Wtf is going on with the tv directing?

Yep let’s follow the lowest car on the grid, ON A SLOW LAP, as they’re literally being shown blue flags and being overtaken by a Ferrari on a hot lap?
FOM director hates Ferrari more than the Stewards. I don't even remember the last fast lap they've fully shown from a Ferrari.
I’ve noticed this for a long time too. Thought I was just crazy. Thanks for confirming I’m not.

Mercedes going with an aggressive brake cooling to get the temps into ideal temp I suspect with what Russell said. This could be a Ferrari advantage if it's the case that front tyre temp is hard to come by

Riccardo went so far beyond track limits that i wondered if they weren't enforcing it.

Max: Still understeering, my front tyres look great.

GP: all good news today, Max
Is Max suggesting more FW is possible for Q2?

2022 Deja vu. Literally the same thing happened back then.

EDIT: easy penalty for checo as well.

didn't really listen to the radio, but Glock assumed that he said "look grained"

Got to say so far that Sainz really looking on form so far today, giving his FP3 time and Qualifying so far… would be a good story to return from appendicitis and whack it on Pole… or at the very least, out qualify Leclerc. At the least, the later looks possible…

They had 2 for both cars.

Fair play to Max, he nailed his lap.
Good job Sainz.
Leclerc was uncharacteristically slow today, never a match for Carlos.

Thank you Sevach

Well done to Max and Carlos who were on fire this session. Unusual lack of pace from Charles who never got hooked up
