Happy as well for Ferrari to pull a rabbit out of the hat, and it's good to see Toto unhappy for a change, let's see if they're still competitive on a real race track (more flowing). Apparently the new cars + aero make a 2-2.5 sec turbulent wake now, so it looks like it won't exactly be a season of nose-to-tail racing and scintillating passes on track...
Sounds like Bottas is already a team player (but HAM was turning down his engine so maybe that's fair that he did not try to pass him). "Please give me a contract for next year"
Honda is....sad. No power and high fuel consumption? seriously? you have to turn it down so it doesn't shake itself to death AND you need to save fuel ? I don't see ALO finishing the year at McLaren, "we should be last" on race #1, that's pretty disheartening to have a driver of his caliber being 30 khp slower on the straights and totally wasted there...
Stroll lived up to his name and strolled in the park 1-1.5 sec slower than an unretiring Massa which was slower than Bottas last year. The kid is apparently not another Verstappen. The italian sub for the dislikable Wehrlein did a good job...
Bummed about HAAS, Romain was doing well.... Are they using last year's engine or this year ? Turbo ???
