Possibly. Lando said on Friday evening that they would add downforce. So I feel they've done something,, even if it is small.

But, where do you get the in session pictures from as I can never find them?

Re:Max. RB broke curfew and refused to say why, on Friday night. The paddock wide belief is that they took out the new engine to save it for Monza as the current engine is still alright.

Even so, the RB will be fast and has to be in with a shout of the win. Same as Merc.

It's another hard fight between 3 teams. Strategy will play a key role and I'm sure the team will have a clear and clever idea of how to manage the race.

So what is the McLaren wing choice finally, in parc-ferme' ?

1. FP1 = proper lowDF RW with BW also in low crank position
2. FP2 = enhanced RW (but still low enough) with BW in slightly more cranked up position

Q, race = 1 or 2 or something in between ?

I didn't see what they ran in Q but it's apparently the same as FP2. It's only the wing settings that are likely to have changed if they did, aside from any other chassis settings.

It is unlikely they didn't make setup changes from Friday to Saturday.

Mclaren has taken a gamble. Sacrifice Qualifying to have the best dry settings for race. I hope today they will start cleaning the field and get to 1-2 in a few laps. On the other hand I am terrified about Perez trying to create a DRS train.

Zak wearing a wig (red mohawk). He promised Oscar to wear a funny haircut so I guess the time has come :D

Yes Max is on fire here. Only hope for a win would be to get track position early on and hope Max gets stuck somewhere with the higher downforce they're running.

Let us all hope for the best and may our drivers and team give it our all. Also hoping that the gamble works today.

I think this race will show us if there is a chance for WDC.
