    Mercedes modifications for race 1: front wing (flaps), nose (more undercut), floor (edge ahead of rear tyre), rear break ducts (lower deflector endplate).
    It's Mercedes trying to catch up, as expected. The order established a week ago will not necessarily be that of this weekend and this applies to many teams (
    porpoising was estimated as a 7 tenths lost, that's a lot, and the reason why teams mainly focus on the first. It is also a handicap to develop the car more generally)

    Only FP1 and heavily detuned engine. 305 km/h with DRS open, even slower than pre-season testing.

    We're not slow. Just wait until we turn up the power. Already P2 and P3 on mediums, but there's still more to come.

    both Leclerc and Sainz’s flying laps ruined by traffic (leclerc spun)

    Orherwise we set purple at sector 1

    Then both driver did 1.34.500-600 with 4 laps old mediums

    Below 1:34.000 was possible with mediums if first flying laps not interrupted for us

    And Gasly’s race engineer said “woah what a lap mate” for 1:34.193 with soft set.

    * Positive vibes.
    * Concerned from the engine change on BOT's car
    * Positive feelings for 2-3 (still only FP1)
    * Happy for Pierre (sorry, I just like him)

    Not a bad first outing. I am cautiously optimistic.

    Too early to judge indeed...too early to say we are fast or Mercedes is a mule...maybe in the end our car will be again a mule..or a title contender...in FP2 we will see more.First impression is that i expect more.
