Being that the Sprint kicks off in 20 minutes or so it's time to get a thread going!


Great track with a mix of medium and high speed corners, and the cars are looking good. Though the single practice session everyone was guessing, with long runs done on differing tires for some teams. But no huge shocks once the Sprint Qualifiction started, other than RB struggling more than some expected.
