The vibration thing is a bit concerning for reliability and driver comfort for race distance. Hopefully the new PU improves that.

Ted Kravitz reporting on Sky that Newey was in the garage looking at Lance's car and Lawrence also had showed up there. :wtf:
Not sure this is the same kind of vibration as before. I don't think this is painfull for the drivers. It's only happening in 7th gear. You can actually hear it kind of sputtering. They never use 8th gear.

Cause that's the rule in FP. They do stop the clocks in Quali.

Does anyone know Alonso's sector times before Alpine screw up his final attempt?
Looked good from onboard.

If you combine his best sectors you'll get 1:21.236.

The vibrations seem to have disappeared with the long runs.

They have alot of data to look at tonight. See how much better they can make the car for tomorrow.

I think he was in the outlap, he just didn't even start his fast lap.

Sector 2 with no straights looks OK, ahead of Cadillac, Alpine and Williams. Sector 1 and 3 is compromised by the PU. I think the updates look promising so far. They might have been taking it easy in FP2 due to lack of spare parts as well.

They actually got 2x less data plus many red flags

One interesting detail: last lap in the long run simulation, Kimi and Alo with softs 12 and 13 laps old, kimi was around 0.6s faster.

Like at the beginning of the season, fuel in the car acts as a damper to lessen the vibrations. I wonder if either driver will be able to finish the race.
