So its amateur hour again at our precious team

It does not seem that bad. An issue with the wheel eyebrow but Lando is back on track now.

Apparently Ferrari are going to dismantle the floor for some reason. Maybe damage

The alfa looks like the Merc head-on in these floodlights. The red doesn't pop at all

Very aggressive bouncing for Leclerc down the straight, and his laptimes don't look like it's just full load of fuel behaviour.

Looks just like porpoising to me

Felipe Drugovich said on F1TV Pro that there is a fairly big transition level across the track before turn 1 in the braking zone and that`s the reason why the cars are looking like they are porpoising ...

And regarding the top speeds:



F1 live timing unfortunately isn`t working ...

I'm not talking about just turn 1. Ferrari have been rhythmically hopping on every straight, even some corners. I think they're just pushing the limits

This looks more like a post season test than a pre season test for Red Bull and Max!

They’ve got nothing quite new (I mean a new concept) on the car to test and they’re jus pilling up the laps! No problems at all…fast straight out of the box!

Just a glimpse of what’s to come this season from them and food for thought for those who thought the 25% reduction in CFD time penalty would hurt them any way…

Now they are approaching the race start time many drivers are doing sim laps ... HAM just did a 15-lap sim race on used medium tyres, running at first laps in mid 1.38 then in mid 1.39 after 10 laps or so and finishing in low 1.40 ...

Max has been piling long stints in 1.36s.

Max has been piling long stints in 1.36s.

On the Yellow tyres with writing I think which is C3 - the soft tyre for Bahrain race, so not full fuel load I think

[f1jcw]

Max has been piling long stints in 1.36s.

Yes, you are right, the redbull is 4 seconds a lap faster then everyone else.
Lets stop watching F1.
