After showers last night the track will be green again in FP3. Expect lots of graining. It's dry and a bit chilly right now. But more rain is expected this afternoon. Not sure whether it will arrive in time for qualifying.

A little more stabilised, but still a good mix.
Not good for Bottas that was it, will he make qualifying? If not and starts from the back, could be on for some big points in the FL should be make it back into the top 4.
Toto didnt seem all too happy with his post session brief chit chat with Ted, and that was before Ted asked about Bottas.
bring on an intriguing qually please Mexico!
My previous sig was obsolete, McLaren ain't disappointing Heshy no more.
Missed practise, I am guessing temps were cooler for FP3 or did Merc and Ferrari get their set ups together?

Both got a lot closer, was a wet/drying track & a lot cooler 30 deg lower! Max was still the man, Valtteri hydraulic failure came up on his steering wheel.

He hasn't had much luck this season. I hope Max makes some of his own history today. Surprised he hasn't got a pole yet to be honest. Certainly has the raw speed.

Yes we are hoping Max can do it, after the pace he has showed it looks nailed on. Valtteri #NoLuck

That was fun! Well done Valterri. Can't be good having technical problems so close to qualy. Boy did good in Q1.
