This is a cool one: the room the strategist use to assist the guys at the track during the event!

The big screen shows the live feed, the laptimes, the general telemetry and all the valuable data

I then remained in their office for more than one hour. We looked at the public telemetry of all the teams, and it was familiar. So I gave a few tips to Tisha, as I noticed that some of the things he was trying to do I already did in the last few months!

So these were the things, among those that I saw, which were not confidential and I could show to you!🤩

It was a thrilling experience: thanks to Tisha and
@RLLracing
for the opportunity!🤝

The working environment seemed exceptional to me: I can definitely recommend it!✅

📊A quick look at the Minisectors before qualifying

📊Top Speeds in FP1

Surely, drag will not be a problem for🟢Aston Martin! (It might be for🟠McLaren, though).

Qualifying will be held in more representative track conditions.

📊Top Speeds!

🟢Aston Martin was on top for the first time since its existence!🏆

🔵RedBull's top speed was excellent considering the very loaded wing they are running🚀

⚫️Mercedes and🟠McL were held back by their drag: they will be on the back foot when battling

📊Minisectors

🔵VER had the edge in several low and medium-speed corners: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14

🟢ALO was very competitive in the quicker sections:
-Fast corners 12,13,15
-Most of the main straight (excellent drag)

What's your prediction for the Sprint Shootout?👀

Ideal Lap and Best Sectors:

🔵RB was quickest in Sectors 1 and 3
⚫️Mercedes was fastest in Sector 2

🟢Aston was almost as quick in Sector 3, and🟠McL was very competitive in Sector2

🔴Ferrari was quite slow everywhere!

🟢Aston's performance in qualifying was impressive:
-Highest top speed (323km/h)➡️Excellent drag
-Yet, Alonso was able to stay full-throttle for the longest! (61.8% of the lap)➡️Good downforce too

Excellent setup? Extraordinary drive? Effect of track-limit chaos?🤔

What we saw in qualifying got confirmed: 🟢 Aston DOES have an excellent top speed!

🟠 McLaren was once again quite draggy, but their excellent grip more than compensated for that.

Overtaking in the Sprint and in the Race might be difficult for ⚫️ Mercedes.

🗒Thought on the Sprint!

Piastri WINS in front of 3x World Champion Verstappen!
He equals Lauda, Brabham, Stewart, Piquet… and Senna!🏆

Russell, Norris and Leclerc showed us some pretty impressive overtakes today: you CAN overtake in Qatar.

Extreme wear: 🟡Mediums>>🔴Softs

5 retirements in just 11 laps: a demolition derby💥

What do YOU think? 👀

Gap to Piastri during the #F1Sprint

RUS was on fire at the start; he also had a good pace from the restart up to lap 9, then his soft tyres fell off📉

In the last laps, Norris was fastest: no surprise he could overtake RUS!

No team should use the softs tomorrow🚫

📊Top speeds - Sprint

Hamilton reached 344km/h during his comeback.🚀

The highest without DRS was 321km/h, by Albon.

Russell's top speed was low, as he didn't have DRS.
