F1 2023 Season

Interesting, RedBull have had to raise the ride height of the car between testing and this weekend for it to remain within the legality box for the plank.

Odd thing to do really unless they were planning on running with that setup at the races.

I presume the wear on the plank was more than is legally allowed when it was measured after testing was finished and the fia asked them to raise it to remain legal for this weekend throughout.
 
Merc are looking decent again but I don't think anyone is going to show their true pace until Q3.
 
Wow if we can have 4 teams challenging across the season it could be fantastic!

Trouble is we will probably get false hope and someone will pull out a fantastic upgrade that leaves them dominating

McLaren are absolutely shocking what's going on there?
 
1,5 seconds already quicker than P3, right?
 
Under 0.5 seconds between the top ten, this is going to be good to watch.

So much for all the moaning doomsayers so far. 0.3 between the top 4 teams.

It's not q3 yet and even then, the race will tell us even more. Last season ferrari was quick over one lap but they often were more damaging to their tyres in the race which caused them issues.

Having said that here's hoping for a 4 way fight.
 
We are going under 1,30 here easily. 1:30.50 was pole last year I think.
 
Hulkenberg such a good driver, shame he was away for a while.
 
Red Bull sandbagging, giving everyone some hope before crushing it tomorrow.

Hulk and Ocon, damn!
 
I think the Haas has some great pace. The mid table could be so interesting this year.
 
Expecting RB to show their real pace now and smash this
 
This could be tight, Leclerc showing again his pace in qualifying, but they look slower than Red Bull for me definitely.

Mercedes' livery looks badass.
 
Ferrari was definitely sandbagging then, we'll see what Alonso can do.
 
Still pretty amazing from Alonso and AM, quicker than Sainz and Russel!

I really liked it in the photoshoot but I find in track footage the amount of bare carbon versus black paint looks a little less appealing. Almost like when you clean a black car poorly and leave swirls in the paint.
 
Wasn't a perfect lap from Alonso, but Leclerc and Verstappen were very fast.
