I predict Alonso to be 0.6 faster then fastest Mclaren quali time. :o
Don't you mean 6 seconds? I know you and your other self (alogoc) regard Fernando as a divine being.
That is correct Ben. Alonso is bigger than F1, he is everything, beginig and end. He is the one.

That can only be said of Ayrton Senna...

Alonso is no doubt one of the f1 greats but why must we blow it out of proportion every time, which apparently only undermines his abilities. He'll test the car next week and it's because he brings a plethora of knowledge and still is a crucial member of the Mclaren group. End story.

Vype is an e-cig. Considering that tobacco advertisement is allowed in China, Monaco and USA, we might see 555 or Lucky Strike on the cars.
No because there is still a ban on Tobacco advertising in F1.

Favourite team: McLaren

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

There would have to be a whole lot of DNFs and timely safety cars.
Q: (Stefano Mancini – La Stampa) Kimi, will you help Vettel to win his championship this year?
Kimi Raikkonen: I can only drive one car, obviously.

Nothing too special. Lando said that it took him quite some time to get used to Melbourne, which affected his feedback to the engineers.

Sainz seems to be best of the rest for this First Practise and closer to the Red Bull than in Australia. Is Bahrain more representative about the true performance of each car? Also have we closed the gap at all from Ferrari and Mercedes compared to last year?

FP1 isn't really indicative of anything, everyone was running aero tests.

The same could be said for us also. Still it is better than Australia's FP1.

Some people seem like to look for excuses to downplay Mclaren.
