Might be checking the data on the new updates, deciding on set up, and next bits of the program. Though they did have trouble keeping the tyres working for more than a lap according to Vettel, so perhaps that's something they are looking at addressing?
They went back to the old wing on Seb's car (didn't see what Charles was using on his last run) could they revert to old spec, hence longish time in garage?
Seb has been using the new one with the old floor, now he changed to the old FW again.

So, I just read this tweet by Mark Hughes, which admittedly doesn't say much, but, might hint at Ferrari having a first bit of a real fix to be competitive (though admittedly I first thought it referred to their lunchtime activities of the protest, as do evidently many of the people responding - a clever teaser then):

So, maybe sector 3 Mercedes will be 0.4 ahead of Red Bull, but perhaps no longer Ferrari?
"...and then a Leprechaun show up. Moreover just as the excitement started to dim down, big foot, three faries, Gandalf himself and bunch of Unicorns show up just like that, and then..."

If there is one guy that is more wrong than right, defying even the laws of statistics, his name would be Mark Hughes.

Norris is doing such an exceptional job right now. What I find strange is how good the hard tires are performing. All of the drivers who used that compound are pretty high up in the field.

I really hope Ferrari have a strange and very different program because otherwise neither the times, nor the car, look great here.

I predict; reprimand and two license points.

I think Merc have overwhelming evidence that it wasn't Ham his fault.

Why so lenient? I say one championship title demerit and starting from the back of the grid for the remainder or the season.

I would guess Mercedes will ask Ferrari how overwhelming that evidence was, and whether it worked, then ask to borrow, in good sporting spirit (in trade for a hint of how these tyres work?).

Going by previous practice sessions this would normally be no further action, but given the whole crying controversy maybe a reprimand. Now looking at the qualifying times and race sims Mercedes have a crazy level of dominance here and they can qualify on the mediums easy.

The pit entry seems to be very bumpy, no?
