P7. not good. I don't see any mistake from him.

p7 is great in the clean side of the track just need a clean start just behind mercedes !

[fouad1979]

The Aston and Fernando have a great race pace just as mercedes Fernando behind mercedes will be the perfect start !

[selvam_e2002]

is TD change affecting AM as well. they supposed to be strong here. Please correct me if I am wrong.

P7. not good. I don't see any mistake from him.

He was more than .1 off his best S2(from Q2). There must have been something that was sub optimal there.

They are strong but not as ferrari Mclaren and mercedes in one lap but race pace is great lets wait and see !

Its better otherwise if he has beaten magnussen and start 6 in the dirty side he will lose places at the start !

You can see that both Merc and Ferrari have, since the beginning of the year, gotten rid of the hard kick out at the front on the sidepods. They have all gone to a more gradual kick. This matches what RBR and McLaren have been doing.

Weak on one lap as expected. Unlucky that Red Bull failed by the time Aston declined but to be fair I don't really care about a win this season, we are here for bigger feats in the coming years

This is one of the worst tracks to have better race pace. If Alonso cannot clear some cars, especially Haas at the start, he'll be way too far back to even crack top 5. Because Haas will struggle with tyres and cost him a lot of time. Merc will have great race pace and better tyre wear. They will be untouchable for him. Russell and Ferraris will fight for win and podium, Norris will struggle with tyres but probably hold off Hamilton.

Well if he matches his Q2 time in S2 he finishes ahead of Mag but if he improves by a few more 100th, he can finish ahead of Hamilton.

Agreed, think we've got to try a shore up 4th overall. Don't think there is a chance to catch Ferrari and Merc when they always have a chance to score with both drivers.

I keep thinking about Fernado wondering out loud at the begginning of the year "if they would be able to keep up in the upgrade race". We know now that they haven't but was the cause the technical directives or was it something else? Was it the move ? Just saying, they had suspicions going in.

I saw in F2 Norris try Hards for long runs. So, they are concerned for their tire wear.

Alo will butcher everone at the start. Just watch. I remember his start at Singapore, where he went frm p7 to p3
