Sounds like it was enough of an impact to damage the survival cell. So lots of work for the mechanics and no Friday running for Charles!
Interesting first day’s practice, I don’t remember the last time the McLaren’s didn’t look quick out of the box? Lots of teams seemed to be struggling with their setup, so probably we’ll see things a bit more normal today, but perhaps with Merc as the leading challenger rather than Max?
It's a lot cooler than anywhere else so far, so maybe they're just having problems getting the tyres up to temp, maybe something ot do with how they keep their tyre temps when it's been hot is having an adverse effect.
I wonder if they have a bit of a compromise between tyre temps and keeping brakes up to temp. Can't remember if Mercs like warm or cool temps, I think they like cooler track temps but I could be wrong.
No, you're right, I saw part of the presser yesterday and Antonelli was looking forwards to Canada because the cooler temp suited the merc.
