it was noticable from thursday. just no results then so it is not early and imho not temp related. also as i understand they have fixed balance for low speed which gives them needed time on s2.

The drivebility of that Honda pu is paying dividend, in qualifying they can use that quali mode to put the Renault powered cars to bed.

Hartley was quicker than Gasly in all three Free Practice session.Really disappointed he didnt make good lap in the Qualifying.
Its good for gasly to make Q3 but he could do better too.The car is good in monaco.

Gasmobile in 7th not too bad. He defended extremely well with much older tyres 8) Hartley on the other hand, even if he was not running in points, saying he's unlucky is an understatement :lol:

If only Pierre has qualified P6, podium was on cards and although a stretch, even a win. Could not believe they ran so long on the hypersoft. Ultra proving to be a bane of a tyre, luckily on hypers and SS the car is really good

No one driving full speed, so impossible to say anything about the relative speed of TR.

If Hartley didn't have bad luck, he wouldn't have any luck at all... It can't continue like this, his luck will change. But on the average, he had a decent weekend, but not when it counted the most. But his general performance around the streets of Monaco was very encouraging.
