@ln4norris It was pretty clear something was wrong when he ends sector 2 over two tenths up on Oscar, and finishes the lap a tenth behind. They were both 4 seconds behind another car as well.
@TrackSimsF1 Could you take a look at Oscar and Lando's first run in Q3. Lando was 2 tenths up end of sector 2 but lost 3 tenths in the final sector even though both cars had a car 4 seconds in front. Lando also hinted at a unfixable issue with his car after quali.
@McLarenF1 Think Lando might have a similar issue with the battery to what Oscar had in Spa. He was ahead after two sectors then lost 3 tenths in the final sector. Same happened in Spa, they were close after two sectors then Oscar randomly lost 2 tenths in the final sector.
@ln4norris P5 was more than I was expecting ๐ I know Oscar's ahead, but this is the first time he's out qualified Lando on merit for ages. It was bound to happen eventually
@F1BigData This is not sandbagging, they're just slow. Last year's McLaren (won both titles) was shite at Baku. McLaren were shite at Monza the other week. If they don't get a tow, they'll struggle to get top 5
@ln4norris I think the car is better in slow speed than is made out. A lot of improvement has been made in that area in the last few months, hopefully the upgrades this weekend improve it further
@ln4norris Lando was the 2nd best driver throughout the last regs, he's arguably been the best driver in the first year of these very different regs. The best adapt.
