So, any race pace available on the table or it's gonna be a struggling weekend?
Unless tyre wear comes into play, its not going to be great. 4th or 5th fastest car. Their long corner speed isnt great and lesmos and parabolica are a huge time differentiator. RB was massive through parabolic.
Highest temperature of the weekend should be in Sunday (plus the new tyre allocation for Monza), so if aston retains the same good tyre deg from earlier in the season, even if qualy is mediocre maybe the race could go a little better.

I do not understand why they are just running with 1 soft all session long and afterwards ALO complains about it. Today they will waste 1 set hards for just a couple of laps before switching to softs again. Why not use this hard set in both sessions, for a better lap count like everybody else…

In case they are on border in q1, they need put on one more new set of hards. Same with mediums for q2. This quali format just pushes teams to save new sets of med and hards and hence is what you are seeing

only from 2 out of 20 drivers, though: Alonso and Hamilton. As two more sets need to be returned after FP3 anyway, most seemed to be fine with using one of those sets in FP2 already.

At what point does Aston Martin realise that Lance is their biggest liability.

A great demonstration of Stroll's future F1 world championship talent today. Lack of practice shouldn't be an excuse. He's had time in the simulator and many seasons at Monza before.

A waste of an F1 seat.

Even though his missed Friday, it’s still inexcusable.

Lance is sometimes even fast, but he seems like a rookie.
It doesn't look like he debuted in 2017. It looks like he's having his first season in F1 (in terms of performance).

Not sure why they chose to ran Fernando without a tow at the end. Didn't watch the onboard but apparently there were no mistakes in the lap. Anyways lets see tyre wear tomorrow and race pace

See if he can more than make up the time lost in the straights in the corners. He was losing too much time in the corners.

R u sure, he has not made any mistakes in the last run?
I was expecting him somewhere 7th ahead of Mclr & one Merc.

Didn't seem to work though.
Yeah, he lost almost 3 tenth in S1. He was green in the other sectors but not to the tune of 3 tenths.

That's what one person said in the autosport forums at least, that he didn't make a mistake, because I didn't watch it myself.
