Pre-season testing lasted just three days and leaves many with even more questions than before the test. The same is valid for Pirelli, as weather conditions have somewhat reduced the potential usefulness of the collected tyre data.

Seems they shift at little bit later/ rev a little longer now? Third gear also seems to be very close to fourth. Am I the only one thinking this?Juzh wrote: ↑13 Mar 2021, 21:23bottas fastest lap of testing so far: 1.30.289

Historically, with Bahrain being one of Merc’s worst circuits (being rear-limited), this bodes well for them. McLaren looking sharp. Ferrari breaking my heart.

Bah. Every pre-season test is a lot like this. People thinking/hoping that one team or another passed mercedes.foxmulder_ms wrote: ↑13 Mar 2021, 18:50This is sad to see for Merc. As a merc fan, my favs for this year is redbull.
Aside from the low top speed, he got 18% of ERS left when he crossed the finish line, so obviously not even close to full engine power. In Q3 it was usually 1-3%.Juzh wrote: ↑13 Mar 2021, 21:23bottas fastest lap of testing so far: 1.30.289

Then, after a few races in, when they demolished everyone, people switch to talking about that the season is in the bag for them...
