I don't think I'd put Haas up there yet - only GUT seems to be able to get the car to do anything, and even then they only matched McLaren on SS when they were on US.
Unless i missed something, I assume you mean GRO, not GUT right?

My gut feeling is that Merc are dominant.
"Sebastian there's very, you're a member of a very select few.. Stewart, Lauda, Piquet, Senna, Prost, Schumacher, Fangio.. VETTEL!"

I am getting the feeling that redbull is the surprise... Ferrari may be delegated to third. But it’s FP2. I’m hoping with every fibre of my being that I’m wrong.

RedBull and McLaren in relative terms.

Ferrari only 3rd on the ultra, then a very steady cool down lap definitely suggests a quali sim. Concerning. Here’s hoping redbull is closer to merc then.

The difference between compounds seem very small.

Seems Toto wasn't bluffing too much about that in pre season testing.

Great to see the Honda engines going OK, even if it is relative to the "rest"

00:54 Raikkonen/Bottas get a stewards summons over that Turn 3 incident earlier that ended with Bottas skating through the gravel.

Kimi was off the racing line, Bottas braked too late and missed the turn in, maybe if Kimi wasn't there he wouldn't need to go through the gravel, but Kimi did nothing wrong.
