@Carlossainz55 will start the #ItalianGP in P3 with @LandoNorris in P6. Nice one team! 👏🇮🇹

Awesome photo that illustrates just how 🤏 suspension travel is on an F1 car. High downforce means you prioritize ride height for aero (stiff stiff stiff!) instead of optimizing mechanical grip (like road cars).
Super stiff race car = good!
Super stiff road car = bad!

You see them every race weekend on TV, but how well do you actually know Lando's crew? 💭👊

Watch as @LandoNorris takes over the mic to interview some members of the team. 👀 #F170 #WeRaceAsOne

[Ben Petz @ben_petz]

How can it be, that a car which has illegal parts, is still allowed to attend a race weekend with these parts? 🤔

@F1lippos Unfortunately Next Year will be the same. At least we will get a new engine.

Very happy with P5 today! Put the lap in when it mattered. As you can see, I’m smiling... 😁

[Ben Petz @ben_petz]

@McLarenF1 Really well done from everyone in the Team. 💪🏻👍🏻👏🏻. Good luck for tomorrow ✊🏻 Cant watch it live but my thoughts are there.

"Starting the race tomorrow in P5 and P7 is an excellent return and puts us in a position to fight for good points." 🤝

@Richard_D80 Thanks mate!

[Ben Petz @ben_petz]

@MST_ChristianN @alex_wurz Jetzt mal im Ernst: Ich frage mich wie hat Mercedes über den Winter nochmal solch einen großen Schritt machen können. Selbst RB sehen aus wie Amateure. Das kann doch nicht sein wenn das auch kommendes Jahr durch den Freeze so weiter geht. Da gibts keine Kämpfe mehr an der Spitze.

[Ben Petz @ben_petz]

@Richard_D80 @blackpoolstig Yes. 😋 one reason more to visit the UK again. 😉 have a great GP weekend.
