RichardInCA wroteAmazingly tight times among top teams in FP1: Ferrari, RedBull, Mercedes, RacingBull, Audi all within 0.6 seconds of each other!Great to see these times coming in for Fp1….still last year’s FP1 times were 1:17’s so were some way off that pace, but looking forward to seeing much bigger spread of times across the grid this year.
McLaren within 1.0 of the leaders, though struggling with electric and gearbox issues.
4 Haas and Williams are much further back.
4 CaddyRarris and Alpines are way further back, shuffling among themselves for the last 4 spots among those still running.
Williams was the first to break down with hydraulic pressure and cause yellow flags.
AM barely dirtied the tires before calling it quits.

Stroll did an out lap i think
Alo didn't show his face
Ricky from Ferrari is gone to drink more tea
RichardInCA wroteOrder restored: McLaren, Merc, Merc, Ferrari, Ferrari , RB, McLaren, RacingBull, RB. Then the rest.So far Ferrari and RB seem class of the field. Strong outing from Audi.
Looks to me like McLaren and Mercedes have been sand bagging until now.
CaddiRarri and AM may, or may not, qualify within 107%!
FP2 FTD is 1:19.729 with significant fuel load.
Looks like year's top quali time of 1:15.096 might be safe.

Autoaddict wroteIf you go to the race on the app and then scroll down you’ll find the sky feed - only available live I thinkAre any of guys watching FP1 with the Sky F1 commentary on Apple TV? I can’t seem to get that commentary only the international commentary even though Apple said they would have both feeds. Not a fan of the international commentary, pretty bland.
Oscar suddenly looking good! His stand was cheering. For P2!
Weather down here is so weird. T shirt weather in the sun. Genuine jacket weather in the shade.
Ooh. The V8s are on now! Finally some nice sounds.
Davil wroteCool picturesA few photos. Including when Fernando finally appears and interesting perspective shot of the pit lane. Plus my overall view.
Do you notice anything about the AMR cars as a spectator that they vibrate excessively? Different sounds?
Killed by Death wroteThe plate partially covering the exhaust outlet has got my attention.
M5Rick wroteFP2 : A rather uncomfortable moment for MAX at Turn 10 .I see some late braking with brakes that don't bite enough to stay on the track though probably just getting the feel of how far they can go.
Ough (!)

Did you see dopey RUS trying to push in and LIN putting his foot down standing for no nonsense: New wing needed for 63 being pushed back

The onboards look/sound like they lifted because of mistake, but they are still on push lap. It is so weird.
Full throttle but losing 50kph due to superclipping by end of straight. Max was lift and coast before turn 6, looks like he was backing off for cool down...but it is a push lap.
///M Power-Belgium wroteYeah that was a close call. Good save.FP2 : A rather uncomfortable moment for MAX at Turn 10 .

Last thing any of these teams need right now, is to right off a car.
Imagine this at tracks like Baku, Monza, Las Vegas, etc.
It is going to be bad.
Thanks
GuidoK for setting this upI'm calling it now, Checo and Stroll win the championship but because they knock each other out on the podium, Max comes in and just takes the trophy and walks home
In all seriousness though, for Australia I am predicting:
1. Max
2. Oscar
3. Lando
4. Kimi
5. Charles
Georgina to DNF still
Hope everyone is well
A few weeks ago I didn't expect these kind of major problems at AMR. At Williams...sure
M3WC wrotesuper clipping used to be called harvesting (recharging the battery). i don't understand why they have to have a hybrid that doesn't do anything useful. imagine if Aston Martin just took out the EV and just run on ICE and raced against these guys, could be just as fast!Examples of super-clipping during FP1 and FP2.

this is exactly why i don't buy PHEVs.
either you have a pure ICE or a pure EV.
