Who will take pole today? Why am I asking, we all know it’ll be Max ahahah. Still, the battle for P2 could be interesting, right!?

    Can’t believe how close PIA was. My opinion of him is really starting to flip this season.

      He needs to work on his race pace before I start to rate him highly, but he’s definitely getting to grips with this McLaren in qualifying.

    Is there a comprehensive overview on how tyre allocation works on sprint weekends compared to regular weekends? For instance, I’ve read on Wikipedia that drivers must use a new set of medium tyres in each of the first two Sprint Quali segments. So do they get more/different tyres as usual?

    An infographic about what tyre is available at what point (and which tyres have to be returned) would be nice.

      Section 30.5d of the Sporting Regulations:

      Normal weekend (13 dry, 4 inters, 3 wets):

      • 2x Hard
      • 3x Medium
      • 8x Soft

      Sprint weekend (12 dry, 4 inters, 3 wets):

      • 2x Hard
      • 4x Medium
      • 6x Soft

      They get additional inters if practice/qualifying sessions are declared wet and they use a set.

    I completely messed up today and thought SQ started now, which fortunately for me, it does! 😂
