if he gets out with 90 minutes remaining he can still do a good 30-40 laps maybe more depending of the program so lets wait and see [-o<

I think that it's the merits of the car that are most worrying. We said at the beginning of testing that if they're 20kph down on the other cars then it's not good. That's where this car is.

It hasn't set any times below 1.26. It hasn't shown any straightline speed. It has had reliability issues. These are facts.

When the 31 sets times that are faster, when it shows speed on the straights, when it doesn't break down. Then we can say that the engine has improved. There are only 8 days testing this year, half of them are gone. People can continue to believe that there's going to be a magic moment when the engine suddenly improves but that is an act of faith rather than looking at the facts.
They have a filming day tomorrow and 4 testing days. The season is long, let's not make predictions after 4 days of testing. Remember how many miles they completed before today and as they said previously they aren't pushing yet. They haven't even used ultra soft or super soft tyres yet.

The hydraulic leak could have happened to any team, it's not really a follow on of Honda's previous issues I don't think.
Finally, everyone knows that Red Bull is a joke and Max Verstappen is overrated.

What is the record for most laps on a single day of testing with a single car? Mercedes is approaching 190 laps.

Of course, it's not really a simulation of a real race if you only use one kind of tyre...
