Interesting Vandoorne has the quickest time today but is 10k down on top speed

Not that surprising. He was on Hypers, so all the time was gained on the turns.

Max spins off at T12, got stuck trying to reverse out of the gravel. Looks like he may have bumped the tyre barrier

That would make sense. interesting too see McLaren very close to TR on top speed, and all Renault/Honda powered cars at the bottom

Gasly just banged in his 100th lap.
