How's the AMR looking? I missed FP1. But going by the results, Alonso is in the mix. He may be fighting Perez, Leclerc, HAM and Russel throughout the season. Things look ominous for Verstappen. Drop 3 tenths to any time Perez is capable of doing and you know the true gap to the second team.
I still don’t believe the hype. But he should be in Q3 and best of the rest in the race.

If Max's car isn't working properly which seems to be the case then the race is wide open :D
Verstappen's car did not behave like last week during the test days, so they will look at that at Red Bull. Second practice starts at 4 p.m. Dutch time, just like qualifying tomorrow and race Sunday.

"We can definitely fix that by the next practice session," Marko added.

They'll be fine. Even if they can't get the fix done by FP2, they have ample time to basically rebuild the car for tomorrow's FP3 and Q.

Wow, how is Ferrari’s front wing legal?

That top flat is definitely deforming under load
