Charlie's Ferrari is for 75% totaled (!)
There was a difference between FP1 and FP2 for MAX with him saying the brakes didn't bite when 'colder' so are they trying out something to cool the brakes being that this circuit is a brake killer.

What's happening with Yuki, saying he's not where he wants to be and his target here is to aim for Q3 in quali which may be a bit optimistic showing current performance but Horner will give him more leeway to improve, he currently has 10 points.

They're off and both RB's as most of the others are in their garages with the scorching sun beating down. At the mo Colapinto who needs a bit of luck is leading the times...with that said Charlie comes out with his mostly rebuilt car that he strangely wrecked in FP1 and has a lot of catching up to do.

With MAX the measurement gaps are in milli mm's
Cars hitting that famous wall including PIA who wallops it good as MAX continues to remain in the garage watching and waiting
Red flag from PIA's debris.

Both Piastri, Hulkenberg and Bearman all clipped the "Wall of Champions" during FP3. Piastri's car needed a fix.

Yuki lacked feel in his brakes also but they were worse with mechanics adjusting them.

A brake fluid flush and new pads on MAX's car may make it better.
