No man, people here are more calm cuz we managed to gain points on Mclaren in the WCC despite every reason to believe it should have been the opposite and the end of the championship. We're relieved, despite it not really being super positive from a pace perspective, though we expected to be slower here to begin with.

Abu Dhabi can hopefully be different, even if WCC is still quite the long shot. Wish it wasn't a night race...
Abu Dhabi is still warm at night isn't it? Not hot but warmer than Qatar. At least that's how I remember it.
The race is two hours earlier than Qatar so yeah.. :)

How was the deg today? It looked to me like Leclerc had been faster than Verstappen and Norris a few laps by the time the safety car came out. I mean he was never going to win it regardless, but I'm curious if he was suffering less deg than his competitors regardless.

It also looks like the ambients temps will be higher so tire temps shouldn’t be a problem next weekend

I couldn't remember. But with the race so late in the year in December, daytime temps are pretty reasonable, so there's no outright need for it to be at night, though of course that's not the only reason for it.

I'm still expecting to be competitive regardless, though also wouldn't be surprised if we're still a few cents short of a dollar when it comes down to it. Mclaren is still the better car, full stop. WCC will need some stars to align.

To the person who asked about Sainz's damage, he mentioned it here. Unfortunate but I don't think it was avoidable, just terrible luck.
