F1.com puts us in a tight fight for second.

For what that's worth
I'm pretty sure their analysis is "take results from last race and sprinkle some insights from this race". This time we looked much worse in FP1 and FP2 yet they put us much closer than in Bahrain (where we had good results/pace in FP1/FP2).

Lando on P1 pace S1/S2 and pits again, similar to Oscar yesterday. Looks like they are hiding the pace maybe?

Lando was on a fast lap (asked for Strat 2) and then Will told him to abort on the last corner.

The free practices have been a bit odd regarding the aborted push laps. It's not something the team has done in the past years. And rightly so, because all the teams can extract relative pace from others due to GPS data, even if the lap was aborted. So you would not do it to hide pace from your competitors.

Why would they do relative many aborted push laps this weekend? Any thoughts?

I'm not convinced the car is up on par with either Ferrari or Red Bull yet no matter where we go but hopefully that is the last car that's gonna be designed on the old tunnel and the upgrades that hopefully will be coming are from the new tunnel and have to make a huge difference. Hopefully I'm wrong and today Norris will get front row. In that case I'm ready to eat my own words on a silver platter.
