So RB added a 4th air inlet on the side of the car. This time it's situated pretty much at the base of the halo, so a little bit more on the outside of the air inlets at the beginning of the bazooka's.
I assume that the lower horizontal sidepod air inlet is also still there.
And a slightly smaller brake duct at the front. And maybe a slightly differently styled sidepod? hard to see.

Sargeant crashes his car in a tyrewall in P1.
The choice to give him the patched up chassis was the right one it seems.
Red Flag. However, damage seems repairable.

Too much on the curb, too much on the grass...

LH gushing over Vettel as his replacement.

Why would Toto pick Vettel over Sainz, Albon, or ALO performance wise? He won't.

LH wants him over there because he knows Vettel is way past his prime.

His steering seemed to be still working so may get away with it.

Too wet for slicks and too dry for inters! So not a great many on the track as FP2 comes to an end with PIA putting in a brave lap on softs to go quickest as MAX sits this one out in the box nabbing FP1 earlier on.

Indeed when I heard the mechanical rattle for a milli second it sounded like timing gearing failure.

Weather forecast Suzuka: no rain during the qualies and the race.

No need for intermediates or full wets.

I don't think so.
Mercedes woe continues as Hamilton suffers hardware failure
Mercedes' early-season struggles continued on Friday at the Japanese Grand Prix as team principal Toto Wolff alluded to Lewis Hamilton losing one of his four allotted engines, meaning the seven-time world champion could face grid penalties later in the season.
"That one is for the bin," Wolff told a press conference between the first practice sessions at Suzuka circuit.
"It is a very highly unusual failure that we have a hardware failure that we didn't see coming before. So yeah, we can't reuse that. And it depends how the season develops, whether we need one more or not. I can't really say at this stage."
https://www.espn.com/f1/story/_/id/3...-failure-japan

I'm betting the anxiety level in the Mercedes garage is considerably higher on that news.

Ferrari has shit one lap pace, but great race trim (1:35.5-1:35.8) MEDs

Red bull great one lap pace, but not so good race trim (1:36.5-1:36.8) MEDs

Aston Martin eh lap pace, but great race trim on hard (1:35-1:35.5) upgrades are working.


Very weird timeline, don't know fuel loads, but Max doesn't look as dominate as last year surprisingly. Probably still getting used to the upgrades.

Plus both RBR cars has issues with mirrors vibrating.

Tomorrow the race at 7am on sundaymorning....I have to man up

Ok, it's still the start of Q1, lots of things can/will happen, but it looks like Max is already flying
