On the first day of testing, at that.
Besides, Williams is last at the minute, couldn't even drive fast enough to get to the circuit :wink:

To his teammates time from this morning, so the Renault is consistent ;) , their DRS not running is not helping their times, if they have gone for a fast run today.

I think for the first time in years the Ferrari looks really stunning.
They looked the same one year ago.

maybe add the f1 timing live stream as well, since it's actually unlisted on youtube

You can access it trough their live commentary on f1.com or trough the f1 app, but not directly on youtube. Obviously they want to steer people towards their own coverage.

Somehow all channels are down from testing.
Any thoughts about this tweet?

Read somewhere that Renault DRS is not complete hence they can't open it and lose 8 tenth a lap.

Have you seen images with DRS opened on the Renault ?
RIC is not using it atm.
DRS stands for Daniel Ricciardo Speedburst, he already has it all the time, no need for him to activate it.

Just a reminder that Vettel already made a faster lap than Mercedes did in 2018's tests, even tho they won the championship after the tests.

Sky concluded that Hamilton couldn’t overtake Kvyat despite new regulations. Most idiotic conclusion of the day so far (out of many other ridiculous stuff there).

love sky going on about how hamilton should find clear air and how he couldn't get past the Kvyat, completely ignoring the possibility that he's just got a load of data about how the car behaves when following another car

Not entirely surprising given we have bigger, more efficient front and rear wings this year, even with the loss of some outwash, plus the usual developments, and more powerful DRS.
