Crofty was saying that Adrian Newey said to him that only teams he expects a challenge from are Ferrari, Mercedes and maybe Aston Martin.

Given Alonso wants as much time in the car as possible, seems odd not to turn Stroll being out into a positive by giving Fernando extra running. Seems weird to have Drugovich out there who isn’t racing and will surely give less beneficial feedback than the most experienced F1 driver of all time.
They also need Drugovich ready for an emergency situation in which Stroll can't race (which is unlikely but they have to be prepared). Alonso will run in the 2nd half as they start laying rubber on the track & temperature gets cooler !

Looking at some of the most recent shots, Ferrari definitely showing noticeable porpoising now... looked as if they carried out a suspension change in some of the close-ups in the garage so maybe starting to push how low the ride-height can go before it kicks in.

No other car at this stage has shown that much porpoising at this stage...

Also, it does seem that it looks quite twitchy at the moment, but again testing extremes and green track, all playing a part.

I've seen bounching over bumps, not seen porpoising

Yeah it isn't just bumps for Ferrari. For last half hour or so it's been bouncing/porpoising aggressively down every straight, not just where the bumps are
