We seem to have had a lot of rain affected weekends so far this year.

In the 90s and 2000s I was always hoping for rain and almost never got it. Last 2 years it's every other race.

Mclaren back to slicks. Brave. Imagine the tracks drying quickly, but will be good data gathering for the cross over.

It’s a shame they don’t give us a inters/wet timing board when the session changes. To give us a view of the times on the inters, instead of the dry weather leaderboard

Right now Verstappen is an alien with a 1.38.5 followed by sainz at 1.40.4 and Perez just slightly slower. Lec just did 1.41.1

1. It seems that Ferrari has picked up the top speed after they figure out the beam wing triple DRS trick
2. On the opposite side it seems that Merc is set up more towards a wet race, coz I don`t think they are 12kph down the straight (both drivers were on Strat 2 hearing the radio onboards).
3. Both Red Bull and Merc drivers did 2 cool-down laps between the hot laps, so the new tyres are overheating or do just they need some "cooking" to be ready?
4. On the inters they need only 1 cool-down lap
5. VER on interest 1.38.6 was almost 1.4 sec/lap faster than HAM 1.39.0 - the second fastest driver - on the same age and time set-related tyre!

Based on what Sam Collins was telling yesterday, observing the top speeds, it appears as if Mercedes has picked drag again with the new parts.
