I think McLaren are just keep expectations to an absolutely minimum. Last season the were raving about winning races and look how that turned out.

Ferrari by the way seems ok, they overturned the car from last year!
They have to at least test them at some point, no?

Yes of course they have to test these tyres.. but doing almost at the same time ?
Maybe they were a little bored ? I don't know... by the way looking at ultrasofts after use it's like looking at chewing gum....

Ah... F1 is back bringing with it renewed hopes and dreams for the fans during pre-season testing. Only for them to be utterly dashed in Melbourne.

Scary to see Alonso up there. :D
more scary would be to be able to read ALO's mind atm.
With almost 90 laps done, I think that what is thinking right now is much better than during last season pre-tests. :D

It's only the 2nd day, but over the remaining days we might start to see a trend as for who prefers which tyres. Teams have already submitted their tyre request for the first races to the FIA/Pirelli, so it's likely they focus on testing their prefered tyres.

Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.
