Bottom post of the previous page:
An hour and 30 minutes left of the morning session and guess who is fastest...... Yes it is the Flying Dutchman.Max did a 1:33.065, so within 0.8 of P1 in the Bahrain GP last year.
Mercedes are slow off the mark and sit 10th of the 10 drivers out running this morning. Near enough 3.5 off the pace. Of course way to early to make predictions for the year but it is an ominous sign with Max fastes. Ferrari and Aston both looking good and within just under 0.2 and 0.320 respectively. Then a second back to Piastri in the McLaren and a gaggle within half a second
Alonso and Yuki T lead the way on lap count, both on 38, just ahead of Max on 37. Merc only 19 so do thy have an issue. I havent been following that closely so dont know of any stories or problems.
Anyway, an update of the times set so far today.
