I'm a little flattered and also impressed by Alpine's tweak to their rear wing end plates. I hope it works out for them!
Why? What have they done that has flattered you?
I don’t understand the use of the word flattered in that context either.

Unless he designed those RW end plates?
I don't design anything, just give the talented people at Alpine a nudge.

OK, so we've had Mazespin so far this season. He seems to have fixed that to an extent now and well played to him, so is Yuki SPINODA our new superstar?
Haha great one. Spinoda
And almost matching Mick's time so finally he seems that he can deliver some solid performance.

I hope that's not the new engine in Latifi's car. If so, then owch for him. I guess engine penalties are quite negligible for Williams in terms of grid positions though, if there's a bright side.

Don't they use their old engine for practice and fit the new engine for qualification?

That's what I thought. So hopefully for him not the new one.

I don't think so. He is a rookie. All rookies makes mistakes.


Did you see Leclerc just a minute ago? He isn't a rookie, hahaha.

Yes, they look surprisingly fast. I am still reluctant to think that they can fight for the pole but maybe a second row could be possible. It will depend on how fast Bottas and Perez can be.

Perez now quite fast but still in the mix...

What a weird incident by Leclerc, he should have continued toward the scape. It was clearly impossible to take the corner properly.

Mercedes aren't exactly setting the world on fire here at the moment.

Mercedes are struggling badly, they're not getting the tyres working at all.

I think we have some mind games going on, or a really weird program. Lewis said over the radio he doesn't know where all the time is, but then it definitely seems like he wash shifting early on some straits, and late on others, and in general the engine just sounded dull. Not to mention i didn't seen any blatantly obvious drivability issues.
