[SchuMassa]

Horrid pace, just unacceptable.

Something happened with the track. It got faster all of a sudden . .

It was the same for everyone.
Time to face the facts - our updates are not working. Time to fire Krack finally.

[FNTC]

Bad luck with track conditions there. Track came alive at the end. Even Piastri almost got knocked out.

We were 20 seconds up on the road relative to most drivers, not more.

[MichaelxScarn]

We're not 5 tenths off Gasly tho.

[SSJ4]

so confusing. alonso basically matched his sq1 time. whereas other teams improved by several tenths compared to sq1

[Rikrikrik]

Could be Aston saved Soft tyres for tomorrow? Its so strange, everyone else improve 1s on SQ2 and Aston were worse

Unintentionally, yeah.

Regardless of the slight understeery mistake from Alonso, the S2 pace was never going to cut it given we didn't have a big enough advantage in S1/S3. Wonder if they change setups to give more downforce for S2 as we lost around 6 tenths there alone

Our low downforce setup really didn't work for S2, lost so much time to all other teams

In the Alonso interview he said they basically go 100% in all the sessions while other teams are building pace(holding back pace).

[SSJ4]

alonso saying the new front wing gave them more downforce and he used it for the sprint qualy. we will see if they use it tomorrow

Sector 2 is a Floor DF test, the less DF you're floor generates the slower you'll be in that sector. You can take off wing to make you faster in S1 and S3 but always to the detriment of S2.
