Very close but lando has nailed it so far, just 1 timed lap in q1 and 1 timed lap in q2.
He will go very close to pole but I'm hoping he can achieve that whilst having a few cars between him and max.

Oscar seems a touch behind but the boys got speed.

Looks like Ferrari were indeed pushing more in FP3, as I posted.

I don't think Ferrari was pushing, but their car is naturally very good on its tires this year. I got "tricked" a bit because they had impeccable consistency and speed on used tires and I just assumed there would be more margin for improvement for them.

As for now, it seems I overestimated their advantage, but let's wait for Q3.

We'll see at the end, but I'd be surprised if the speeds on the end of the straights isn't much closer, I feel pretty confident we were pushing a bit less.

I also was a little confused like you, I thought the used tyres would have lost them more time and so I feared Ferrari a little.

I don't want to count my chickens before my eggs hatch, but Ferrari look to have Sainz in a higher position due to his ICE.

Almost nothing in it. It will come down to who nails the final lap.

I'm confident both drivers have a very fast car to get pole. Let's give it our all in Q3. We got to perfect the TOW for Q3.

As do Merc and Red Bull, Ferrari with an outside chance still.

[Darth-Piekus]

We have to make a perfect TOW for both drivers. It will make the difference in the end.

Happier now Emag?

[Mcl_G10]

Lando p1, max p8?

Il need to lay down for a while if that sticks!!

[mwillems]

It won't.

[Darth-Piekus]

So far so good and we didn't have any TOW but we need to find two more tenths to be safe. We must get both drivers behind a TOW to find more time. After all we aren't that far here in terms of Qualifying pace.

[Emag]

Happier now Emag?

If it remains like this after the second runs, yes. But even happier if they have the same advantage in race-pace tomorrow

[Darth-Piekus]

Red Bull will try the TOW. We got to find a TOW for both drivers.

[Slahinki]

What a result!

[mwillems]

It won't.

Wow, I eat my words!

[ScottR267]

What a result and even sweeter with Max down in p7
