We won't know anything about how the car measures up to the competition until Stroll does his race simulation tomorrow night. Too much speculation about the car being either good or bad.
Just look at the race time table, Verstappen fixed on 32.6 even lowering it after 8/9 laps of tyres, at around 11 he goes up to 32.8/9. Norris same times with medium tyres more or less, with hard tires it's on a costant low 33.0/1. Mercedes came up with newer tyres and was running from 33 to 33.6. Ferrari did another kind of work. All the rest do another sport, invisible Aston, some laps of stroll (the best 32.9 and then it rose dramatically.). Of course different strategies, but if on a tyre with many laps you go down with the times the car works well, Redbull and McLaren above Mercedes, Ferrari is not yet known but it seems fast. So also From the tests you can already understand who is fast and who is not
