..............and guess what, it was a RED one but of course.
Where are you seeing 4 seconds Paul? Your right about the tyres, but the gap between Ricciardo (1:20.179 seconds) and Fred (1:22.354) is ~2 seconds by my maths? Still a huge gulf in F1 terms, but I still remain optimistic that McLaren and Alonso will perform OK this season. I do feel it is unrealistic for them to immediately make up the gap to Red Bull who after all have 3 years of experience working with the Renault engine.

Problems at McLaren again. Gasly did 59 laps, only Bottas has more with 72.
During the first test week in Barcelona Toro Rosso did the most laps with 324. The car seems to run and they've able to gather the desired data I guess. In the first races reliability is more important than speed. Let's see how they do next week. Force India and Haas seeem to be in trouble...
Predictably, Mercedes are looking ominously fast and reliable.
Good mileage for both Toro Rosso and McLaren yesterday.
