2024 Mclaren Formula 1 Team

"Both cars on a Used Soft tyre, with the rest of the field doing the same – except ALO who has a new tyre fitted."

I guess it may be the scrubbed one for Norris.

Yep Crofty does my head in. Seems the RB is well clear off us.

No they were on new tyres.

Whats the difference between the New Soft and the Old Soft?

Often times in qualy it means 5-6 tenths (for a tyre that was used fully). For a scrubbed set like Norris probably minimal difference.

[mwillems]

We will find out very soon!

[Xero]

Lando only did an outlap on his used tyres, so they were only scrubbed. Doubt that's worth the half second.

Piastri not enjoying this session.

[FittingMechanics]

Norris again just a scrubbing of the tyre.

[FittingMechanics]

Now that is some good math by the strategy team.

Piastri just squeezed in.

[Darth-Piekus]

Now its the time of truth. The car should be fast enough even for pole. It's Q3 time.

Norris again just a scrubbing of the tyre.

This time with 3/4 of a fast lap too.

[McFAN]

Norris again just a scrubbing of the tyre.

This time with 3/4 of a fast lap too.

He hit traffic and aborted

[f1rules]

Norris should be in top 4

He didn't do a fast lap.

He was yellow on all minisectors on the straight. So I think he just passed the line?

[mwillems]

It was tantalising in a way, that we didn't get a fast lap on new tyres in Q2, leaves a question mark over where we might be in Q3 but with the hope that we can be as close as we were in Q1.

Ahhhh OK. I don't have live timing open right now, probably I'll go in now.

I think P4 will be maximum if Perez doesn’t perform. The RBs and FER are ahead on one lap pace as kinda expected. But we look good. I’ll happily take it
