Four teams - Red Bull, Haas, Toro Rosso and certainly McLaren - will all surely have had quieter mornings out on track than they would have liked.
None of the four have yet reached 10 laps with their respective new cars.
Man that Merc looks phenomenal...
Mercedes main power is PU. I hope after retired token system it has gone. Keep calm and make laps not war :P
Because everything on their bodywork looks more detailed and refined. Look at the difference in the nose and rear wing areas. Ours looks very basic in comparison.

SkyF1 testing coverage is abysmal. Ridiculous, appalling. There is one photo of a Ferrari. Nothing else is there about Ferrari. Mercedes is everywhere.
Talking about balanced reporting. If anyone from sky, please tell them, they are loosing fans because of the appalling coverage.
Ferrari imposed a news black out until Wednesday, so we won't hear from the drivers...

The Ferrari SF70-H is back circulating the Circuit de Catalunya again, with Sebastian Vettel, still on the medium tyres, lapping in the low 1:24s.
Or, at least he had been, as the German has just clocked a new fastest first sector of all......although the lap ends up a tenth adrift of his earlier 1:23.560 effort.
Nothing has changed. The last 2 days on their website, the main headline was the video to the Mercedes car on track. Its ok SkyF1, dont worry about all the other cars that have been presented in the past few days. They are a joke and as long as Lewis is there they will continue to be a joke.
CUT ME. CUT YOU. BOTH OUR BLOOD IS FERRARI RED!
Haas has to start lapping. It could be good to have more laps to check our engine.
Not quite. Mercedes set their time at the beginning of an 18 lap run. Imagine if they trimmed it down to quali mode.
right now, i am more concerned about the number of laps than the times. we must keep on racking the laps as to also test the reliability of the engine.
Forza Ferrari
Ferrari looking twitchy in the last set of slow corners leading to the main straight...
F1 show biz 2016 :
Toto - "Ferrari are a real threat" .... Nico - "Awesome, everything is just awesome" .....Lulu - "Mental strength man, lifestyle man, I'll drive at 400% as ever man".... and then suddenly a wild Bull out of nowhere slams into a Ferrari.

A new fastest time of the day...and it's that Mercedes W08 again.
Valtteri Bottas lowers his own benchmark to 1:23.169.
quick update:
Day One Timesheet (10.48am UK Time): 1) Valtteri Bottas, Mercedes, 39 laps, 1:23.169; 2) Sebastian Vettel, Ferrari, 28 laps; 1:23.560; 3) Sergio Perez, Force India, 19 laps, 1:25.575; 4) Felipe Massa, Williams, 17 laps, 1:25.956; 5) Nico Hulkenberg, Renault, 22 laps, 1:26.319; 6) Carlos Sainz, Toro Rosso, 11 laps, 1:26.726; 7) Marcus Ericsson, Sauber, 16 laps, 1:28.235; 8) Daniel Ricciardo, Red Bull, 4 laps, 1:28.712; 9) Kevin Magnussen, Haas, 7 laps, No time; 10) Fernando Alonso, McLaren, 1 lap, No time;
Damn and 21 of those Ferrari laps are from the 2016 spec engine...Today's lap count by power unit:
Mercedes - 82 Laps
Ferrari - 63 Laps
Renault - 40 Laps
Honda - 1 Lap
it is totally understandable, but there are moments throught the coverage where your are like, "are you serious???? Theres alot more goin on besides Lewis right now!!!" You will find that you will have too many of these kinda moments, Sky just over do it with him too much imo
CUT ME. CUT YOU. BOTH OUR BLOOD IS FERRARI RED!
Its been a difficult few years being a Ferrari fan,
Good luck to our team! I hope 2017 is finally a better year.

Does anyone know of a Greek F1 site that gives each lap time on a stint. It is very useful. I cant find it anymore. Please help me.
