^ I think it's a bit early to start thinking that Aston Martin will the great this weekend just because it timed well 8n FP1. And this is FP1... The other teams haven't done the proper tweaks and adjustments yet. We'll prolly see Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari improve their times by FP3.
And don't discount Max Verstappen just yet, This is his home track after all.
What do you guys think of Verstappen to win the race at 9.00 in this spot? I think that at least deserves a small bet.

Well, Aston Martin is only 0.09s behind after fp2
I think they can't compete with Mclarens, I'm expecting that the papaya is holding back some hidden power.
Also rain will probably happen so everything will shuffle.
If not rain then Aston can compete for the second row for sure.
I usually wait for FP3 before judging if a team or a driver really is competitive against the leading team. And true enough, FP3 has shown that Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari are more competitive than the guys at Aston Martin.
Surprisingly Sainz in that Williams looked really good in FP3. This could be an interesting qualifying imho.
Here are the results for FP3.
