McLaren with serious grip problems and no race pace
Pace of Norris looks good to me

At least tomorrow Lando Norris should not be having any problems getting Leclerc as long as he doesn't get passed by someone at the start.

True. Lando has similar pace to Lecrec. Oscar is much slower.

Didn't they say only Norris and Max in the same times?

Surely he's quite a bit faster than Leclerc?

Since clearing Sainz, Norris has taken 2s out of Leclerc's lead

I think Charles is controlling the distance

By losing chunks of time? It's a bold move. He will probably be fine though.

It's a pity that Norris lost so much time from Sainz. But tomorrow he's gonna eat Leclerc for breakfast.

Norris should be aiming for P1 or P2 tomorrow

Totally agree. Lando has to be more agressive

I hope Oscar picked up some damage at some point, because this big gap to Lando doesn't really make sense. Seems unlikely Oscar just cooked his tires by "mistake".
