A prudent approach in FP1 for McLaren?

I don't think that was missed. The stewards have explained that Max would have indeed got a 5s penalty and Lando a 10s penalty, they simply did the math and dished out 5s to Lando.

But that seems unfair to the next car, in this case Oscar, which would have passed both of them if the two penalties were applied, no?

Any news regarding the appeal?

Google is your best friend.

Nothing at the moment. I was wondering if anyone had news from Twitter or another source.

Any news regarding the appeal?

The appeal will be thrown out as no new information. Don't even pay attention to it. It's just a political move to push on some pressure.

Until decision will come...

The car seems to handle nicely here.

Yes, also Oscar said on the radio that he is happier with the car and the setup vs FP1. Curious about Lando's feedback on the new floor.

This is a useless session. They are not allowed to make any setup changes during the session because Pirelli needs the data between stints to be comparable.

Also my mind. Maybe those 30 minutes for Lando to make sense, due to the fact that he was not taking part in FP1.
Verstappen engine is giving up.

Probably useless to share, because I don't even know if tire compounds are comparable.
Still, they are super slow on the straights at the moment. This is with Leclerc, deficit is even bigger to Carlos. Are they running completely different downforce levels or is this all engine mode?

The % on throttle shows that we were clearly not pushing earlier today.

That said, your chart looks like the normal top.speed gap to Ferrari.

Main straight was almost 10kmh difference to Carlos and about half of that to Leclerc. Still, they're losing under acceleration everywhere. Ferrari should be faster, but not 10kmh faster.

Yeah, last week they were about 8kph faster if I recall. Actually it was 5kph, but if they are on throttle more it makes sense.

No doubt settings, fuel, engine, deployment will affect it all, bit it's not far from what we normally see

Still, it isn't that representative. Ferrari look handy, still.
