RB frighteningly fast. Who knew?

Could do with rain, otherwise another borefest, and a Sunday drive for Max

It was suppose to be very sunny all day and now the sky is very dark in Montmelo…. Very different weather than Barcelona.

I am guessing the weather changes very fast due to the mountains near the track

According to Fergusson, official risk of rain is 60% tomorrow, 40% on Sunday



Weather.com lists both days with around 70% chance of rain

https://weather.com/en-CA/weather/hourb ... tailIndex4

The Spanish agency Aemet even has a 95% chance of (light) rain for tomorrow afternoon

Imo, the real interest (for non MV fans) is only on who will finish on the podium behind Max.

No way anyone can catch/ beat him unfortunately on this track

I don't believe weather.com a bit. So unreliable.

verstappen's fp1 lap 1:14.606. car looks loaded with fuel, very little corrections. campsa and T14 will be flat in qualifying.

Perez with his usual few km/h advantage over max. Anyone know if the Sainz speed is a huge outlier even within his own data?

341 km/h feels like spa/Baku top speeds

I’d have to imagine they went all in power wise for Carlos on a straight for data collection, but it does seem like a measurement error.

Aston's pace seems unusually slow.

I think it’s still hard to say. You figure 3 PU’s for 20 races, and so they baby them as much as they have to. Might see them turn up a little in FP2 for qualy sims.
