They have to find something. These wet conditions are killing Mclaren.

Piastri was a second faster. If Lando matched him it wouldn't be close at all.

Gonna need some massive setup changes to rescue this, if it's at all possible.

Our day might be done unless they find something that gives them 2 seconds in time or unless the conditions become good for intermediate tyres. I find it strange that Lando an englishman is not performing in the rain.

It looked to me like Lando was always close behind someone, driving in the spray. Maybe he should fall back more to have better visibility.

Looks like visibility/rain is easing off.

We need intermediate conditions to be better. The more dry it goes the better Mclaren becomes. Their best are between intermediate and dry.

Both now on intermediates. Hopefully we can improve as we do lap after lap. We need them both safe in Q3.

If it rains, Lando is screwed probably, maybe if someone has a lap deleted.
