@BearsEatBeets Yes. Usually as the years get on after big regulation changes everyone gets closer, so this year, and next, should be closer than last.

I still think Merc will be closer than they looked during testing and practise but we’ll see.

@themightyant i think part is stopping the bouncing and the no sidepod, if the rest use them, including Adrian Newey designs imo its not right. plus the engine still seems slower.

Hopefully its sandbagging im just not sure

As an aside I just binged Drive to Survive Season 5. Can’t believe how much they skipped including

Some of the biggest/juiciest moments imho.

Thought that Yuki x Pierre episode was amazing!

Practice 3 was exciting but still a little ominous, Max had 3-4 imperfect corners and was still P2 just five thousandths off P1. I also think they might be sandbagging, not long now to find out exactly where they all are.

@themightyant P3 made me quite optimistic for quali. Your right RB weren't probably on 100% but then maybe other teams weren't too and I feel any little mistake might allow someone to profit from it. Not long to find out.

@BearsEatBeets 1st run down and that gives me a little more hope. Fer, Merc, Fer, Aston, RB, RB, Merc. VERY early days but hopeful that is more representative. Fingers crossed

Other end of the spectrum McLaren showing how much work they have to do.

UPDATE 1: Q1 top 5 within 0.2. Top 10 within 0.5. And top 15 within 0.65. Obviously some only ran once but that is promising for more competition
