Car seemed very twitchy and unstable in FP1. not sure if it's setup or an aero issue with the updates. I don't think either driver got a clean lap in. Early days but a lot of work to do

The twitch Lando had on his first run on soft tyres was caused by change in wind direction as confirmed by team race feed.

The older spec has a sleeker profile.
