Any news on the ferrari problem ?
Carlos in the car getting ready to come out. Under 2h after the issue during the last session, I think that indicates that it wasn't a full PU write off.
Dust storm conditions btw. so limited useful running at this point.

It's not how start but how you finish.
Engine is fired up. Sainz will soon be on track.
Getting pretty obvious that Mercedes writes the rules, gives them to the FIA and makes sure no one else can catch up or innovate themselves (frozen engines, tokens, DAS etc.)
Toto has his hands and assets everywhere, Williams, Aston Martin, Mercedes...he is a very smart man.
~FORZA FERRARI~
Sand is all over the track! Visibility is very poor!
Gio is third !!
It's just not the part of testing where you flex. During the first day, they mostly test for some constant speed laps (for being under the safety car), letting the driver get the feel of the car and some amount of setup flexibility. Since the engines aren't being pushed to their limit and ideal setups haven't been found yet, it'll seem like sandbagging anyway. What I find interesting is, Ferrari already has gained 2-3 km/h DESPITE all those conditions.

What's the general feedback from on boards, journalists comments etc???
A friend of mine told me that he does see it very stable compared to others ????
FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!
Mercedes are having a bad testing day 1 for both drivers.
It's not how start but how you finish.

I'm not so sure about not reading a lot into today. I mean, there are only three days of testing this year so I'd say today is pretty indicative. It should be, anyway.

116 laps completed. Apart from that one little technical problem, I think we can be reasonably happy with today's program.
