Mercedes’ pace isn’t great. Sainz will be all over Russell now. Hamilton having a mare/battery issue.

This has RB 1-2 written all over it now. Ferrari struggling on tyres. All very depressing
Both Ferraris aren't struggling...
Leclerc doesn't seem able to prevent his front brakes from locking. Might be a brake issue.
Sainz seems to have no real issues. Sounds like Russell's PU is overheating, hence Sainz breezing past
just now.

RB continuing testing right now. Unfortunately no one will challenge at all this season.

Loving Sainz. Confident he can bring it all season if Ferrari allow. Not saying Leclerc is worse or anything, not like this all season. Sainz can bring it though. Only lost his seat to the 7 time champion and massive brand, no one else.

This is horrible to watch. Pure brilliance from RB, but the rest…..

This is it now until 26’

RB is more dominant than it was a year ago. At this point, 24/24 isn't a stretch for RB and for Max.

He thought he had PU/battery issue but apparently it was just depleted and it's recharged now and he's catching up McLaren slowly.

Having an empty battery at the start of the race is surely an issue.

Max's pace is just humiliating.
Sainz doing good.
Mercedes very disappointing.

Looking at Max's onboard his battery is always at nearly 100%, so not much deployment being used up.
