Bottas outqualifying Russell was pretty funny, as was Max's response when asked if he was sad Mercedes were off-pace. | ||

Ferrari in comparison seem to have a much better handle on things. At least one car from each Ferrari-powered team made Q3. Magnussen did amazing all things considered. P7 in his first qualifying in more than a year in a car with hydraulic problems. Hopefully they can get their issue sorted so he can race tomorrow. Albon did amazing given how poor that Williams has looked this weekend. He outqualified Latifi by almost a second. The McLaren looked awful. Ricciardo's onboard showed his car understeering constantly. Bottas outqualifying Russell was pretty funny, as was Max's response when asked if he was sad Mercedes were off-pace. I will like to add that a reserve driver who was out for 2 years subbing in at the last minute and qualified ahead of the boss's son | ||

Oof. That's gotta burn. Hulk hasn't raced in like a year and a half, almost two years, did zero testing beyond his sim work, and still beat Stroll. That's brutal. | ||

Im more worried about McLaren though, their problems seem much bigger than those of Mercedes and there was no improvement from last weeks testing. | ||

Slow in the corners. It's still a rocket ship on the straights. The issue with the Merc isn't the engine, but that they gave themselves a handicap by completely changing their car between testing 1 and 2. Everyone had the same issues on testing 1, and then improved the concept of their car for testing 2, except for Mercedes who showed up with a completely different aero package, and then had to go through same issues in testing 2 as everyone else did in testing 1; still purposing and unpredictable. Give them a few weekends to catch up and they'll be right at the top with Ferrari and RB | ||

It could also be simply that the Ferrari and Honda power units are better than in the past. Binotto did say that Ferrari has likely closed the 25HP gap Ferrari had to Mercedes and Honda last year. All 3 Ferrari-powered teams made Q3 as did the Honda teams and Alpine. | ||
