Renault was busy fitting new parts delivered overnight I believe.

Nice image showing the similarities between Merc and TR:

Apparently Williams are done for the day as Stroll's crash at T9 needs spares from the factory.

Not sure if joke...

Kimi quickest overall now on Soft's 1:20.960.

Yeah full race sim on 2nd day shows just how far ahead Merc are, but at least Ferrari look promising so far.

I heard McLaren hope to get back on track within 30 mins.

Bottas got out of shape during his race sim and clipped the wall:

Nice shots :cool:

Bottas just did a 1:20.107 on Soft's. We'll see 1:19 soon enough.

Stroll in the kitty litter again, seems he's not fully comfortable with the Williams yet.

Day 3 Times:

Hamilton onboard during race sim today.

Seems a little understeery as Merc aren't doing proper setup work until next week.
