Max said because he finished 20 seconds behind in Singapore, he's aiming for 20 seconds ahead of the pack in Suzuka.

Where'd he say that?

Max was joking. He wasn't serious at all.

Vettel was busy this morning on the circuit. He painted the kerbs black and yellow.

All drivers will get two sets of 2024 C2 tyres to test on Friday, additional to the normal sets:

As far as I understand, they are free to use over both sessions, so not according to a "run plan" (like it was the case on one or two occasions last year).

Any lap time predictions? I think a 1:28.5 should be possible in dry conditions.

Doesnt seem impossible to me.

Potential threat of rain for Friday and Saturday

[AR3-GP]

bring on the middle eastern races. I'm sick of rain

Wing level quite low compared to last year. I guess a dry race is expected which helps. Looks like RB, Ferrari are running single element beamwings from what I can see

[dialtone]

Ferrari looks the same and about same amount as the rest this year.

I think McLaren's gonna be the main challenger to RBR.

[haza]

We won’t know till quali McLaren have a tendency to dawdle from fp1-fp3 an will most likely spend practice perfecting the upgrades from Singapore that being said on paper this track ticks all the boxes for McLaren so maybe they can give redbull a headache

I think McLaren's gonna be the main challenger to RBR.

I'm putting my money on Mercedes being 2nd fastest because their pace is more consistent but not by much. Red Bull will massacre the whole field anyway.

That’s I think one of the most interesting aspects of the weekend, was RBs singapoor performance down to the track or the TDs
