If Merc have nothing to offer from PU then this is definitely a Ferrari lockout. I was hoping the RBs would pose some sort of challenge but Max made it clear they can't do anything except focus on race pace.

The race on the other hand has it a lot closer. It's almost like they're all using different cars in qualy than race.
Honestly, I get the feeling Ferrari and Mercedes have been playing games with each other for the last several races. seems like both of them are trying to hide Pace way more than they should at various parts of the weekend.

What's this sickness some 80 people in the paddock have been hit with they're talking about ? Gasly might not be taking part because of it ?

vettel's fp2 lap 1.16.607
360 kmh already in fp2. if this car finds itself in someone's slipstream i'd say 375+ is feasible

And what was without full beans, presumably.
But would his engine software allow ~13450rpm?!

Verstappen is blatantly cutting those esses, let's see if he gets pulled for it in qualifying if he continues to do so.
