Divebombing Ricciardo on cool down lap after the race is over just shows Yuki isn't ready for the Red Bull seat.

Well thats just a little depressing. I suppose there is some fools hope that one of meec, ferrari or mclaren do some super development to get close to RB. But unlikely. Please bin Perez we at least need a lewis/nico dynamic at RB to keep us interested until 2026 Would love to know what you're smoki...

- Let's see if Haas have taken care of their tyre deg & if Hulk can finish in the points. Ditto for Ferrari if their tyre deg issues have been resolved. - Checo has to at least finish third if not second otherwise this could mark the beginning of his exit from Red Bull. - Russell if he gets a lightn...

Not good for Alpine :uhoh: I suspect they're going to be awful in the races but decent showing for Haas there. Based on this session, the bottom of the grid pecking order over one lap looks to be: 7. Williams 8. Haas 9. Stake/Alfa 10. Alpine There's a slight speculation Alpine may wind up from F1 &...

Difficult for Perez though in a car that requires a driving style completely different to his preferences
The car if anything looks more understeery right now which definitely suits Perez's style.

Perez is much closer to Verstappen in race pace but qualy will matter this year more than 2023.

Now we’ve seen quali sims in this session, I’m prediting this top six for qualifying: 1. Leclerc 2. Sainz 3. Verstappen 4. Russell 5. Norris 6. Hamilton Perez's poor qualy form will affect him even more this season as other cars seem closer. Verstappen will be able to make the most of his RB20 to s...

Haas look absolutely miles off. Maybe seeing these numbers is what caused them to sack Steiner.
What was that about Andretti not being competitive enough to join?

Haas & Alpine really wasting precious grid slots & not allowing other prospective teams to join in.

Within the top three teams, Perez looks the most vulnerable. He's the slowest when it comes to medium shod cars from top teams & his race pace isn't looking good when compared to Ferrari & Mercedes cars. He has to forget about trying to better his last year's WDC position & just concentrate on finis...

Verstappen going fastest before calling everything ‘sh*t’ probably isn’t a good sign for everyone else.

This was expected but Mercedes starting off well is a pleasant surprise.

A lot of experienced F1 folks believe Mercedes is second in the pecking order.

Mercedes at least has a good start to keep some hope for resurgence.

If Red Bull decide they want Albon and Albon wants to go back then I don't think a one year contract with Williams would prove an unsurmountable hurdle to overcome. Albon had said something which many people took notice of. He had said Verstappen loves his car quite sensitive. This for most drivers...

Don't remember when was the last time when there was a potential empty seat in two of the top 3 teams. Mercedes seat & Red Bull's second driver seat because as of now it's 50/50 Perez will be retained. Ricciardo has to comprehensively beat Tsunoda to be a candidate for the second seat as per Marko. ...

Aside from Perez and Ricciardo who are realistic options for the second Red Bull seat?
Sainz who has to be seen as better than both.

I think Marko had said in an interview that when Sainz & Verstappen were team mates, the environment between them had turned toxic.
