Yes . You are reading this well . I said (600)! sensors !
Horner said : It was just like the first day at school , but today we learned already a lot about the new RB19 and by MAX's outstanding drivers performance .
157 laps is like 3 races , but MAX did it with a smile on his face .

157 laps and the 19 went like a train! That cut in wind tunnel time still stands but I'm feeling those 600 sensors are smoothing out the difference of losing that wind tunnel time.

No worries RB fans, Max is back in the afternoon today and ALL day tomorrow so let Fernie and Ferrari have some glory

Fun and games in the Drive2Survive, Wolff is hi blood pressure verbally attacking Horner for having a better car and seemingly blaming him for making the wrong choice with the 13! Mattia comes in to try to calm him down and Christian retorts at tots to get a new car

Okay..with Guanyu third in the Alfa at the mo it's obvious things will hot up as the testing continues, Horner has issued a warning to all the other teams that it will get hard for them.

Apparently Ricciardo wanted $10 mil minimum from Haas to drive for him this year and Steiner went into 'fok smash door' mode talking with Mags about it.

Back in the afternoon session with a change of drivers and Max takes charge with Carlos lagging over half a second behind. A quick Sergeant earning his stripes today in third in the Williams.
The RB was without the front wing earlier and some got a look into the tunnels leading at the floor section level.
So the gap is now 8/10's to Sainz as VER puts in a hot lap on yellows and everyone waits if there is a response from Ferrari.

RUS broke down on the track bringing out a red. So, HULK put in a blinder getting in front of Carlos though as I speak Fernie has snatched second and I feel Ferrari may not come out with their 'bomb' until the race. I think Fred will hold out and keep secret until then not wanting to let any more pace that may be out, he's also changed the strat guys around sending some back to Maranello for tuition.

Checo isn't doing Day 3?

[NYG]

I really hope Aston Martin isn't being a tease. The car genuinely looks good.

Max all day tomorrow and I'm sure Checo is not happy at all, probably thinking he's being sidelined but that's life.

Guess they changed it? I saw Max Day 1, Max Day 2 PM, Checo Day 2 AM, Checo Day 3

I would be happy if I was Checo.

If you listen to their radios during free practice Checo always gives very general answers of what the car is doing and what he needs.

Max will tell GP that he needs specific adjustments and very detailed car balance issues. He's the one that will make the car faster.

I stand corrected, Checo indeed is all day tomorrow.

Strange, Zho's Alfa stopped at end of pit lane unable to switch off the pit lane mode to go into race mode and was wheeled back to the pits with permission from the officials.
