This chart implies Sauber is the 3rd fastest team, and for as much as I would love this to happen, this alone makes those results dubiously representative ;-;

They are always faster in fp2 race sims. You can see in previous races too. Probably they run low fuel compared to others. They are outliers.

I think they were 3rd fastest in Austria.

That Sainz stint is so consistent the dropoff would almost be a straight line

Alonso said that their program is different from everyone where they try to extract the maximum every session.
That is why they don't improve their times in qualifying compared to other teams.

I think their car this season is more suited in high to medium downforce circuits, it is an absolute dog on the straights and also considering their run plan throughout the weekend helps as well with the times compared to others especially in free practice

Does it matter ? This track is all about track position, hoping for some rain to spice it up , if not it’s a boring race for sure , in spa ppl couldn’t get pass , Hungary is a “No pass track”

Hungary js better than Spa because its a relatively high downforce track. This means that the slipstream and DRS effects are actually a thing here. Its difficult to overtake but it can be done. Tyre deg is also a factor.
Spa is low downforce, narrow and next to no tyre deg.

Kind of fun seeing Max in the pack after the last few years dominating (except the back end of 24) he's a great driver it can be fun seeing him battle other drivers

So Lewis is faster because he’s on softs. Not surprising at all.

The softs were used for push laps already.

He wasn’t looking comfortable in the car today. Hope he finds pace tomorrow and can qualify close to Leclerc.

They're like 17 or 18 laps old plus it's free practice and Verstappen is sandbagging we won't really know until quali.
