Hamilton is going to have another one coming I bet. Something weird with the Mercedes PUs recently. Vettel and Russell are taking grid drops too but I’m not sure which component and number.

They must feel real confident in their speed. I mean it's kind of showing but still.

Yep, he’s doing a demo run in the ‘84 Monte Carlo this weekend.

Nah. There's not going to be any smack this weekend, no way.

Yeah, they each overtook each other in the queue that lap, probably still would’ve done so if the order was reversed at the start.

Awesome! Looks really nice to walk around and get a glimpse from different corners.

Yeah I think my favortie turns and sections were 10/11 and the S’s. Was very cool to watch them push it through the S’s and step on it coming out of 11.
Can’t wait to get back out there tomorrow

Max had a bit of a tough time. Even had a self imposed timeout. Wierd how he just imploded in the second practice.
After not being able to put down a fast lap he just said he'd quit and be back in 5 minutes and wasn't shown until the last few minutes on track.

Too much traffic. Perez managed to get a soft lap in at least.
Hard to say what’s going to happen though. Between that, Hamilton saying they missed the setup in FP2, excessive tire wear, not sure you can gain much from looking at single lap times.
MotoGP guys weren’t kidding either, this track seems way more bumpy than a couple of years ago.

Since I am more of a Monaco/Baku style track fan, Cota just never did it for me.
However , being there live I am sure is just crazy cool.
Pulling for McLaren this weekend.

Track limits in turn 9 will be crucial during quali today.

Strange P3. Race control spent the entire session deleting lap times.
This meddling has to stop at least for practices.
I'll have to wait until the replay late tomorrow night. DISH is having a fee dispute with the owner of the local ABC station -- it's been taken off the air. TEGNA is asking for a tremendous amount of money for carriage fees.

Okay, I'm ignorant. Why would they delete practice lap times?

Track limits.
IMO, track limit penalties are trash. These guys get paid to find the fastest way around the track and it's not their fault that runoff areas are paved.

Okay, I'm ignorant. What are track limits? Out of bounds?

Perez and Ricciardo laps have been deleted.
I really don't care for this micro-managing, but rules are in place.

Put the grass back in. If they drive off the track and crash, tough cookies.

Good attempt by Lewis.
However, Red Bull just nails sector 3. The Red Bull just has that little bit more of grip.
This race is going to be crazy tomorrow.

No, but the first one since 2013.

Okay, I'm ignorant. Is there some significance to having practice laps deleted? They're just practice laps, right?

It's really only important in qualifying. And if they do it too often in the race they'll get a 5-second-penalty.
