How is the long run pace guys?
I am watching the race pace and ours don't seem like anything special so far. It's kinda close between Merc, Bulls, McLaren, Aston and Ferrari, but we look like a tail of that group. If we aren't running more detuned engines than others in practice, we may have a problem.

Everyone is now doing low 1'37s and Max is the only one in the 1'36s, he literally has no deg
well it seems a few teams (Merc to name one) did a LOT of sandbagging in winter tests......we may have a BIT of work to do to not only catch up but surpass them

Our tyres deg seems good, Sainz did a 37.0 in the last lap
But Max did a 36.6 in his 16 laps old tyres...

*Mercedes powered cars looking very strong. Mercedes particularly very strong in the first and third sector.
*Perez & Piastri looked the fastest over the long run. Max & Charles most consistent.
*Charles didn't get a clean on his 2nd C3 tyre run. Did his best time of the on his 3rd attempt and had traffic. So more to come from him.
*Haas very strong and only 0.5 seconds slower than the Merc. Their long run pace was good as well.
S1 and S3 where Mercs are faster are power sectors. I don't believe Merc is quicker from us especially when we have the most powerful PU and of the best top speeds on the field.
Lets wait for the telemetries to see there is an indication of lower PU mode by Ferrari.
I may be wrong of course but i hope im not
