    They have added a second DRS ,to assist more over takes.
    The only bet I have is Vettel just making Q3 this weekend (only just ).

    I don't believe or couldn't find any info of Team upgrades been made this weekend. would like to be corrected/updated on that

    I haven't watched it yet, but has he ever raced at Portimao?

    I love the little details from tracks he was at himself like Monza where the details are so good to hear

    Lot of drivers struggling here , Vettel , Alonso , Ricciardo . even Hamilton even though he is at the top end never really got a lap together . Only Bottas and Verstappen have looked comfortable here .

    As for Mazepin , probably best he slowed down and learn the car might limiting the spinning incidents .

    and no I don't believe he spun

    George Russell I suppose had the stand out lap , decent time in the Williams .

    I like the circuit on PCars2, I've to go back to drive it after watching the video above. I recognized some of the difficult parts all right.

    Is qualifying on at 2pm or 3pm?

    Very interested to see if Alpine can keep up practice standards.

    Looks like the second hot laps for Q3 were affected by the wind.

    Did the wind come in, or something? Practically no one improved on their first lap.

    Not really. The wind made handling difficult for everyone in the last few minutes of Q3 hope it stays windy tomorrow.

    BBC saying mercedes used mediums in Q3 last year as they found them easier to get them into the right heat window. So the mediums in the heat window was faster than the soft outside the window.

    Delighted for Sebastien Vettel to finally make it back into Q3. Here is hoping he has a good race. Well done to George Russel he almost made it into Q3 very little in it.
    Daniel Riccardo not having a good day. He should have stayed at Alpine he could be 4th or maybe even higher.
    Well done to Bottas.

    Hoping for a good race tomorrow and to seen Max winning it.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    What's happening with Ricciardo at all? I rate Norris highly but Sainz was right there with him last season and I got the impression the McLaren is more drivable than most.

    Strange with DR alright, the lap review with Karun afterwards showed the only real mess up was when he had a bit of a lockup. Wonder was there something going on with engine management or something that limited the car??

    Have ricciardo first two drives been relatively good though? A P7 and P6 are hardly poor for his first two dirves in a new car. Norris is obviously flying in his 3rd year in the car but I wouldn't be writing off Danny ric yet, granted today was a real disaster.

    He did a quick interview on sky on Friday but I was distracted at the time so didn't catch the whole thing but he has been spending tonnes of time on the simulator as he has to change some part of his style and himself and McClaren were joking that he's a rookie again. Both zack brown and andreas seidal both told him to relax and take his time as he's a quality driver and it will eventually come to him.
