Lando: “I know Charles said he made a few mistakes, but so did I. So, it's a bit of a shame. That one opportunity maybe we missed again, but I'm so happy, nevertheless.”

Norris explained that he had left time on the table through the Turn 11 left-hander that leads onto the long back straight.

He reckoned the car consistency and braking performance was better than anticipated. So, although he braked later to gain time, the car still rotated more than expected.

As such, having thought that he would miss the apex, he then clipped the kerb to compromise his run down the backstraight at a cost of a tenth. Norris also picked fault with his final corner.

:) I had fun looking over the early season results the other day. A couple of teams going backwards in development have really helped too (AMR and Alpine), though Alpine's quali results surprised me. I wonder how their race pace will be.

Great team result in sprint qualifying!

Surprising that Oscar was that much slower than Lando, was this Oscar’s first time at COTA? I can’t recall.

Think I heard one of the commentators say he was a rookie at COTA.

Ah that makes sense, one practice session is not much to learn a track’s nuances in real life.

Reminds me, does anyone remember much of the discussion from the FP session about the sim being able to add loads (like double) of (simulated) downforce? I think Ant mentioned it. Didn’t hear what the purpose was though.
