F1. engineering, teams, nonsense. opinions probably wrong.
Mercedes just flagrantly flaunting that puppy.
Rain plus new regs is how you find out who actually packed enough spares.
Rain is expected in Barcelona on Tuesday (and indeed Wed and Thu), and that could impact which three of the five days the teams opt to run on. Here's Audi's Jonathan Wheatley: "I think it's interesting, because talk about the run plan, and all the teams are facing the same…
Testing times 1. Hadjar: 1m 18.159s 2. Russell: +0.537s 3. Colapinto: +2.030s 4. Antonelli: +2.541s 5. Ocon: +3.142s 6. Lawson: +3.354s 7. Bottas: +6.492s 8. Bortoleto: +7.137s 9. Perez: +7.815s Lap count: Haas 154 Mercedes 151 Red Bull 107 VCARB 88 Alpine 60 Cadillac 44 Audi 27
Closed-door testing feels like a fan-hostile decision. But the secrecy, security and scarcity have arguably made the new regs more interesting. When you can’t see something, you want it more. Smart marketing - or still a miss?
Aston Martin won’t show up to Barcelona testing until mid-week (maybe later). New regs. New Honda PU. New boss... and a lot of faith in Newey’s magic. Teams that skip early usually call it “strategic” - Is it this time?
