Incredibly tight in the top 3 after the first run in Q3.
Both of them (Lando, Oscar) made mistake
Yep, there should be more in the car than this. Though it seems it might be difficult to extract.

Such small margins. A shame we couldn't get pole but let's see how Verstappen does from pole tomorrow.

No. 2 and 4 today. Onwards to tomorrow. Hopefully Norris can divebomb.

Lando screwed himself on the last corner by being greedy.

We have massive margin, just watch the onboards and minisectors

Severe underperformance by both drivers again. Lando messed up the last corner two different ways, and Oscar couldn't put it together at all in Q3.

It's not greed, he was overly cautious because he locked up before and the car bit too much when he broke earlier. He didn't meant to put it on the kerb. Just goes to show how little confidence there is that he willingly doesn't drive the car to the limit at certain place.s

Last corner has nothing on whatever happened in sector 1, he lost .164s though of course it doesn't help.

The Red Bull is fast, we could have got it though. But, when it's so close, it can swing either way.

Seems that our drivers could not repeat that Q2 time. I'm not sure if it's underperformance or the car choosing when to be fast. These upgrades are needed to make the car more drivable and unlock more of that performance.
