Quali thoughts: -MCL gained everything in sector 3, VER matched in sectors 1 & 2 -Ferrari couldn’t balance sectors 1 & 3, slow in one or the other. Combining best sector times, HAM could’ve been P3 (+0.377), but the tyre situation made that impossible #F1 #AustralianGP #PACETEQ

Had a look at some data and I think Sergio Perez would have been knocked out in Q1 as well today. PER was on avg. 0,561 sec. slower in quali compared to Max. If you add this gap to VER's Q1 lap, PER would have done a 1:16,579 matching HUL's time for P17. #F1 #AustralianGP

To judge the performance of each car & driver at the #AustralianGP, it is better to look at the first stint only, as it was not distorted by strategies. This is what came out of it, showing McLaren was in a league of their own mostly due to better tyre management: #F1 #PACETEQ

In my opinion, McLaren gave away a great chance of winning the #JapaneseGP by not trying the overcut with Lando Norris as they overestimated the undercut danger from Russell behind. Analysis how they could have won in Suzuka here (in German). formel1.de/news/grand-pri… #F1 #PACETEQ

The #MiamiGP qualifying order if every driver had combined their best sectors from the entire qualifying. 👀👇 McLaren once again missed a great opportunity for a front row lockout (similar to Japan). #F1 #PACETEQ

Longrun pace (tyre adjusted) 👀👇 - Norris fastest due to better pace on Mediums - Verstappen was fast as well with better tyre management than McLaren - Sauber, Racing Bulls and Alpine with great pace - Ferrari and Mercedes struggling a bit #F1 #SpanishGP #PACETEQ
