I don't buy the dirty air excuse personally. He overcooked it in sector 1 and paid for it immediately with the somewhat clumsy turn 6-7 combo nearly putting it in the wall trying to get out of T7.
Hadjar being there was just an easy excuse.
Mercedes had the best race pace on Friday in the sims and deg looks low. I don't anticipate too much movement in the top 10 over the race without a SC intervention.
Leclerc had the best race pace in FP3 on C5.
I don’t think there’s much to read in FP’s, as everyone will find better balance come race day.
Alonso/Ant & to an extent Ham might be vulnerable in race pace. This gives a chance for Norris & Leclerc.
Not sure about tyre allocation. Russell/Max/Ant/Alonso completely used C5 I believe.
Piastri/Ham/Norris/Leclerc does have fresh set of C5
