Can Bottas take the Mercedes totaly today to 200 Laps!!! only needs 6 more

[TheGkbrk]

That can be considered as a quick lap from Fernando.

[godlameroso]

I still don't think that's the maximum the car has though, which is encouraging. 1:16.720 fastest lap of the test!!!!!!!!! Alonso can compete!!!!!

[ollandos]

1.16.7 alonso?!!!!!!!!!!11111

[max_speed]

Is this possible?

A 1:16.720 from Alonso and McLaren! --- glory run bring it on

@GoranF1 must be having the biggest smile a human must have had in a decade.

[godlameroso]

I saw this in a dream 5 years ago, it can't be a coincidence.

He cut the track!

[adb]

Chicane cut

[marmer]

Well if he did cut the track it's funny as according to tyre delta Mercedes could make that time so even cutting McLaren wouldn't get pole if the race was now

He cut the track!

Alonso will win this year...even though he cut that corner.

Even i share your view as i foresee some great Alonso battles this year.

[ollandos]

even looks like mclaren has little more from this 1.17.7 ..

dnt forget .6 second reserve he brings on f1 weekend. lets hope we can see alonso on top step again. wish to have a fight on display. enough of boring f1 seasons.
