Field is very congested. A tenth or two will make all the difference. Leclerc 3 tenths slower in the sector 3 today compared to his yesterday FP2 time. Expect more from him and Ferrari in qualifying. Sainz is impressive as always.

[tifosi1993]

Did Lando use Medium or Softs for his laptime ?

Softs. Everyone did their best time on softs.

Did we lose our S3 pace from yesterday ? I just hope grid position stays the same...come Q3 :)

In my opinion NO! It is a bit tricky to get best time of Sector 3 . You can get 0.2 sec better time or lose 0.2 by little touches..

[Tifoso Svedese]

I hope that P3 is possible. Depends on whether the Bottler screws up or not I suppose.

Turn the modes up and trim the gas levels.

Let's see who's got what???

[KimiBot]

Home race for Carlos, maybe he can get some extra boost.

[ferrari1.8t]

10 minute delay in Q, they need to repair the barrier.

[jgonzalesm6]

Home race for Carlos, maybe he can get some extra boost.

and for Alonso as well.

Lots of talk in media about kicking out Bottas, so I guess Mercedes lets him win this weekend.

Lol never happen. Didn’t he have a “sensor issue” last weekend, and a slow pit the weekend before? lol he’s useless in that second Mercedes, but Merc doesn’t do him any favours....

[Keyser Soze]

Only one second difference from P1 to P17 !!!!

[ferrari1.8t]

Q1 - NOR, BOT, LEC!

[patrese86]

I didn't mind Tsunoda at first but gradually starting to dislike his behaviour over the radio so happy to see him miss out on Q2

[PURE PASSION]

Αgain Norris is faster!!!
Why we run so aggressive on FPs!!!!!!!??????

Even Gasly looks faster...!! Interesting q2 & Q3 ahead

[Keyser Soze]

Leclerc just used a fresh set of softs. Hope we do not loose performance in Q3.

We don't.

McLaren just run with less wing with Norris, hence why he is so much quicker than Riccardo in a straight line and then he's still able to find the performance in the corners.

Your shocked??? This has been the business with FP's and Qualifying.

[Ferrarichamp]

and for Alonso as well.

and Ocon too in a way, being of Spanish descent.

I know. Just wondering we they keep doing it???!!!

[gump1480]

Whatever it is ...come Saturday Norris is always faster than us :(

[Keyser Soze]

Verst did a 1:16.922 !!!

[ferrari1.8t]

Wow, VER half a second a head of BOT!

[ferrari1.8t]

Sky digging for excuses why Ham is 7 tenths back from VER. “saving tires” for the race. These fanboys make me sick.

[Keyser Soze]

Now we see the true performance of Reds and Mercs....

[nani_s23]

False alarm by yesterday Sector 3 times from Ferrari.

I’ve said wait for the quali when other teams turn up their engines.

Exactly...what I don't understand is what do we gain by this false sense of pace by running light/higher engine modes during FPs.
