I know these times don’t matter, but I have to say that neither Antonelli nor Lawson impress me yet… while Hadjar seemed to come out flying
Not sure about Antonelli, but Lawson had a different spec car compared to Verstappen. The racing bulls seems fast but maybe they ran lighter? Would be fun if they could actually compete.
Going off Markos remarks it seems like they don’t expect Racing Bulls to be able to match Red Bull’s performance. Apparently Red Bull chose a spec configuration for fp2 that was worse than in fp1, so they are going back to how it was at the start.
I concur that the times don’t mean much. I still am happy for Sainz so far, seems something at Williams was clicking for him.
