[Valeo]

Surprised he can stay in touch with the cars in front for the first 8 laps tbh.

He started on used mediums fwiw.

[Valeo]

Pace is pretty fine untill now

[AR3-GP]

He’s catching Russell and dropping Hamilton.

[Valeo]

Top 3 are too fast but that's a reason to be more optimistic now.
The starts are more of a worry.
Both struggled again.

[Emag]

The improvement is very real. They had deg issues as well with the previous platform. This is looking miles better.

[AR3-GP]

What is this pace? He’s just slingshot into the back of Russell and dropped Hamilton and his tires are older than everyone else.

[Valeo]

I liked that!

[AR3-GP]

That was extremely positive.

[CjC]

I’d be very encouraged if I was a Red Bull fan.
I can see Verstappen winning a race again sometime soon

[Badger]

Maybe half a second off McLaren on pure pace, but probably the best deg of anyone which is encouraging.

[Juzh]

Positive developments, even if Russell maybe had some problems. With next updates they need to add a lot more load on the car so they dont lose 0.5s in high speed all the time.

That was exaggerated because of deployment differences. If you look at the sprint I'd say the real gap to McLaren in S1 is more like 2,5 tenths.

Pffttt… getting away is still very hard. I assume it is software.
