Well, the 2nd one is the best option right now. T-cam is absolutely horrible

My paranoia is telling me the Sky crew is paying lip service to Haas because they are now broadcasting in the US. However seeing the time sheets says they might be right... but still.. >_>

Haas are always quick in Melbourne. Good winters feeding on Ferrari scraps.

They were clear 4th best last year as well.

I would put a gap between Mercedes/Red Bull and Ferrari, not a huge one but enough to put them out of the fight.

01:08 Hamilton's long-run pace looking ominous on the ultrasoft. He's consistently in the 1m28s at the moment. No one else is getting close to that consistently at the moment.

Sky says Mercedes and redbull in the high 28’s, Ferrari in the low 29’s. Little between merc and redbull, Ferrari a little further back.

They also said Ham's tires are twice as old as Ric's.

True but I'm taking how Ferrari last season seemed to find time between Friday and Saturday into account.

Also looking at it Alonso looks like actually being able to get involved in some races when the cards fall right.

At least you can see the road from the T-cam. You can't see anything from this angle.

I really wish F1 would provide 5, 10, 15, and even 20 lap run times and averages. I want to see who really has what.

Wow if that’s true, is sky just straight up lying? I’m here chewing my nails off in anxiety at the thought of a Mercedes walkover and that’s happening without a mention on commentary? Suuuuper annoying

Cars seem to be affected a lot by Halo (both weight and aero), everyone bar McLaren is slower than last year. Or is it too soon to say?
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

You need to consider fuel load!
