    Gone for Oscar,could have won at Silverstone.Hopefully he will behave behind the safety car if it`s called out.
    He`s going to be so determind to win after being hard done by the stewards.

    Interesting - and unexpected- to see the “fixed Ferrari” doesn’t look an any better in FP1.

    Piastri really on it this weekend, a consistent half second on your team mate is a real rarity (unless you’re Verstappen!)

    I was thinking McLaren will take a bit of wing off. On reflection though, with rain a possibility tomorrow and with pit stops giving them the chance to use their pace, maybe it does make sense to stick with their setup?

    Yep, hats off to Norris, he’s eliminated that deficit overnight and they’ve looked really closely matched today.

    You’d expect the RedBull to be strong here, and it has been, but the McLaren looks 1-2 tenths better and given this wouldn’t appear to be a Ferrari circuit it’s good for them and their upgrades to be in the same ballpark as the leading cars. Hungary will be a good chance for a Ferrari win I think.
