Is it the engine of Mercedes is very good or McLaren and others don't have clear understanding of using it

If this is the case where Mercedes is running away with Championship with their engine will Formula 1 give ADUO to other engine manufacturers otherwise it's not worth watching any of races further.

Formula 1 changes the rules on tyre just to punish Ferrari and Bridgestone as it was running away with the championship for consecutive seasons. They have to do something quickly otherwise it has become quite boring as there is no chance of upgrades in engine side
Given that the gap is a massive 8 tenths for the second race in a row, they will have to do something.

Missing out most fp1 due to work, how is it working? Are they testing with just one driver??

It's on both cars but lewis was having issues with tires being too cold the whole session, specifically the front right and there seems to be something odd going on with their rpms

Both drivers did not looked dialled in at all. Charles struggling to get the car turned in and Lewis looked to have issues under braking. Maybe that software gremlin rearing it's ugly head again?

Not sure a frequently interrupted FP1 was enough to properly test this wing. Hopefully sprint quali works out still, but they seemed to have a lot of deployment issues

The new wing is nice, but it appears to close a little too slowly compared to other teams' wings. That might have caught out HAM when he had issues and spun. F1TV was saying the Ferrari drivers may have to manually close the wing earlier than before to allow it to fully close and reattach at the same point it used to. Sounds more like software to me.

They are using the regular wing again. One FP definitely wasn't enough and it seems like it was causing a lot of instability. Not great to go into SQ without having tested the car here without it..

Lewis is massively struggling in SQ2. Leclerc with actually a very solid lap, he said he made a big error in the final corner

Leclerc thinks he had a battery problem on the final straight (according to his radio)



They had him to do an extra lap in SQ2 to check for anomalies
