Anti-Stall Failed?
3 lap stint, 2 of which very slow.

I think it's the first time in quite a few years they've clocked 100+ laps on opening day of pre-season tests.PhillipM wrote: ↑18 Feb 2019, 19:31Wouldn't worry too much about tyres for delta's either, they spent a lot of the long runs doing the odd slow pass past the pits for aero checks. See how the next few days pan out, they are 3 seconds faster than last years Day 1 testing, but then most teams are at least two seconds faster.
