Lando has the car to beat again, not really hard to read this. Ferrari might be again faster than red bull, which was very evident in Singapore. Mercedes not to far behind red bull, but struggle with setup/upgrades and lack of practice.
Whether he utilises it or not is a different matter
Just a fan's point of view

Uhhh I haven't seen that from this practice... but of course Lando did have a moment on his flying lap :)

Red bull look good considering time set earlier + loss on straights from engine. They are the worst in slow speed however

Norris got T1 all wrong apart from that his lap was fine, but they don't look special so far

Norris lost almost 3 tenths with that off after the long straight. With a clean lap he'd be up there with ferraris. We'll see how much RB was holding back on engine, last couple of times this deficit persisted from FP to Q, so I'm not holding my breath.

Albon proving why he's a little overrated. Franco putting a little pressure perhaps

Williams have signed the wrong driver for 2025 and I am not referring to Sainz.

Max on pole. Lando 4th. About 2 tenths cap.

Lando was quick until the final sector

That early run nearly gave it to George in the end. Cracking lap.

Russell's S1 was dire too. Not sure how it ended up as a good lap
