It's definately a bonus, but let's not count our chickens before the eggs hatch.

Max was gonna get pole, but the chance might now be gone.

How was Max going to get pole? He did 2 runs in Q3 and used up all of his new tyres?

Mclaren's execution in qualifying top notch so far.
Let's see the race.

Because you can still set a good time.

It's not without reason that Merc and Mclaren are in the queue.

Just wondering why you said Verstappen ‘was’ gonna get pole. After his second run on his new set he was still slower than Lando and that would have probably been session finished?

Not really. They made two mistakes.

1. In Q1 they used two sets, they could and should have used one. The car is much faster than Q1 cars.
2. That same second run in Q1 they left the pits very late, Norris just managed to start his lap but Piastri didn't make it. If there was more improvement on track, PIA could have been eliminated.

Due to 1. Norris had only one new soft in the Q3 but luckily he made a great lap.

Btw I am very surprised Verstappen didn't try a new lap?

Great job by the team. Very tight.

Hopefully a nice path towards some big constructors points.

Agreed with both. This is something which they should look at.
Probably Q1 was more complicated because of the improving conditions. Not that being the last runner/s is wrong, because the grip is usually the best for the last runner/s.

Even with two runs on Q3 Max didn’t. And he knew he couldn’t so he got out of the car and didn’t try after red flag. Lando and Oscar with McLaren performed this exceptionally!

Break out the cigars! Keep the champagne on ice! No idle talk of Mercedes recovery today.

To be fair the temperatures today were -20 on yesterday.

It was very close with different conditions, let's wait and see what happens tomorrow!

Best we keep our feet on the ground.
