Lando went off track as he was expe ting a little less grip and didn't experience less grip, hit a kerb hard and went flying away and off track.

Maccas going out on used soft now.

Big gap between the boys at 0.6 seconds.

Great job by Lando to get P2 for the race Sunday

Norris pulled it all together on the lap that counts.

Wow - great lap by Lando. He seems to think again that he didn't get a good lap:
"NOR → PIT
Good job guys, car was decent, I wasn't. Good position for Sunday"

Not sure where Oscar lost all that time. Seems like he lost a little bit in every sector and at first it looked like he caught up in Q2.

Great work for Lando Norris. The car is a top two and we should be able to eat the Ferrari for breakfast in the race. What happened with Oscar Piastri? His lap time was slow.

Did Oscar had any issues on his lap? It’s a way bigger gap than what I would have expected between them… But if indeed the track doesn’t play well for McLaren, that’s an amazing result and lap from Lando… P2… They are starting to make us get used to be up there :)

Lando said it wasn't his best lap and Oscar had an error in T11. Looked really tough out there, so a P2 sounds great. A shame for Oscar though.

I don't think he could do more, he got the max and got a P2 that in most situations wasn't ours. Top lap.

Max making an uncharacteristic mistake otherwise he is fastest and will get past us tomorrow.

Great lap for Lando to place second. Oscar quite bad, 10th.

Lando seems to think there is more. I guess that is good news.

Btw P2 may be better starting spot here.
