Edd Straw

He wouldn't be drawn exactly on what it is, but he says, oh, we can see it there in the data.

But of course, you then got the question of, is it just the thing of the other guy's doing well and that's making him...

question what's going on, et cetera, et cetera.

well yeah exactly yeah we know which one came off for us unfortunately but yeah got a little bit of damage which he carried through into Q2 but that didn't explain all of the problems but yeah Gasly pretty happy with that damage limitations but he was chasing down or well trying to chase down Lawson in that second stint but he couldn't Lawson was on the soft versus Gasly on the hards I think Alpine probably on reflection would have regretted taking the hards because the softs were lasting really really well

so maybe that would have been something that that uh gazzy could have caught and passed lawson if uh if you've been on softs potentially because i just think that the alpine had a bit more race pace right elsewhere in the midfield john williams color science got ninth prod alex albin had another unlucky weekend hit the groundhog on friday didn't do the sprint race well they didn't do sprint qualifying to do the sprint race but it was a glorified test and then

doing his first push laps on low fuel in qualifying and the race started well and he got clattered by Piastri.

So mixed bag of wins.

Albert actually felt, because he was in a decent position, I think he was running 12th when he was clattered, he felt that he was moving forward and actually was on for a pretty good result when that happened.

But he's complained that, not complained, I'll ask him about it, that the problem of all the misfortune is he just feels like he's down on seat time and the chance to understand the car.

So he's determined to have a few mistakes.

Clean weekends to catch up on that.

The final point went to Oli Behrman in the Haas.

You have to say that was a pretty good result for them because they've really struggled this weekend.

They had an upgrade on the car.

It was put on Behrman's car for the first part of the weekend.

Ocon stayed with the old spec and then Ocon got it for main qualifying.

Yeah, struggle in terms of the characteristics.

And Ocon felt he had a car problem in the race because he was so slow because he was down in 14th place at the finish behind the Audis.

He'd started on the intermediates.

Ocon hadn't started on the intermediates, but he was struggling.
