- Thread starter Aiii
- Start date
Really liking the Alfa/Sauber team gear, are they for sale anywhere? (Mens and Womens).
I Believe Tatiana Calderon has been with Sauber for a few years now. I hope she has a fair shot if she gets a test run.
They brought it on themselves!
Also not Woking.
Brake issues made them lose half the afternoon.
McLaren need to get on top of their issues.
Merc and Ferrari look strong. Maybe a cigarette paper between them at Melbourne?
MOOOOOOOM, MERCEDES IS SANDBAGGING AGAIN
Mercedes' reign of terror is over.
Looks like it. Or they were simply running heavy as tankers today.
1) Testing
2) Red Bull was never the fastest in a straight line during their reign of terror.

I forgot this was happening. So glad it is.
For some reason I have this sinking feeling that the Mercs will return to their dominant ways this season and Hammy will cruise to that fifth title.
Everyone's feeling unwell this week it seems!
Anyway, the McLaren lives!
I don't think anyone else has played with the hyper soft tyres but it's fascinating that they're lasting for 5 flying laps + cooldowns.
Other teams, notably Haas have been complaining that the soft tyres (not even super or ultra) are graining during their flying laps yet Alonso just banged out at least 5 flying laps in one stint at 1:21 or quicker with no signs of issues?
Like aside, has McLaren made a good car here once they figure out how to stop things exploding?
Expect a break down in 10 minutes.

So to recap:
A McLaren just managed a 10+ lap run on the hypersoft tyres, set the fastest time of the day and managed consistent lap times after the initial few laps of fast laps and cooldowns.
Obviously looooong way to go but finally, finally a bit of light at the end of the tunnel?

About that unmarked rubber, taken from Motorsport live coverage
The unmarked tyres were mediums from a different factory and Ocon sets the fastest time in the testing weeks so far with a 1:19 flat on soft tyres.
Not going to lie, this is the most exciting testing for me for years. I can't call the field spread at all so far and I love it.
Edit: Yeah I got the same info from Autosport, so effectively the same source.
Edit: Ocon pinged for track limits, boo!

And on a low track run too!
Still!
Alonso on another 10+ lap run on hyper soft tyres. Consistent in 1:21s. 29 laps already.
Edit: 33! In the pits again now. Really really wanting a good day for them.
Hamilton has the fastest lap time so far on unmarked medium 1m18.945s , can't wait to see a competitive lap time from Ferrari
I read something from Allison yesterday where he's saying the coke bottle rear end is worth 0.25 alone and that overall this car is "much much faster" than last year.
yeah that was from a video posted my Mercedes AMG F1 on their Youtube channel
The F1 fan in me feels pity for how McLaren have dropped the ball this week and how their reputation is now on a knife's edge. The Schumacher fan in me however, feels a sense of humour and hilarity over how McLaren have sabotaged themselves with no one else to blame now.
Lap time watch: It should come as no surprise we are seeing some quick times, the new track surface alone should cut ~2 seconds from last year.
Speaking of the new tarmac...
I tend to agree with him, however I believe the main reason for the new surface was for the MotoGP series where the riders were really struggling with braking.

Ffs fix your shitbox Renault!! It's a joke, we have the best package and are doomed to run on a GP2 engine :(
PS: I fear it will be another easy title for Lewis.

Well McLaren have a history of reliability issues for like ever - (at least 1999+ when I started watching).
Yeah but I won't be shocked if Mclaren looks fine in Australia and the Toro's are slowest in a straight line.
