issue is if you change something to qualify well but it diminishes your race pace. This is a track at which you can overtake, so being a little lower on the grid but with a better race pace might be preferable to being further forward but then slipping back as your pace isn't good enough on Sunday.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Overtaking isn't easy here.

Merc is racing Ferrari and Aston. Track position will be important.

That is too much imho, it was bad luck that they were on the same rhythm. I understand Albon though, it was really --- for him.

Max and Alo were both up to speed very quickly. Lec also there and imho Ferrari has good cards here.

sounds like they did change the gearbox
