Well, and then who can indicate the time Lando by sector?
Live timing is now working again.

Just saw a video of Alonso doing autographs but he was definitely wearing fireproofs with a body warmer over them
Just saw another pic of him with Zak and they're both wearing the same thing, so unless Zak plans a run out :lol:

No, fuel test is done by the very end of the session, you don't do it with 25 min more running available

3rd sector wasn't very good, even the speed trap was way down on others. Did he lift off a bit or maybe the tyres didnt last?

you're quite right, they would want every possible minute on track after the issues they had today

You do it with enough time to keep coming in, stopping the car and checking the stationary readings/dip the tank between runs. No good doing it in the last 10 minutes, you might not have enough time if it takes you an extra run to what you expect.

Actually, best 3rd was done by Hamilton on a nearly 3s slower lap

very true. But he used the old layout for that blistering S3.

The feedback suggests the C5 is struggling to keep performance in the final sector. It's much softer than Pirelli would choose for the Spanish GP, just doesn't have the legs.

As soon as Alonso arrives, mclaren breakdown, but set reasonably quick times 🧐

If he did the time would've been canceled and his s3 would've been 3sec quicker.

It looks like they used C4 on that lap, so that can't be the reason.
