We're in with a shout of a dry Quali, hopefully the rain holds off.

We look neck and neck with Merc but behind RB
Think that is premature. Track evolution is big and whenever Lando was pushing, he was one of the faster ones.

Both of our drivers have to find a way to have the last lap if the track evolution is huge.

It's starting raining. Our drivers have to be in front to do a lap before the rain wets the tarmac.

Alright I judged Oscar too quickly. I don't understand where this pace came from lmao.

Edit: I think Lando is on scrubbed tires he had after Q2.

Oscar not looking on top form here. Missing a couple of tenths to Lando. That second lap was good, but it was a second lap and those tires are done for now. Might be crippled in Q3.
Looks pretty good so far lol

Yeah but 1 minute later setting a lap time wasnt 4 tenths of track evolution.

Not wasting tyres but getting some practise in.

They had no new softs left. They will have one set now in Q3.

But seeing that both Ferrari and Red Bull are struggling, the team is doing so well. I think we have a fair shot at pole. I think Norris takes it.

A shame it will rain now, we are good in the dry.

Big chance to close the gap to Ferrari. We need big laps in Q3 from both the boys.

Mercedes is mighty though, their car working amazingly well here. A shame with Max and Ferraris looking a bit out of shape, but Mercedes comes out of nowhere and steals it.

But this is what makes a big team. McLaren now is a team that looks good almost every race. That is amazing news.
