Verstappen wanting to send a message today, let's see if Perez can find something and make it close.
Perez has to stick it on the front row if he wants to continue his fight for WC with Max. I dont think he has the pace to match/beat Max this weekend however.

Once Max is dialled in, he takes a LOT to beat.

Merc and AMR got the sandbags out or just lacking pace?
I guess both did not show their full hand - but to different degrees :wink:

No one posted that? A truck with Leclerc's Ferrari drove on track during Porsche Carrera Cup - definitely an unsafe release!

I literally just seen that on TikTok. Shocking really. I think it was only a sighing lap for the Porsche, but still out of order none the less.

He will breeze paat the Ferrari in two laps more likley. His focus is probably on race pace, the expected safety car and how to attack Max in the closing stages.

Since the Porsche is a closed cabin vehicle maybe radio messages sent to avoid the truck is safe enough? I dunno just guessing.

Stands look very very empty considering its Quali day.
Yeah, I noticed that too. Quite a failed event

Will see in a couple hours what they look like.

When I go to see a certain series, I always watch the support races too. It would bug me paying all that money for a ticket and watching just 1 session/qualifying/race

This is not a live session. The Porsche supercup cars were being moved to the pitlane from the support paddocks.

It's not actually a big deal.

Verstappen is in another dimension in sector 1 so far. Taking 4-5 tenths out of Leclerc and Perez. The rest of the sectors are fairly comparable to others.

It seems to me that Max is demanding a little too much from the mechanical transmission of the RB since the beginning of the season. If the asphalt is slippery this can cause problems.

Is it possible the teams might be aiming for a 2-stopper? I think the Ferrari’s and the RB’s saved two sets of Mediums.

Most likely just to have a fresh set in the event of SC/red flag for extra stop
