I don’t think the TD is responsible for the issues RB had this weekend. If you look at the car changes for this weekend, there were some minor changes to the floor edges and the rear wing.

I think it’s much more likely that they screwed up the setup badly, combined with the gearbox shift quality issues they had.

They don't have to publish changes made in order to satisfy TD - for example making wings stronger or making them in a different way. They need to publish changes only if they changed the design/idea.

AIUI, If they changed the wings or the floor etc at all, they need to publish those changes. TD or not.

Not if they reinforced them. If they made a different aerodynamic design then they have to publish it.

My information has changed to Piastri being on mediums

Now in P3 - hopefully Lando can overtake Russel on track - I think the car has more pace.

[FittingMechanics]

Norris must muscle through Perez on restart.

[FittingMechanics]

Russel pushing hard against Sainz - 0.8 faster than Lando - can his tyres last?

lando knows what he is doing - mclaren seem to have the pace of ferrari and merc, maybe better than ferrari - needs a bit of luck to get better than 3rd, but its great to see the pace is there

Sainz is intentionally driving slow backing everyone up and preserving his tyres.

[geogate]

i know that, but I dont believe they have the pace to pull away
