Would be a first in the World Championship era.

First podium as well, legit podium anyway.

Heard someone zooming round the track today, but we won't know we're getting close until the helicopters become unbearable haha

Let’s hope Oscar has the pace to beat his teammate regularly this year. Norris was reported to be quite a bit quicker at testing apparently. Time will tell.

Don't go by testing times.

Don't go by testing times.

Correct.

FWIW i think Ferrari will be faster than they showed too.

A lot of testing reports seem to summarise the predicted pecking order as

McLaren fastest slightly
Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes near behind, but could be a track specific thing.
Williams big improvers in mid field, could be the contender for 5th
Haas, Alpine and RB probably similar to where they were last year (scrapping for points)
Aston Martin and Sauber appear to be destined for quite a few Q1 exits this year

Not far off I reckon but you can always back Alonso to get a truck into Q3 almost as well as you can back Stroll to get a half decent car stuck in Q1.

I have it as
McLaren

Ferrari
Red Bull
Mercedes


Williams (driver lineup trumps Alpine as a tiebreaker)
Alpine

RB
Aston Martin
Haas

Sauber

After all this time...

The heat is going to play as much of a factor on Saturday as any rain might on the Sunday.....maybe more.

 

[Barrybran]

I'm down for a wet grand prix. Bring on the carnage.

Don't go by testing times.

I’m not just going by testing times. Lando was faster than Oscar in most races last year. I’m hoping Oscar has learned to manage the tires even better for this year and can find the pace to match and beat Lando, coz I’m confident in a title fight Oscar will have the edge mentally.

You are wasting your time comparing teammates times in testing, day vs night is a huge difference laptime wise

FP1 starts at 12:30 tomorrow, if you want to join the board's F1 tipping comp then post your predicted top 5 by the race before FP1 starts

Plenty of this sort of thing on the weekend (and all season) please McLaren.

Only if it is for Oscar.

An Australian winning the title in a McLaren...might just about end me.

 

[Bradesmaen]

The weather forecast makes me think Max will win, but I want Oscar of course.

 

[Aussie pie]

The question is how much more biased can sky be this season? They have another Brit to gush over this season and the LH situation. I’ll start a swear jar every time I swear at Sky F1, it could be expensive.

 

[DamoESP]

Less than 10 mins in and cars already going quicker than FP1 last year.
