Are we still having problems with the car from Spain or did they solved them and how much did those problems cost in terms of Qualification time?

I don’t think we will ever have that data, but the team has messaged that they understand why their performance wasn’t as expected in Spain and know the steps to rectify it... How much better could the car would have been with the right setup is unknown

If we qualify like this then what was the worst aspect of our car is now middle of the field(ish).

Not a bad day, feels like an improvement at this point and it could have been worse, now let's see how it really shakes down in FP3 and Quali.

I think there’s a little more to come, I know Carlos aborted his first qualifying lap effort. But around Monaco, you can get another chance on same tyre.

Not bad, it is obvious that we are struggling in a slow corners but I think there is still pace in the car left. Any chances of rain tomorrow?

When you bookend the post with a question about rain, it makes me think you are less hopeful than you appear 😂

Rain requires good traction I think so I dont know if it will help.

The first two sectors are not bad, but nevertheless, Q3 is unlikely.

This is true and I hope they get great laps in. But if they falsify in 11th then it's not a bad position.

Not sure about speed in the car. I hope so and I have no reason to think that there cant be, but we have dropped down in FP3 from FP2 q few times so I'll wait for the Saturday shakedown to see what they have...

I still think there’s a fair chance, 2 tenths from 7th, a good clean lap can take them through.
