Ferrari should be ultra strong here. But.. Expecting Aston and Mercedes to get in the mix. McLaren will be nowhere. One williams in Q3.
Why do you think McLaren will be nowhere?

That causative network of evidence is too complex to unravel here. It would be too many petabytes for the servers. Let's just say it's a well seasoned lunch for now.

If this McLaren livery really is supposed to look like the one from the early 90's, they didn't do a particularly good job.

On the basis of FP1 short and long runs, Ferrari appears to be quite far ahead. Mercedes is deep down in the dump.

It's not meant to be a Marlboro livery - especially considering that McLaren are sponsorsed by British American Tobacco (Vuse)! It's just the normal dayglo Papaya livery with white bits instead of the plain carbon. :)

Honestly I do think it kind of gives off a similar vibe. They can't just go full Marlboro for several reasons. As mcuh as I'd love that livery.

Likely engine mode I suspect. Ferrari seem to have the wick turned up also, but most of it is probably good traction.

Part engine mode. Part massive upgrades. They were proper fast in both Baku and Monza.

Predicting Mclaren will be 'nowhere' at any track would already be bizarre, but to say that at a street track where they've been strong all year, and where they were actually surprisingly strong even last year?

Again another claim that seems to have no reasonable logic behind it. :/

Ferrari doing multiple laps on one set of softs, Mclaren did one and done.

Not McLaren. Lando only.

In FP1 he did more runs but this time I guess he felt that the lap is good.

FP2 confirms Ferrari is ahead of McLaren (Lando more precisely). Max and Oscar are behind them with Williams' (if their pace is real) slightly behind and then there is Mercedes of George.
