Nobody is hiding speed and we are on the game and on par. Less than 2 tenths is nothing so it's game on. Let's go get them Lando and Oscar.

I don't want to undermine Lando, I want him empowered and liberated as a man and a driver.

But as I was saying last year, this year we can't afford Q mistakes from drivers or the team because the drivers will be able to make the difference. Here's to cheering on everyone to bring it together this year, because if it is this close for real, we are title contenders.

Seems Piastri is not able to match Lando in Q1. I still have faith in him, Piastri is a guy who improves a lot between Q1/Q2 and Q3.

Good news is that Norris was able to abandon his lap before the hot lap. So he only scrubbed his tyres.

Last year, scrubbed tyres were quite useful in the race and the tyres carried over this year, remember the much improved Tyre Deg last year and the story of the tyre scrubbing helping?

The car is finally on par with the first 4 teams and the title game is finally on. If this is a GP that doesnt suit Mclaren then this car is gonna destroy the competition once we come in Jedda, Australia and Suzuka from their sheer downforce. Also it's the best time to start recieving upgrades from the new facilities.

And let's remember, this is a track that does not suit the car. I hope we are in the fight for pole here, if that is the case this will be a great season.

Let’s not bolt the car before the horse…..
I’m just glad we improved decently well over the winter. And if anything closed the gap towards RB.

Now this is the kind of battle I havent seen for more than a decade. 5 Teams that are on par. Now we must be faultless as it will count.

"Both cars on a Used Soft tyre, with the rest of the field doing the same – except ALO who has a new tyre fitted."

I guess it may be the scrubbed one for Norris.

Yep Crofty does my head in. Seems the RB is well clear off us.

2, maybe 3 tenths. More if the used set was spent, not just scrubbed.
