Hopefully Mr Hamilton smiling is a good thing

I don't want to be optimistic, so I'll pretend this photo was taken before the tests started

The car was certainly a bit “nervous” but I guess that’s expected when establishing the setup window, etc. considering the brand new suspension

And a brand new driver, adjusting to a new power unit with unique power delivery characteristics, perhaps a different throttle curve, new brakes, so forth.

If it's true that the SF-25 may have a bit more front-end / looser rear, that will also give the perception of nervousness.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the car look considerably more settled in the hands of Leclerc, who will be much more accustomed to how it behaves, and may prefer/better handle a pointy front/loose rear.

where you guys geting all these laptime data

Hard to tell if we are competetive this year or next year will be our year

Every car looked nervous actually, and there’s plenty of wind at the track.

Car looked quite smooth and balanced watching Leclerc's fastest lap from onboard. Perhaps not as responsive through T11 as I'd like to see, which is a tiny bit concerning given that turn-in responsiveness in those sort of lower-medium loaded corners was one of the car's bigger issues through most of last year(at least in comparison to Mclaren). But it's early days of course.

EDIT: Just watched Norris' lap, though not onboard. The Mclaren easily looks more glued up and responsive. Different conditions at the time of the laps and plenty of minor unknowns that can all make a difference, but if anybody was hoping Mclaren might have lost a step, dont count on it. lol Ferrari have it cut out.

We don’t know fuel loads. The first day is not very useful for comparisons.

Characteristics are still things to notice. If we cant even point this stuff out, then there's literally no point in paying any attention at all!

Also, looks like Ferrari are potentially on a race sim now. Leclerc's first stint was mid 1:36's for the most part.
