You could clearly see Max wasn't even trying. I think they're massively sandbagging. I got Ferrari as second best and AMR (with Alonso) 3rd just in front of the Mercs.

Love it when Sky people are saying how hooked up the car is and then comes Max on the radio "Everything is f##king miles off", on a lap of 1.33 while they did 1.29 during testing :D :D :D

I only had a look at live timing, and except for the fastest lap I saw laps of like 2:35 and thought there was a freak rainstorm or something :lol:

Remove one of them out of the commenting booth , because he had a shitty career and keeps talking.
We dont need comments on a smoking tyre and someone telling us if its small or big lockup.

No in testing Max was regularly over 310 km/h on quali sims. It was long runs <300kph

Some of these comments are becoming ridiculous now. No one is doubting Redbull's clear advantage but there's no need to overplay it. A driver doesn't need to be sawing away at the wheels to show he's pushing if the car is well balanced. There's no reason for a racing driver not to be pushing on the first weekend of the season. Come on!

Max never sandbags. He’s made a name for himself for always being on it since the first lap of fp1 til the last lap of the weekend.

Not totally sure if this is on topic, but the broadcast on F1TV constantly talking and hyping up Kimi Antonelli annoys me. The kid is 17, can we focus on the F1 drivers racing in Bahrain instead...

Pretty sure Max did his laps with the engine turned off.

Yea after Toto's comments about not giving Lewis a longer contract because they didnt want to lose Kimi he's under a lot of pressure, everyone is going to be hyper-focusing on his performances now
