Watching from Hams on board, Sainz seems to have to avoid the kerbs in the high-speed corners for some reason.

HAM has to be sooooo patient on the throttle. Onboards feel sooooo slow. Ooof.

Alonso matching RBs and sometimes faster by a tenth or two. Ok they're probably cruising, but he's miles faster than anyone else, apart from stroll who's only 7 tenths slower.

If they can qualify well then they could fight with RB at some tracks probably

Their main deficit is efficiency and Bahrain doesn't give much laptime for efficiency due to short straights, so imo this will be a good track for AMR

still very impressive to build a car this great

We'll see how that aston works on high speed tracks. my suspicion is not as well.

Hamilton's challenge disappears, he's ran out of tyres.

Red bull are just cruising. Max was told to swap some engine setting which will be slightly slower.
Mess with the Bull - you get the horns.

They were the best in qualifying through the slow speed, and had a deficit to RB in efficiency and high speed corners. So tracks like Singapore will probably be excellent

Both Championships over. Utterly dominant.

Looks like an Alonso love in this year, as he will be the main interest this year

Nothing else of note really. Midfield towards the back very boring and no real interest. Abysmal from McLaren.

Monaco will probably be their best race

stroll must be hurting, he's dropping pace fast.
