Go dam it Ferrari fans, pull back those red flags away

Sigh.. why is McLaren even running with DRS? That's not really testing, it's showing off.

McLaren fumbled the gearing last year hurting their top speed. They have to gauge their expected max speeds for the season to gear accordingly. It’s testing, they test things.

A weird incident. No spin, a streight line into the gravel. Strange.

The only possibility of that, could be because of a steering failure.

Looks like suspension or a steering arm to go straight on like that

[BrunoH]

yap very likely a steering failure

OR suspension OR a tyre failure like Hamilton in 2011(?) OR a stuck throttle

Where are the shots coming from? I know this is uploaded on Twitter, but it's as if there is somewhere that is showing the sessions live. Grasping at straws but ...

Looks like a technical problem to me. very strange to just go straight on like that with no deviation or attempt to turn. Or recover a snap or spin.
