So, official upgrade documents are still some hours away. Who was supposed to bring bigger packages? Haas, RBR, anyone else?

Also it's a weekend with lots of teams bringing large packages . Strange!

Time zone, maybe? I mean, it is what, around 9 in the morning over there right now. OTOH, sometimes you already see things on Thursdays.

Yeah we didn't get many pics from the pit lane yesterday

Anyway it seems AMR will have a new front wing and floor.

Red bull will at least have a new floor

[Luscion]

car display is in an hour and thirty mins so should start seeing pics of the cars soon but yea very odd theres been nothing yet

[djones]

The illegal ride height thing from Redbull. Does that show as an advantage in just qualifying, just the race, or both? I'm a little confused by it.

I guess even if it's just one it should still make for an interesting weekend.

[BorisTheBlade]

So far they are denying, that they were able to adjust through Parc Ferme which would have handed them an illegal advantage for at least Qualifying.
But it looks more like that it just simplyfied adjustment between P1, 2 and 3.

Big upgrades:
Merc, Aston, Haas

None:
Fer, Wil

Everyone else is in between

[RacePaceDemon]

Wow close one there for lewis and George. Have they introduced some upgrades that make it undriveable, looks very stiff

[FittingMechanics]

Both Mercedes drivers having spins in FP1.

Most cars are on hards so far, not much interesting to report.

Mercedes had a couple of spins. Grip seems low. Now we are getting cars out on softs (VER and PER were on softs already and they are out on used softs now).
