Great lap from Lando. He's really coming of age. Not only is his one lap pace getting stronger but so is his race craft. So far this year he is more than a match for Carlos who at even a young age is a bit of a veteran.
Yep, he has quelled any doubts about himself.

Aaarrrgh. I don’t know why we didn’t go for mediums in first Q2 run. We had the pace to match stroll. Honestly, the team needs to stop playing it too safe. Hope we can mug stroll and Leclerc off the line and keep them behind till 1st pitstops.

Yeah, I know. But, at least the first runs merited mediums. If you aren’t quick enough, you can always go back for softs in the second run and improve. Calculated risk is all I’m asking for.

RP struggled into Q3, stroll is a tad lucky to make it through to be honest and it could have cost them.

Aside from that, right now I believe the Mclaren pit wall tends to make the right decisions and I have confidence in them, even when I don't understand their decisions. A far cry from the previous years.

Any idea’s when these ‘interesting new shapes’ will be on the car?

I’m think a new nose

I doubt it’s f-wing or bargeboards because they’ve been updated this week. Rear wings change from track to track and that leaves the floor or diffuser, or maybe break ducts, but I would have though they could have brought the break ducts to the car quicker than this

Yeah but McL will have the best of a Merc engine which will put them in front of RP and maybe even RBR

Rear diffuser the week after next - just tweaks to match the new front end. Manufacturing parts is lagging way behind the design team at the minute with the lockdown problems.

I don't know. How much time can a Mercedes Engine give us? Can we find perhaps a loophole to gain an aerodynamic advantage when James Key modifies the chassis for the new engine?
