The key now is to stay ahead of the Larens and starve them of free air

Yes that's right . It's race 3 , but your boy LEW won't change in this season (actually never)!

Prior to the race, Sainz encountered "discomfort due to a stomach issue":

And get the Papaya cars out of the clean air and put them in the dirty air to chew through their tyres..
That's possible . Just like today .
But for that ...We need the pole pos. just like today .
That won't be easy...But It's possible .

And to also ensure that Jo Bauer checks the rear wing.

The Larens can try all they like possibly to no avail from now, as Stella said a 4 times world champion is another kettle of fish. The two of them evenly matched and fighting will hold them back if MAX is leading and controlling the race and as RBR have now found this sweet spot out of the hundreds tried it can only get better..

[fs1977]

Not so sure if the sweet spot is found. For this circuit, yes, but the conditions were in RB's favour, especially the low temperatures and the fact that overtaking is difficult. Next week in Bahrein it will be completely different.

The Suzuka qualifying ..

MAX Verstappen => 1:26.983 (pole)
Lando Norris => 1:26.995 (P2)

MAX Verstappen won the pole pos. with a gap of 0.012 sec.

But what does it mean to have a 0.012 sec. gap at the finish line ?
A 0.012 sec. gap is a translation of 83 centimeters at the finish line .

83 centimeters = 32.67 inches = 2.73 feet

Exactly . Lando is a reckless , messy driver .
And the McLaren strategy looks like a #FerrariThings twin ...

BTW : I like Lando and Charlie

83 centimeters = 32.67 inches = 2.73 feet

A typical blink ('batting an eye') takes about 100 to 400 milliseconds (0.1 to 0.4 seconds).

What about 0.000s (P1+P2+P3) and 0.058s (P4) ?

F1 1997 European GP qualification (Jerez - Spain) - Oct 26, 1997.
(Leclerc and Verstappen were babies of 11 and 27 days back then).

Identical lap times = start grid for those drivers is determined chronologically (rationale: advantage the later the time is set, because of improved grip due to more rubber on track).

Statistically, the probability of what happened during the 1997 Jerez qualification is claimed to be 0.0004564, 0.046%, or a 1 in 2191 chance (see here).
