Perez gets all day today and they'll share tomorrow instead. Didn't want Max to have an extra hour and Perez 1 fewer

Kravitz said Hamilton and Perez will do a race simulation in the latter portion of this session. Could be a good comparison

How do you know they won't give more time to Perez tomorrow?

I feel we can safely say this will be the final season for Logan, doesn’t look like he improved at all from last year.

It appears that the race run that Perez is on, is no different than the one he had on the second day of testing last year with lap times almost similar. Similar on first stint of C3 and similar so far on C2 for his second stint. :?

Perhaps they lowered PU even more to hide their true performance? Or perhaps different weather conditions?

Merc running with lower fuel now. Higher engine too judging by 313 km/h on straight, versus 310 earlier on his "fast" laps

Leclerc’s fastest lap came quite early in the morning and it looked quite fast too!

If we could compare the conditions between early in the morning and early in the afternoon when Max did his best time yesterday…which condition is more favorable for lap time??

You'd have to check the track temperature and wind patterns.

The circuit is much more rubbered in today.
