I understand. Q1 ended. Mclaren is missing half a second.
Half a second?

So do we need to focus on the first fast sector?

I meant to say half a tenth but if you think of it we got to do a 1.10.9 to have a sure pole.

A shame Piastri aborted his first lap, it would be great to have a decent banker.

Not sure why does the team stream say Oscar is in P3?

Oscar was on a top lap when Russell DNFed.

Can both drivers do a 1.10.7 to 1.10.8 in Q3? It will be an 1-2 if they manage that.

I saw that as well, very odd. They even gave him a time, 1.11.308
Q: (Stefano Mancini – La Stampa) Kimi, will you help Vettel to win his championship this year?

I think we need a time of 1.10.3 to get the 1-2 from both drivers. Both Ferraris and Max will find some more time.

Piastri drifting the MCL39, great to watch, but not great for his lap time.

I think he was on for P1 or very close P2 until that corner, bodes well for Q3.

I don't think it might be enough. We need a 1.10.3.
