And that’s everything for today. You can join Tom Lutz on Sunday for the race itself, which starts at 4pm local time and 9pm BST, unless the weather picture goes crazy and they pull it forward. It promises to be an unpredictable race, and the big test of the new regulations and how teams adapt to them. The fact we have four different teams occupying the four places on the front two rows shows that there is all to play for, and less than 0.06sec covers the places three to five on the grid. I can’t wait. Thank you for reading and good evening/good night.
