When you know it's too soon to get your hopes up and it will be dashed tomorrow but that Merc pace looks

:wow::ohlawd::whoo::lupe:

Knowing full well that on Saturday it will be

Gotta celebrate what you can. I don't think Max or the Ferraris are on full power.

nah, that's not how Max operates, and the car isn't doing what he wants right now.

You right. I think Ferrari is the ones are the sneaky quickest. McLaren just said they don't even think they've turned their engines all the way up.

The good part for Lewis is they made sure in interviews to throw this car designs on his head, especially in that George interview, and it seems like he was right. That car is turning in easy as hell in that car.

doesn't seem like Merc are at full power either.... but they are mighty in sector 3
One thing that tended to go unmentioned about the previous two years cars is that they couldn't run the engines at high modes because the chassis wasn't compliant enough at speed. I think I mentioned them having to lift part way down the straights. I think FP2 is too early to turn it up, so we might be seeing Mercedes running the engines where they expect, with more to come tomorrow.

Looking at the long runs, Max should win this pretty easily. Everyone else iin the pack behind is fairly equal.

Saw the horner images. That man is smart, you could see he was test8ng the waters but he wasn't implicating himself.

That is between him and his wife to figure out

Not fighting it like last year. Hitting apexes consistently. And this was with it being a particularly gusty day.
