I urge everyone to not overreact. They've brought upgrades in both last two races and the car is very fast.

We haven't shown much. Hopefully they are running with engine down.

Just setup work and tyre evaluation. Standard FP1. I guess there be more performance runs in FP2.

As it stands we have Ferrari, Max and Mercedes in the mix for the podium, might actually not be our race.

Unbelievable the panic in here about fp1 and lack of upgrades. The team should focus on maximising their current package and getting wins with it as clearly upgrades won't matter if they keep making strategic blunders.

I mean, if they can get a car 0.5s faster than everyone else, strategy errors won't matter :D not that I am expecting it happening.

I’m usually an FP1 doom and gloomer but for once I was actually able to watch it as it was aired and I thought the McLaren was looking pretty decent.
I feel Ferrari might have pushed harder than others.
The chat about Verstappen setting his time on tyre he’d already set 4 flying laps on is a load of rubbish, I checked on the live timing, he used 2 new sets in FP1, his second set was initially used for a flyer that got interrupted by the VSC then he came back out on that set and set the second fastest time.
I thought McLaren looked good on the long run times as well, Lando set a cracking lap on his last effort
