Looking at the Red Bulls on the medium tyre I wonder if they`ll split the drivers one on soft and one on medium for their 2nd run?



Edit; they did put them on softs but both got in on mediums

It is pretty incredible that the distance between the fastest and slowest cars over a lap is just 2.201 seconds. Yet and also, that that tiny difference means the cars are in a different league in the race itself.

The Sky crew jinxed it by constantly referring to Hammy's hundredth.

Everyone knows you have to keep schtum and let the Pole Position Fairy make her choice.
I have Lewis for the win tomorrow as well, todays bill will not be that big but tomorrows could be expensive (not in UK terms as a liter of beer here is only one UK pound and a meal is around 2.5 to 3 pounds, but I hate to have to pay, I´d rather gloat while someone else pays LOLOLOL ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) )
 
'That on-board radio was not meant for anyone'
Max Verstappen had to settle for third place in qualifying on Saturday afternoon. After the race, Red Bull Racing advisor Helmut Marko suggested that Lando Norris held up the Dutchman on purpose, but McLaren themselves deny this. The Red Bull driver was troubled by traffic during Q3 and Norris was told on the radio to 'not give away any advantages'. This surprised Marko, who in turn thought this was suspicious. McLaren team boss Andreas Seidl sees it differently. "It's normal that we don't want to give someone a tow on the straight," he says in conversation with ServusTV.

Indeed, it would put McLaren at a disadvantage, he says. "So that on-board radio was not meant against anybody. So accusations about that are nonsense," said Seidl, who is mainly focused on his own team. "We are driving here for ourselves, so we are doing absolutely no one any favours. We just want to finish as high as possible and not help anyone." Norris drove another excellent lap during qualifying, starting in seventh position. His teammate Daniel Ricciardo, who has struggled with his new car all season, finished P16.

Could second stint tyre make the difference?
I was just looking at some stats before the race (swat :rolleyes:) and it seems that Red Bull have no new sets of soft tyres left, while Mercedes appear to have no new sets of hard tyres left. So how long the mediums last in race mode could be very interesting, that will clearly decide what tyre each team will go for in the second stint as it for sure will be a one stop race barring red flags.
