Redbull's front wing design looks quite different and very big rear wing they use.

RB looking kinda loose on the rear, unlike last year when it didn't want to turn into a corner at all. Also running very stiff, it nearly took off on that bump into T1.

Yes the rear is super loose. The beam wing setup they're running does not look very cranked. Maybe this is why

Rb are certainly putting the laps in this morning. Seems odd that they're not making any changes between them

Apologies for the somewhat off topic but just trying to decide if I want to get the F1 live timing app for testing (and the whole season) I know it doesn’t give live race coverage as Sky have exclusive TV rights here in the UK.

Does anyone know though apart from archive stuff and live timing does the £20 UK subscription include post practice/quali/race highlights and the Jolyon Palmer analysis and the Sam Collins/Albert Fabrega tech stuff?

Worth ‘living/working abroad’ for the full coverage.

Personally I find F1TV coverage a lot better than sky, just sky has a bit better post race where the interview, so watch sky live then drop back onto the post race show on F1Tv to catch up.
Mess with the Bull - you get the horns.
