It looks like cooling could be an issue if the temperatures keep up to the weekend but you never know. It could change.

I'm hoping to see Alonso and Estaban Ocon do well here in the Alpines.

Have Ferrari sorted their reliability problems out or will there be more? The same with Red Bull

Will Mercedes or McLaren do better and get good results here?

Can Aston Martin continue to improve and can Haas also keep improving after the great results they got in Silverstone and Austria?

Also, Sainz is taking a grid penalty (10 places I think ) for Control Electronics. Wouldn't surprise me if he starts at the back on Sunday and takes an engine as well



FP2 results, Perez seemed to struggle

Ferrari looking strong already this weekend. 10 grid penalty already for Sainz on Sunday due to a third control electronics component fitted, depending on how qualifying goes Ferrari may elect to take a further hit with some other components.

They are strong in one lap but then the tire degradation is faster than Red Bull.

Their tyre deg was miles better in Austria.

Previously they ran a much higher downforce setup, but since they've put the lower downforce wing on the car it seems a lot better.

I think this has swung it back to Ferrari which seems the better race car.

Solid pole from Leclerc. Norris outperforms in that McLaren again.

Could be a good race tomorrow - as much stick as the track gets I thought it was a highlight last year. Red Bull could have the edge on race pace but I still expect Leclerc to be there or thereabouts.
