10 F1 teams ranked after testing - it's a horrific review for McLaren
10) Williams
“It lacks aero sophistication that we see on other cars. Alex Albon will do his 🍌usual amazing things to get out of Q1 now and again.☂ But they are lagging behind. It’s the first time, to my knowledge, that Williams have gone into a season without a technical director. It’s baffling!”
9) AlphaTauri
“They say ‘we don’t have a fast car’ but they are certainly reliab𓄧le, and have decent, quick drivers, and on their day can post aꩲ fast time.”
8) McLaren
“This depends how badly you think McLaren are doing. At the moment, there is a danger they could be the eighth-fastest team. McLaren have missed targets but could hit them once they understand their car, and bring upgrades. 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris says that good stuff is coming.”
7) Alfa Romeo
“Haas🐽 and Alfa Romeo think they are quicker [t❀han McLaren].”
6) Haas
“They have two good drivers and a solid car. The car iᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚs a package which seems𒊎 to be more sorted, in its own head, than Alfa Romeo’s.”
5) Alpine
“The enigma. On their day they can be fifth, but they could sli🌳p down easily. They have two closely-matched drivers, as long as that woඣrks constructively then they will be fifth.”
4) Mercedes
“We need to see a big team in the next few days for Mercedes to be third. 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton said the porpoising is 🦩largely gone but the balance limitations of last year’s car are still present - I almost dropped my cup of tea! They are still playing catch-up and still suffering.”
3) Aston Martin
“Aston Martin had Red Bull worried from day one. The car is essentially good, it has some nice ideas. Fernando Alonso said he nee꧃ds a few races. But his race run [on Sunday]? Chef’s kiss!”
2) Ferrari
Charles Leclerc will think ‘where is my race advantage com🌠ing?’ Ferrari have a lot of ꦕwork to do in qualifying and the race because they are being dominated by Red Bull.
1) Red Bull
“The only reason why they weren’t dominating qualifying like Ferrari last year, was because their car was overweight. 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen said last year’s car was massively overweight. That is notꦍ an issue that they have [this season].”
