Vortex’s coming off the rear wing of max are mega. Not noticed them off any other cars.

We're having typical patchy summer rains. We wont get a good idea of potential for rain tomorrow at this specific location until like a couple hours before. Even then...

Fully agree. Crofty saying Leclerc is going fastest in sector 1 and they show Sainz on a lap that's 7 tenths off

Based on weather radar, it's unlikely to rain during quali. But the track will probably remain wet.

Maybe, maybe not. Merc, ferrari and max all looked better setup for a wet track imo. Mclaren just looked a step behind in the wet imo
Also I'm fairly sure lando did his last fast lap a few minutes later than the others around him. That makes a nig big difference in the drying conditions.

The best laps were done only 1 minute apart.

Ok thanks for the correction. Does that also include the mercs? As they look strongest in the wet conditions.

P2 grid slot looks quite bad place to start. All of the even slots have water pooling on them really

Bottas reported a dry line forming immediately. Maybe DRS for Q3 if there's no further rain..
