Couldn't be otherwise because they run the track constantly dryer .
MAX isn't happy : Horner : MAX in the last 2 laps they ran 2 sec. faster because the track dried up.

See how he does on the softs now.

And Ferrari Fred is watching the SPA clouds .

Track is only dry on one line, still treacherous it depends who is the brave one.

That's what we wanted and it's worked out well for MAX to be on the 3rd row after the grid penalty was applied by Dominecali with that killer lap of 0.9 secs in front of Charlie being the key news. I feel sorry for the others who know what's coming from behind and Checo will do well to back up MAX I'm sure.

*IF Checo wants to help MAX he must be P1 in T1 in the race

Then , His next move @Eau-Rouge is his elbows very (wide)!

On the other hand : Don't know what MAX can lose in the WDC

And I think It's all about the unpredictable rain ...

Over here at moment it's pitch black again and the next rain shower is a fact !

It's up to Checo at the start, he's had some help from a shrink apparently that's done him a lot of good and he needed it.
That rain seems to double back on the Ardennes which as a large valley area holds the low pressure weather over it.

Toto after the QF session :

Did any of you guys notice the contrail UNDER the Ferrari? It's the first time I've ever seen such a thing and I thought it was cool as hell.

Very likely the wet air turbulence sucked into the Venturi channels (ground-effect)

Wet air is foggy and therefore more visible in this situation .

BTW : Is that YODA ?

Toto may need to see a shrink the way he's going, he knows there's no escape from the MAX force whatever he comes up with.

HA! No. It's a cherub. I'm not allowed to put any Star Wars decorations in the living room.
