    Mclaren- 3

    I really hope Mclaren's pace is on par with Mercedes. That would be fantastic.

    there is a strange whiff in the air from the Merc team. Is this F! trying to drum up some interest before the procession starts?

    I don't want to brag about :D but I got my predictions 100% right:

    1 - Verstappen would obliterate Perez.
    2 - Norris is undervalued.
    3 - Sainz is overvalued (even though he seems to be a nice person).

    The Ferrari's where hardly in view so can't really comment yet...

    However, Alpine doesn't look good at all, and Aston Martin underperforming. Ferrari may well be 4th/5th best with comfort, and Alfa behind them. Red Bull looking good, Merceds I don't trust them, Mclaren looking very good. Ricciardo has certainly made the right decision leaving the morons at Renault! Ferrari will likely be up there with Alpha Tauri

    It’s FP1....teams were doing 1:30’s on Meds during testing. Nobody’s showing a full hand yet. Red Bull is confident but wary. Encouraged by McLarens results. Ferrari not too far off either

    Because it’s quite possible that 5th and 8th are their full potential. I hope I’m wrong.

    But that's not "gloom and doom". McLaren's looking like it's come back from far worse than that..... Image Unavailable, Please Login

    It's the first hour of a 23 race season, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

    I understand that we won’t know where the Scuderia is truly at for a few races. I’m not feeling doom and gloom per se, I’m just saying 5th and 8th is nothing to do backflips over. The bigger picture is the D&G, potential Mercedes continued dominance in a sport tailored to their needs.
