    Was that Alonso’s fault? That seemed like Ocon’s fault since there was snap of oversteer just before.

        Yeah, absolutely. I suppose you could argue that Fernando could’ve been even further to the right, but no, Esteban has to take the fall for that one, me thinks.

      If Ocon thinks the loss of control was because of the line he had to take because of Alonso’s position on the track, then, maybe? Seems like a bit of a stretch but Alonso could have been a little wider if he was on a slow lap but I mean nothing seems especially egregious to me

      Hehe, yeah. The lap really did look quite scruffy at points, with a cleaner lap he would’ve really beaten it out of the park, so to speak.

    Prost still the undefeated champion of Interlagos, with 6 wins. Surprised to see Lewis “only” has 3.

      They should have made the session 4 minutes. The first 4 were pointless now. Nobody wanted to go before the last possible window…

    Excited to see what McLaren can do today, and if the Astons really have a bit more pace than they’ve generally had for the second part of the season.

    That dent in the headrest is another nice example of how cool all those protection mechanisms are.

    Perez just seemed to block Verstappen’s lap, only to pit. Did he mess up during that run?

      I’m not sure what happened there. Based on the “that was not expected” comment on the radio it sounded like he went rogue for a bit.

    😂😂😂sky is playing the radio messages and there is no sound whatsoever, complete silence. Wonderful broadcast, hope it gets flex for race day

    EDIT: Crowd and pit lane sounds! “Technical difficulties” graphic is gone! Thank god. I did not know how much I missed it

    Is this the first time Perez has been ahead of Max in a session, this year? Certainly feels like it.
