The track is good for the car. Hopefully we will see a wet FP2 and FP3 that others can't fine-tune the car, as the AMR seems to be already in the right window.

Aston look to have picked up where they left off. Alonso especially is rapid.
We need to wait for another track to see how good that car is. Specially monza, AMR25 is not good with low downforce configuration, monza will show us the real AMR25 potencial and how far the upgrades changed the car.

Awesome pace in FP1. P3 and P4. And it might rain a bit most of the rest of the weekend, and both drivers are good in the wet or mixed conditions.

I saw on the tracker that STR had a lot of traffic in his first flyer (same time as ALO did his lap), I guess he would have been already much quicker in that run. Pace seems real, as both drivers are fast. 2nd run of STR with a lot of track evolution but also used softs.

Apparently stroll is running imola spec
Alonso is running Silverstone
I’m guessing it’s regarding the floor. But didn’t catch FP1 personally

STR is definitely Imola spec. No idea about ALO, saw no pic from the side.

Aaaand Stroll binned it in the banked corner... That will take some serious repairs. Hope the hand is ok...

Holy smokes! Alonso what a lap! Into the 1:09s Norris only one only 0.087 faster than Alonso. Alonso split the McLaren’s! Incredible

Alonso had a 1:10.633 in Q3 last year, but one step softer tires now, so that time is on what is the yellow tire now. Leclerc almost 8 tenths off Alonso now in FP2 so far. Piastri behind Alonso. We are cooking here, boys.

I love Zandvoort not only because Alonso is a beast around here, but I love the banked turn 3 and technical middle sector. It is such a unique track.

Same it’s such a good track made even better that Alonso is a beast around it.

Lance getting asked if he thinks they can fight for the first two rows in qualy by Sky, answered "It certainly looks that way, let's see what we can do tomorrow" and a little eye wink.

Fortunately it happened in FP2 and not FP3.
