Was that lap with DRS on and maybe assisted with a little help of a tow or he just simulated a hammer time lap-in for a pit-stop?

It was a normal lap I checked, but he could be sending it.

True. There was no DRS used anywhere on that lap. It was probably just a push lap with having saved tyres by running to a delta.

Ferrari’s fastest laps were on used (already 1 previous hotlap) tires right? If so they are right there so far.

no, those were new. Ferrari (as the only team) used two sets of Softs, so they saved an additional set of Mediums.

Do you have the full list of what tyres each driver has left?

So they see a real danger that any of the sessions could be wet.

How come those extra intemediate tires were available? Does it mean they fly an extra set to each race, over the standard weekend allocation, just in case?!

yeah, but the way it is added now "before the start of Qualifying" is not really what it says in the rules:

"If neither P1 nor P2 are declared wet, but the likelihood of P3 being declared wet is deemed by the FIA to be high, one (1) additional set of intermediate tyres will be made available to all drivers. Under such circumstances, one (1) set of intermediate tyres must be electronically returned before the start of the qualifying session."

Thunder and lightening in the distance.

Hamilton: "driveability is still not great" - yet just put a 1:14 in (+0.408 behind max on a 13.664)

A conflict of interest?

Probably talking about the PU driveability

Haas in hot water FIA code of conduct breached 12.2.1C

It's due to Gunther complaining about the stewards (because he is unhappy about Hulk's penalty at Monaco).
