    This one certainly has changed over the years. A horrible race in the past with no chance to pass has become a flowing track with a bit of overtaking in one place.

    As a result I think maccas should win but will.bottle.it again.

    Go aggressive.and set the tone imo make red bull react.

    The RBR has been upgraded and Max was 2nd fastest on used tyres.

    I think I read that Max said the upgrades brought to this race would be very significant . Or something like that .

    Seems like a very mixed up 2nd practice, any idea what happened?

    Charles brought out the red flags after crashing,, but Lando Norris went fastest of anybody.

    I think we just underestimate the mental resilience required to be a good number 2.

    Perez would be solid driver for a lower midfield team, but he can't cope with losing every weekend and being in a team that isn't focused on him

    Red flag, but at least they did it quickly enough so they can get another quali lap in.
    If they have the tyres.

    1-2 on a track that's near impossible to overtake. It'll take some award winning incompetence for McLaren to **** this up.

    Or an unfortunate SC, which isn't unheard of at a track where Ocon won.

    I’d hope so from the perspective of the Macca fan I am, but Max may have the tyre advantage tomorrow if it’s hot and he was on another planet last season in the race here.

    Would do McLaren the world of good to bag another win.

    McLaren having to change out Lando's front dampers on the grid. Hopefully it's exactly the same, but ffs, lol.

    How can Max leave the track, gain a position over Lando and not have to hand it back?
