F1 2020 Pre-Season Testing Thread

The garage screen ban is really working, this is the best coverage ever, teams are playing along letting the cameras see everything. And Sky, they are expensive but they do try. 3 doing commentary, huge challenge!! including Jolyon, and Ted and Rosanna in the pitlane. Full set of cameras round the track and some onboard, and surround sound

So simply we have top 3 cars SF1000-W11-RB16
And we have 3 clone cars VF20-RP20-AT01

another 4 ones MCL35-RS20-C39-FW43

and I appreciate Alfa and Williams engineers for not cloning their cars it with top teams even in low-budget condition.

obviously you're buying food for your kids or something instead of paying Sky properly!

Watching F1TV to get a glimpse of all cars on track. They follow the same car lap after lap. Extremely boring. Watching for an hour now and didnt see the RB16 on track while having the most laps... :S

I can't believe it; the producers found yet ANOTHER thing to make things more annoying! Now we have this incredibly annoying "engine" sound during the transition screens (e.g. transiting between replay and live feed with the F1 logo). It used to be just a normal swishing sound, but now they've added this "engine" sound which actually sounds like a mosquito going by your ear really fast. Unreal how year after year they try and make things worse.

We've had this last year already.

It really wasn't like how it is now. I do remember it being annoying in the beginning but they reverted, and now they're at it again.

True, just heard it and it sounds horrible.

The App is working fine for me, all sector times, tyre info ect, like a normal race weekend. I cant get any timing on the website on my laptop though.

Most impressive are not the times I think, but the fact that all cars seems to run without much trouble. Normally we would have some red flags and mechanics scratching their heads.

Just noticed in the first 2 hours of 2020 testing, Racing Point have gone quicker than they managed in 8 days of testing last year!
