The data largely resembled what the RB19 was doing. Not great quali car (even though Max still put it on like more than anyone including Lec) and a car that was great in the race. If that’s the case, which I’d love to see, then that will be a paradigm shift. Again, we have yet to see how this all plays out.

Exactly . MAX's long runs was the best you can get (!)

On the other hand :
MAX was 12 km/h faster than McLaren in the high speed turns , but McLaren was 0.2/0.3 sec. faster in the slow turns.

Air temp. => 30°C
Track temp. => 48°C

"None so blind as those who will not see."...Racing Bulls have designed and built one heck of a car that even a rookie can drive fast.

I was hoping Sainz would go through to Q2, sigh..

My first impression is that the new front wing directive didn't make a lot of change.
McLaren is still by far the fastest car.

[wizardofOz]

Great last lap from Hadjar...Getting 6th

[RichardInCA]

Hadjar is quietly becoming rookie of the year material

[GuidoK]

HAD deliveres again. Another Q3!
The year is still long, but I'm sure he's Max next teammate next year.
That said, that is the place where F1 drivers go to die....

The sky above the track looks very dark and menacing.

[GuidoK]

Max needs to get a better lap.

[wizardofOz]

Thats how to communicate between cockpit and driver...Cockpit of McLaren telling Oscar to be careful of Lando starting his fast lap behind Oscar...Lando getting a tug from Oscar with the slipstream heading to the back straight of the circuit

"Cheeky" was Oscar's response

Yeah . The McLaren is +/- 0.5 sec. faster . That's a sea of time ...

They look very well planted , and how they brake is not from this world .

[GuidoK]

Very strong lap from PIA
