Sorry, but I’ve got to have a small rant here, and I know it's the first race weekend. Yes, we’re at one of the worst tracks for energy harvesting and recharging, but seeing cars slow down massively halfway down a straight just isn’t F1. I don’t really have a problem with the chassis rules or the aero (if you look past the active aero). The problem is clearly the PU regs. A 50/50 or 53/47 split was always going to be difficult once they removed the MGU-H. These cars are energy-starved. They could go much quicker through T9-10, but the PU just doesn’t allow it. The cars are lighter, more nimble, and generally look nicer to drive than the stiff, low-to-the-ground ground-effect cars from recent seasons. With a different engine split — something like 65/35 or 70/30 — they could’ve been really nice.
I’m willing to give these cars and regs until the summer break to see how it plays out. But I had doubts before testing — and I still do.

Lewis was on the old engine this weekend, were both on the old engine? Did Ferrari not use the newest ADUO 2 engine this weekend? Interesting insight from Lewis.

With the current rules you can’t go side by side through multiple corners. Be first at the apex and you can’t just shuffle the other car out. It’s the rules, I don’t like it but it is what it is.

Debris on track in T2/3 as well. That has to be cleaned up.
