Sainz was on new softs.

Q2 looked good, confident. Not sure what changed to Q1.

In P3 we had a 1.14.7. Can we replicate that again?

It's quite incredible how Verstappen maximizes his lap, that last corner was done just perfectly, probably why he is P1 right now.

Red Bull fast. Not a shock.

It was never a shock. In one lap pace both Mclaren and Red Bull are equal cars. Max wouldn't be able to replicate those times if the car wasn't good.

Lando is doing everything in his power to prove everything said about him last year right :lol:

It's getting ridiculous honestly. Both laps in Q3 were horrible ...

Good job to the team. Good job Piastri!

Finally one of these close ones goes to our side. Lando needs to clear Russell and then pressure Verstappen for a 1-2.

Lando and Max scruffy. Oscar does just enough. Performing so well.

No, Max got the laptime out of his car. Lando couldn't do it in either of his 2 tries in Q3. Just a mess. Never in a million years would I predict Lando to be manhandled like this by Oscar after the performances he had last year.

Good news is we have a Mclaren on pole without any upgrades yet.
