Such limited track time. Sirotkin only cam out with 25 minutes of the session completed.
Stroll has come out and said Williams decline is shocking.
Stroll seems to be even slower than last year 
Sirotkin's qualifying simulation sees him 10th. Just goes to show that there is some pace in the FW41. But seems very much like it is hit and miss and with two inexperienced drivers it is difficult to get the best from the car. On this occasion Sergey seems to have got it right.

That is interesting but I bet he won't be 10th after actual qualifying he will be more like 16th or 17th.
It depends really with a midfield this tight it's simply who does the best lap at any given time. Stroll is awful
Is it the 3 rd practice session a row that Sergei is at least .5 faster than Stroll
I think as a rookie he still feels the pressure a bit too much in qualifying. Once he settles in. Like Massa, he will dominate stroll.

Well that's not a very dificult thing to do, Stroll is clearly the worst driver out there.
Unfortunatly the car isn't good cause Sirotkin might not be a top driver but he can show some speed at times.
I tend to agree with it been difficult for Sirotkin in qualifying but maybe he can make it into Q2 which would be a good, not fantastic, result.
Did the car find any pace since yesterday or did the other teams get slower?
Even Palmer would have dominated Stroll in this car.
If the gap between Stroll and Sirotkin after the quali will still be this big, Lawrence will be fuming. And ashamed i think.
There has to be a point when he will start thinking that this just isnt worth it for him and it damages his reputation too much.

Maybe we gave it the full beans for a lap or two while the other teams didnt?
Morning all
Nice to see Serge having a go again.

If you read the quotes, he sounds much more positive than Stroll. A positive attitude helps.
Fingers crossed that our pace in fp3 was genuine
Force India 1s faster than us here...
it looks a decent attempt from the lads, maybe not enough to Q2 material will see

No way. You wouldn't waste the engine life. There's nothing to gain from running the engine harder. Sirotkin is actually looking good for q2
