Very few laps so far , I don´t know if they have an issue or they are just taking a relaxing start.
Who, Haas? No need to rush. They had all of last year to test this car. :twisted:

Anyone else having issues with the F1 TV stream? I'm on ~800mbps connected via ethernet cable and still having small hickups every couple of seconds. Tried multiple browsers too.
I think three times, on 8mbps (!) connected via ethernet cable

They're changing the gearbox, just as Mercedes.

Was thinking the same thing. If only they had a nice bright neon green highlight on the car somewhere...
In fact, three cars look dark/black from the front.

Mercedes
Aston Martin
Alpha Tauri

Really unfortunate. All have similar or the same font color. From the side it isn't so bad, but head on view is tough. Crofty will get confused a lot.
Head on it's very tricky. Annoying

I hope Mick doesn't get to choose his tree letter abbreviation. He should be SCH just as all other drivers use three first letters of their surname. If this is driver choice we'll get random stuff in the future.

I am surpised to see low number of laps pre-lunch on Day1 considering there are only 3 days of testing and largely its a same car as last year. Would have expected everyone to have bolted close to 3 digit laps by now

First red flag. Leclerc stopped with what sounded like a misfiring engine.
