Has there been any Martin Brundle / Jenson Button / Gary Anderson on track comments about car behaviour comparations?

Check the race's live comments / q&a I think they have some Gary Anderson on there

Thanks mate...

From Race:

Been impressed by the Aston with Alonso at the wheel at dusk and now daytime. The longer this stint goes on the more Alonso is just inching away from hitting the apex but the car still looks very composed. There’s no sign of Alonso risking a lock up or having to get busy with the steering wheel. There’s maybe a touch of understeer but that’s it. It seems to scrub of speed very well."

So, what are other two teams adopted new Ferrari S-Duct solution according to Scarbs? Do we know already or was it just BS?

Looks like Haas might have, as they have an outlet behind the cockpit that they ran yesterday afternoon but not yesterday morning; if it was just cooling, why open it when it gets cooler. Check the Haas VF24 thread for that

And another team might have an s-duct that doesn't want to show it until bahrain proper or maybe never runs it.. just because it's not visible doesn't mean it isn't there - Scarbs is reliable even if it is just rumour. Of course he might be wrong too still worth looking for it

Ok, thanks. Still disappointing that is just HAAS. Because HAAS is a team that finds these type of solutions over a cup of espresso before they see them on other cars, rather than a team that adopts those solutions seeing them on competitors cars.

Of course we don't know the fuel levels, but what a lap from Verstappeen

Someone get Buxton off tech talk

It’s on the Proto equivalent to C3 though isn’t it? Eg C3 from Turkey factory instead of the normal

Yes but it's proto so it's not the same compound + this is the hottest part of the day, without doing any setup work beforehand so not bad

Jolyon is saying it's C0 which is wrong

and wheel him out towards the airport.

Looking from positive side is the most important.

Does Perez get all day tomorrow?

Yes

That’s more like it 1.31.8 on Med C2s. Guess it’s Max’s last test session so might as well do some setup work
