"Hmm, no improvement on his first lap and the Pole aborted his second. Still 1 hour and 15 minutes left in today's session."
Didn't do better than his Super Soft run.
Which makes sense, the track is a billion degrees and likely the Ultra Sorts melted before he reached the end of the lap.
Edit: Both McLaren cars also finished the race in Hungary, in the points!
I mean I know they'll be near last and will break in Spa, but this is progress!
Lando Norris is the best name ever, ever. Give him a drive in F1 just because of that name.
It did, but it still broke down earlier today.
And they had pace all weekend, so there's no surprise there.
Wish my dad was a billionaire, sheesh.
Yep, Norris has good potential. A few mistakes like his crash at Pau though, otherwise he'd be leading the championship (I don't rate Gunther very highly).

If Lando Norris wins the F3 championship, he would end the 5 year streak of Prema Powerteam drivers winning the championship, 6 years if you include the former F3 Euroseries. That in itself would be an amazing achievement.
I hope at some point he expects to get the #1 driver status, but is disappointed to only get #2, at which point his team principal says "I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further."
Really positive day for Robert, I'm incredlibly happy for him and I can't wait for more.Lando was also very good, I see a bright future for him.
Oh, and mandatory Palmer pic
Hey, is that Bath stone?
I can't see a bright future for a McLaren junior while McLaren is in this state.

End of day two
The best thing about this: Kubica did 142 laps. He can do a race distance. I think Palmer is gone. They'll pay him for the rest of his contract to put Kubica in.
Wasn't he using Ultrasofts? Still pretty good for a rookie though.

No need for McLaren to bow down to Alonso's Renault demands now. In Lando and Honda we Trust.
Vandoorne 😂
He managed to go twice a normal race distance and show no signs of impairment to his arm, which was the real acid test today and he passed with flying colours. I really do believe now that Renault will put him into a race seat after today. He's shown he can take the physical pressures of this year's car and not be troubled by it, but also post consistent lap times again and again. It's really just a matter of time now, if not this season definitely 2018.
Whoa, how did I miss this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-5OsKPdBOQ
But, was she faster than Palmer?
I'm guessing that screenshot is about 10 times larger than your mobile phone
Didn't notice because of autoscaling :v

If I'm not mistaken, his best time on Super Softs was 0.15 secs off Alonso's qualifying time.

Can someone give me the specifics in regards to Kubica's limitation due to his arm injury? I mean what kind of motion limitation does he have?
Also, I know this is a grim question, but nevertheless an important one, is his body able to withstand a potential race crash? I am talking mainly about his injured arm. Surely teams are looking into all these things, but it doesnt hurt to ask here as well.

Please no.
The Torro Roso is honestly one of my favourite looking F1 cars of all time. I absolutely love it.

This is so true. He is doing a great job on Formula 3. If it was not for the horrible starts the odds for him to become the champion would be higher.

I mean we might as well scrap F1 if that happens.

Why would redbull change it to a kfc livery. Just random website speculation.
Switch Kubica and Vettel around.
Author dislike drivers from certain Scandinavian country
Yeah "Vettel underrated" was my first reaction.
Saw this on a BBC article about Kubica's test. What do we think about these assessments?
I mean, the list of drivers are okay, but putting Vettel so far behind is really a bit dumb. Guy won 4 WDC's, is in the running to beat Lewis again this year and is brilliant on track.
If Mercedes didn't have their Qualy engine-mode I'd doubt we'd see the battle as close as it is this season. I also think it's undervaluing RIC and VER based on this season and the car/engine they've been dealt.
Assuming it's based on general talent rather than current performance, Vettel should be much nearer Nando.
Sauber then?
Verstappen has one win. Let's see him fight for some championships before comparing him with all time greats.
