Norris pit radio - And it's only Friday, 2 more races to go. We're in a good place.

Norris - Yeaah, I guess I'm happy. I don't think I could have done a lot more. Um. Hopefully we get a better position for the race tomorrow.

Apparently it counts as pole for the sprint and today’s session doesn’t? I’m so confused by this nonsense.

It's not pole position, it's pole position for the sprint race which isn't the 'sprint race' it's apparently being called 'sprint qualifying', and the person who wins that race gets pole position even though they're not the outright fastest car...

It's bovine excrement!

So basically pole seeing as no one will want to screw their car for the 2nd part of the race?

It’s like they start the race, then carry it on during Sunday?

It’s becoming very Americanised.

In theory, yeah. But as they're now in parc ferme it makes it a little tougher if they get damage. Damage a part on a kerb that's new and the only one you have? Can't replace like for like.... Back of the grid for you!

Also, what's the point of FP2 now? Can't change anything so why bother with it.... They're all in race trim and spec now, so they're not going to want to add miles to their race engines and gearboxes. Congratulation F1... you've just made an entire 1 hour session completely worthless.
 
The Sprint race is too risky for some to even bother doing anything, and others have nothing to lose by just sending one up the inside.

Bottas for example has little to lose by sending one on Max or Lewis for that matter. The top two, aren't going to want to risk getting into a dirty fight with him and potentially running wide and finishing 7, or tangling and finishing 17th.
 
The merc upgrades seem to be more substantial than they let on. Mercedes were fastest in the speed trap, so it seems they were able to take a good bit of wing off.
