One car in Q3 would be good enough for me

I think that we'll be knocked in Q1 we dont have the pace this week end or maybe they had more fuel we'll see
Have some faith! 😋

Going to be a lottery to get into Q3 though. Monaco qually, always a highlight of the season.

Monaco is the one track that a driver makes more than difference than the car... Of course, a good car will give the driver more confidence, but a driver can make a big difference in lap time in Qualifying.

Made it pass Q1, let’s go for Q3!

I'd say Q3 seems possible. Norris at this has a bit of an edge on Carlos but both very close and about as fast if not faster than Toro Rosso.

Perfect we have 1 car in Q3 we're going to split the strategy seems good to score points

Carlos just sneaked ahead and got that Q3 place, but you can't help but feel that Norris is in a good place to go long and possibly jump some cars.
Definitely points to play for, this is a great turnaround since Barca and clearly they were able to improve the car in the slower corners.

Note sure they will have more pace in the race as there is plenty of time to get those front tyres warmed up in Quali, which is perhaps also why we are a bit better here.

They weren’t happy in FP3 at all with the balance. Looks like either a setup change did it or the slightly cooler track temp has worked wonders for us! Yay. I’d say that is a result for a street track

Fantastic effort to take 9th, I'm pleased with the performance in that car on this track.
