Sainz and Kvyat seemingly both on race sims, I think they both left within one lap of each other. So far, lapping quite similar times, Sainz slightly faster. Could be something to look for, especially if they both run a race sim.

Not sure about the tires.

Sainz just pitted to start his second stint on C2, first stint was on the dev tyre.

Sainz was on the Dev tire while Kvyat was on C4, I think.

Guys call me crazy but I am going to make a bold statement considering to what I see so far.

Mclaren will bring a big upgrade for Melbourne that he didn't had in the tests and that will close their difference from the first 3. Then I predict that one driver of each of the first 3 teams or maybe both won't finish the race and that will bring Mclaren to the podium.

Latest bashing from autosport, their "experts" completely underrated the car.

I don't trust them with tire information.

They don't have the update 'cause it's running late, that's not a great sign for bolting it on and winning Melbourne ;)

Mclaren seems to be exactly where their internal targets were - in the midfield pack and showing enough pace that they might be in front of it by Summer break, if so, that's a great job.

Piola is a bit of a joke in this video. He rates Mclaren with 6, and he says that because he is angry at their decision to make a size zero car in 2015, but he gives Williams 6,5 because he has warm feelings for Patrick Head from the past.

Yep, i didnt like autosport videos before (because there was majority of just jibberish without any decent data or pictures), now i know they are not worth of my time.
If i would get the money to start my own F1 team, i would revive Arrows

What's the delay in running?
They seem to always come out late after lunch, I wonder why...
Big meals? Maybe that's what's causing the balance problems :mrgreen:

Then they will bolt it at Melbourne and test it on Friday. That is what the test days are.

If it makes it to Melbourne, do you think it'll be on both cars, or are we going to see the habit of one driver getting the new bits a la Fernando and Stoffel?
