New power units for Ferraris, Russell
Confirmation from the FIA of which drivers have taken new power units for this weekend.
Ferrari duo Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, Mercedes' George Russell, Alpine's Esteban Ocon, Alfa Romeo's Valtteri Bottas and both AlphaTauris make up the list.
It's the fourth and final engine from each of their allocations for the campaign.
So no penalties?
Ideally, you want nine sets of tyres going into Practice Three tomorrow, so it means you can use just one set of tyres in each Practice session on a Friday with the Alternative Tyre Allocation, where 11 sets are given, rather than 13, for the weekend.
Yuki Tsunoda has used two sets of softs though, while Lando Norris just did an installation lap on the mediums, everybody else just used one set of hards

I dont think so.
Only if you get to PU5 and onwards
And in the end not only did he top FP1 with it, he also did it on the hard compound. So far the mythical Monza curse seems to be a dud
Perez again....
Surely the heat must be turned right up under him at this point?
Who do we think they'd replace him with if they bin him off?

Is there any sand left on the nearest beach?
That phenomenon is particularly bizarre I must say
Suspect the Ferrari’s will do well in quali. But their tyre wear may bring others back to them in the race. Expect RB to win in the end. Williams to perform above par. And Merc/Aston/McLaren to struggle to varying degrees.
Maybe I misunderstood in FP2, but didn't Ferrari seem to have tyre wear under control? Because both drivers had better lap times in their second fast lap on the softs?
Here's an idea. If Liberty really want to shake up what is already a perfect weekend.
For the races with those sprint races that are bogus, instead remove practice sessions and give teams a single 2 hour session to set the fastest lap. Entertaining as no practice, so teams would have to fit a bit of practice around the weather, track conditions, and other cars.

Talking about race pace tyre wear.
I know, my point was that while everyone else had their fastest lap on the first lap on fresh tyres, Ferrari had it on their second lap. Needing an extra lap to get them to the sweet spot. Would this not be an indicator of lower degradation? I am asking because I have no idea.
Max is fast in FP3 but nothing between Perez and Hamilton .5 behind
Perez out of FP3 no idea what’s wrong yet
Sainz is flying at the end of FP3
No it just means that perhaps it takes them a bit longer to get the tyres to optimum temperature. And may have just meant that they didn’t push as hard on the first.
There is a leak from the power unit
Fantasy League is going on to be a hard pick.
yes, what the hell are we supposed to do with Perez
Why? Leclerc has always overachieved in qualifying. Has one of the best 1 lap performances.
Put him 3rdyes, what the hell are we supposed to do with Perez
Pole and winner are easy, it’s the rest that hard.
yes, what the hell are we supposed to do with Perez
I'm really struggling with him, I've put him 2nd but not sure whether to demote him knowing if I do he'll spite me and finish there (while stealing fast lap)
Ok I've demoted Perez a place
Ferrari better not feck up in the race
Ferrari better not feck up in the race
I did that.Put him 3rd
Alonso I think will be 4th or 5th with Hamilton.
Leclerc 4th
Have they put in any mitigations for qually or will it be the usual farce of cars going at tortorse pace looking for space for their run while people on flying laps narrowly avoid smashing into them.
Gonna call it now, one of the mercedes wont make it into Q3. They have pretty poor in getting the cars out at the right time for qually recently.

The FIA just obliged me.
Minimum lap time of 1:41, for any lap in qually.

What, you don't like this?
Plenty of laps being deleted, track limits
They won't do anything until someone doing 300km/h goes through someone doing 100km/h in the same spot and kill eachother.
I am not sure I understand turn7 limits today, basically everyone is going over the line and only few laps are deleted? Is it asphalt that is track limit, white line outside or kerb that is the track limit?
