Oscar is now proving me wrong.
He is just clinical. Why crash in free practices? Slowly ramp it up and show up in qualy and race.
I do think he was struggling, but you may be right, he might have been holding back. But at this level, it would surprise me that he wasn't even pushing on his fast lap.

Good job to both Lando and Oscar with used tyres. Especially Oscar as he improved from FP3. Onwards to Q2.

Ferrari are in trouble. Just need Max to have a wobble.

Lando and Oscar doing their job...but I don't like Verstappen in P2. And Ferrari struggle from FP3 seems to continue.
And Russell screaming about tires....also not looking good for Mercedes.

We need more in front of Max and behind the two Mclarens. Q2 time and let's keep improving.

Verstappen and Ferrari trying to save a set. Let's see how he does.

Very important session coming up for Lando. Minimum top 3 required for any chance of a WDC fight. Best of luck to him and the team.
Bar any mistakes the car should put him on pole here. VER needs to finish 5th or bellow tomorrow for things to get interesting
The RBR has suddenly become a threat here and it will be a good result for Lando to finish before him. Something has happened which cannot be explained now but certainly Max is looking extremely strong. Amazing turnaround.
The WDC is a very very long shot without any DNFs from Max.

Wasn't a good time from Lando. He lost 2 or 3 tenths more from that slide or maybe less. He was more than 7 tenths on that second part.

Yep, lost like half a second. Chicane was not good too.

Good laps by Ferrari on used. Still looks good for Norris.

Yeah told ya. Norris lost a lot of time from that slide. Hamilton did his best lap. In the meantime Russell struggles a lot.
