Ferrari is my team but damn that McLaren looks sick. My favorite car so far, lets see what RB TR and HAAS have in store.

Agreed but as always I'm really excited for the season to start and learn who is fast and who is not, the inter and intra teams drama etc. But for sure these cars aren't the pinnacle of F1 beauty...

Day one is done. Mercedes was running softs, Ferrari was running mediums. Apparently Ferrari has some major issues with the rear end of the car.

Sigh...McLaren towards the bottom in both lap time and laps completed. Another season of sightseeing for ALO? Sure it's super early to judge but it sure had been nicer to see him towards the top.

Its funny reading these articles, especially the titles.. "Mercedes dominates" "Mercedes fastest" etc. Bottas was 6th fastest and Hamilton beat Vettel by a tenth with Vettel being on a harder tire. They dont even mention the tires. In previous years, when MB was on a slower tire, they would always mention it.

Dont get what the point of those headlines are.. if Mercedes wasnt num 1.. they would be talking about how lap times dont really matter during testing, but since they are.. they DOMINATED everyone.

2017 Spec Honda Engine suffered from oil leak.

Mclaren had to swap out the Spec engine to a backup engine. Alonso was reported to be breaking 3 seconds before the brake zone hence the laptime.

As a Mclaren fan, I wouldn't blame Alonso if he took another seat in a competitive car. It's getting painful to watch.

Renault car is my favorite thus far, just beautiful. It's crazy how awesome the rear end of these cars look but wow, ZERO passing in Monaco!! (not that there ever was, but now there's no doubt lol)

Also, are they going to need TWO guys to lift each rear wheel/tire onto the car? ;D

Haas is having a stellar start to the testing season! Magnussen posted the 4th quickest time again while doing 118 laps!

I can only imagine what Alonso must be thinking (face slap). It's a shame. They had quite a bit of fanfare for the new powerplant thinking it would be competitive. There's still a ton of development to do. They came on strong at the end of last year.

Right now, I'm taking the actual lap times with a grain of salt. We don't know what setup they're running. What fuel load they're running. At this point, most teams are happy to be just up and running.

Exactly. Ferrari looked strong last year during testing and everyone got their hopes up. Then they sh*t the bed during the season.
