Catching up on FP2 before 3. Red Bull looks like they're driving at the limit and still not getting the top times, while Ferrari looks very comfortable at their times.


That's how it appeared to me as well. They were both driving hard but the RB seemed more on edge.

I didnt get to watch FP1 or 2, but isnt HAAS not being on kill mode exactly the plan for no unnecassary risks on no spare chassis and not a lot of spare parts?




Probably plays into it. Why throw it away on the first day. K Mag doesn't talk much at all while driving but it seemed they were doing a lot of testing versus going for hot laps. Several times they told him to not activate DRS for example.

eta-Apparently Kev has the new chassis with Mick driving the one Kev had the first two races.

DRS zones dropped from 4 to 3 “for safety reasons”

Max got smacked down with his harrassing the leader behind the SC. Good.

While I would love for Oscar Piastri to have a ride, I’ve really enjoyed the commentary he’s given during the various Sky Sports shows.

Yeah, it was pretty dickish. Glad that's been clarified.

When we get a look at both Ferrari and RBR from the cockpit view compare the turn-in to turn 11. Leclerc, in particular, makes a violent 90 degree input and the car just turns, and at least yesterday there were no corrections. Max makes an early small input to adjust the attitude then hits it with the hard input but also has a couple of twitchy corrections every time. Of course, the RB18 is set up for speed not cornering perfection.

Vettel creates more work for his mechanics.

Will he take a moped ride again?


JUst prior Ham was practicing for his future rally career.

Seb not having a good weekend, but if that means Lawrence Stroll isn't having a good weekend, then I'm okay with it.

Those Ferraris looked well planted with a lot of pep in their step. Both Max and Checo were looking fast too, but not as under control. Lots of oversteer.

Any chance Alonso finishes in the Top 5 in the race? His times looks really fast, especially in FP2 and FP3.
