Can't get tyre temps. Their car seems to struggle to heat/maintain temp in the tyres. This drops the ride height as the pressure drops and makes their purpoising issues worse.

It probably explains why their race pace isn't as bad as their qualifying if their tyres get up to temperature after a few laps.

Yep + the extra fuel helps generate more friction etc. They also aren't bad on tyre usage in race pace so their weakness doesn't show as much.

In qualy trim though it's a bit of a dog.

He's definitely not shite but clearly the pressure has got to him this year so far. He can't keep making these costly mistakes.

Yeah, but he is not quite cut out for the top by the looks of it.

Not quite unlucky, they all knew the rain was coming and their first lap was shite.
 
Norris looking to be far more comfortable than Sainz so far at the top end of the field.

Norris nearly wrecked his chances of taking part in q3, surprised he and Vettel went out again, unless they're seeing if full wets or intermediate needed?

Nah, they were just testing the weather and the track I think.
