There is a genuine chance to have both cars in the second row... Crossing everything crossable!

Btw didn't really like that Ricciardo aborted the lap, it's not good for the team. He could have helped Ocon on the straight and pull out at the end. This would knock out Albon as well.

Team is going with new tires at the start of the run.

I’m skeptical that moving to Mercedes is the right move.

Not just because this fast tracks, but because it’s a gamble and another transition year for an engine that MIGHT not be better or MIGHT not fit the car well.

I do not believe the team are moving to Mercedes because of significant performance gain, but more because of the chance to become the factory Mercedes team again, when Mercedes shareholders decide to quit their own team. That chance is quite likely in the upcoming years. Especially because of the financial crisis.

Disappointing first run, Sainz had a better lap in Q2.

"Both crews dive onto the cars for fuel and tyres. It's a rush to get out. Both cars away on Used Soft tyres. Definitely not the normal Q3 programme!"

- I don't get how they don't have one more new set? Sainz ran only once in Q1, Norris only did an out lap in Q1. I thought they get 4 sets + 1 more if you enter Q3.

Ya...very strange that...used softs seems not to help us. Let's see.

Mclaren is the second fastest team so far even by a little for this GP. Let's see if Sainz tomorrow can translate that to a podium.

WOOOHOOOOOOO!

3rd on merit!

[Ground Effect]

VAMOOOSSSS!!!

[Lucky]

Norris without update

[mwillems]

Wow, did that just happen?

Looks like the Qualy mode ruling has swung the favour from Racing Point to Mclaren

[FittingMechanics]

That had to be a new soft tire. Not sure why would the live feed say otherwise. Maybe just inexperience seeing the shiny tires at the beginning and not realizing we saved a set in Q1.

Smooth operatoor, smooth operation

Used soft for both on the final run according to the mclaren app. Wow!

I doubt this is true. Sainz saved a set in Q1, Norris did only an outlap on his second set in Q1, so they both probably had new softs for both runs.
