Yo! Long time no see errbody, hope all is well and if not hope things get better soon.

Nice to see F1 back, hopefully they take maximum precautions.

Merc looking great in black, both aesthetically and purpose-wise.

Just saw that bit of Mattia being interviewed. Sounds juicy. It's like they just pulled the plug on Seb with intention.

Likely situation, Sebastian declared that it would be number one or bust. Then Ferrari were like Ok. Bye.

It doesn't seem like that at all because Seb said he was surprised with their decision. If he had given an ultimatum, then he wouldn't be surprised because he would know the outcome. Seb said he was surprised that they hadn't even prepared any offer for him, let alone discuss number one or two. In addition, Ferrari were talking with Sainz since December - that's a long time ago.

All very well, but Renault need a driver, so why isn't Vettel banging on the door there (or is he?).

Seeking logic from an "ex-partner" seems most pointless!

wtf listen to honda sound onboard if you can

I can't. What about it (the sound)?

it seems the mics cant handle it

Thank you @Juzh.

THAT is not going to make the Redbull and Ferrari Teams happy I'm sure there will be protestors to something'.

[Mansell89]

Ferrari really up against it here with Racing Point, Renault and McLaren all looking handy. Could be some fight come Sunday.

Don’t think anyone is in the Mercedes ball park thus far.

It's almost like they should hire a third party that actually knows how to make a website. For the amount of money it generates, you would think it would be a priority to actually make it work.

I'd bet a good chunk that the Pink Pig team have made sure they've got a full paper trail for the design of their car. Nothing in the rules says you can't copy another team's details - that's a civil issue of copyright. If Mercedes don't take an action, no one else can.

[Wynters]

Also, Red Bull have lodged a protest about DAS. Just talking about it on Sky. Horner is talking about it like a hypothetical protest as he would do, but sounds very much like it's been done.

If I was Merc, I'd have lodged a protest against myself today so I'd know what the outcome would be before Quali. Otherwise, someone would definitely protest it for the race and that's a much greater risk.

Oh well I'm sure Redbull and Ferrari will be faster then Racing Point very quickly but Perez being able to confidently fight for P5 is great news for a small team like PINK// Mercedes

They can't protest themselves, but they could get Williams, for example, to do it for them.

Those 3 teams are promising a more racy midfield indeed, looks like they closed the gap a lot.
Red Bull swings between being in this fight and little closer to Merc.
Ferrari still understeery in that middle sector.
