That’s a fantastic guide for newcomers to F1 testing! If people actually take the time to read and absorb this, we might see fewer knee-jerk “OMG my team is doomed” posts after a single bad session.
I’d also add one more thing: if a car is looking too planted, almost too easy to drive, that’s not always a great sign. Some of the most competitive cars in F1 history have been a handful—because they were right on the knife’s edge of performance. A car that looks "lazy" in rotation might be stable but lacking outright pace.
And yeah, Alonso and Hamilton are always fun to watch in interviews. When they’re cryptic, you know something’s up.
Q3 at Albert Park will be the first true read—but even then, Bahrain, Suzuka, and Barcelona will tell the full story. Buckle up, folks!
