Ferrari made a massive step in race pace vs last year (~1.4s/lap), but the RB20 is the car to beat!🏆

They had the same pace over a race distance However, Verstappen had minimal tyre wear (even on the softs!), indicating that he was not even pushing 100%😳 Crazy consistency👌

    Ferrari tends to look good in testing, but fail to deliver.

    Would be great if we at least get good fight for second place.

      To me it’s encouraging the fact that Ferrari didn’t take a step back with the developments introduced last year. Little by little Fred’s influence is being felt. The strategy has improved and the number of errors have gone down. I’m less worried about them this year.

    I’m hyped for this seson to start! Very curious to see where all teams will be after the first couple of races. Many new car designs, Hamilton sitting out his last year at Mercedes, great stuff!
