    Remember, it’s only testing. Times don’t mean much until the last session of the last day when they.just go for it. If your team goes slow, they’re sandbaging. Good luck.

        Yeah I think there is a misunderstanding. I know that the full time drivers will be the one driving. Usually there is a list on the f1 site of which driver drives in which session as only one car is allowed per team. There wasn’t one on the site yet so the question

    Did I miss anything? Did everyone forget and return to reddit during silly season?

    So is that 1m31.344 from Verstappen ominous or it’s just preseason testing and times don’t matter?

      Mainly the later, no one else was really putting on soft tyres for a quick lap at the end.

          You’re correct.

          This I either no one else pushing, or an ominous sign of what’s to come this year.

          It’s worth noting Max topped the charts in preseason as well though. And we all know Max doesn’t like being anywhere but the top.

      Mostly doesn’t matter because it’s a light fuel run later in the day after track evolution, and other light fuel runs from McLaren and Ferrari had similar performances to the RB20.

      There’s still hope.

    Are they streaming this year’s testing? Or still being dumb?

    E. Nvm I found a stream.
