Was fearing the ATs there, they are super quick again this weekend. Bit of a lottery for 5th down in Q3 here.

Same here... We got them by a very small margin... Hopefully we can get a good final lap... Let’s go!

RP's out of tyres? Battle is on for 3-8 h

Hopefully Lando pulls a lap on his only new tyres.

Edit:awful spelling

Disappointing last run for both McLarens, see what tomorrow brings both in terms of the 1st run up the Kemmel straight and weather wise.

Lando could easily pass the RPs. A shame cause will need to overtake them on track.

Interesting for Lando... All through Qualifying he has being down compared to the our rivals in S1, nevertheless pretty strong and one of the fastest of that group in S2... He just didn’t get S3 together in his last lap to move upwards.

On the other hand Carlos quick in S1 and behind him in S2... Wonder if they are running different setups and Lando is carrying a bit more downforce / drag

I think Lando would prefer to start on harder tyres and get his bonus late on. Still, looks good in the books
When arguing with a fool, be sure the other person is not doing the same thing.

Yes, Lando has a new engine.

Horner was saying that Ricardo’s car had no downforce. Is McLaren setting up the car for the rain tomorrow?

Hard to tell... But like I mentioned above, Lando was 2-3 tenths faster in S2 during Qualifying compared to the Renaults, RP’s and even Carlos...

That would hint for an higher downforce, or am I reading that wrong?

Even Cyril said that they were set up with super low DF and they had no chance if it rained

Yes... And the speed traps seemed to validate that:
