Since F1 is totally uncool about allowing embedding videos on other websites.... :irked::irked:

Horizontal camera pylon (testing - side of scoop) - is that asymmetrical, or was it a team camera for testing only?

My McLaren-loving heart is kind of in my stomach after FP1 and FP2.

Was an interesting race. Without trying to give away too many spoilers:

1) Happy for Ferrari - nice to see them competitive again.
2) Not the best debut for Red Bull Powertrains
3) Always love to see a new package - though I will say the jury is still out on how much 'raciness' it will have going forward.

Overall - great to have the cars running again. It will be interesting to see if anybody takes any steps forward next week.

Seemed like they could follow and pass better, although the DRS was super-powerful.

Word is Red Bull had fuel pump issues.

Interesting race, good to see the pecking order upset a little.

The racing was pretty good. The addition of a team to the top is good.

The cars - and this is true of all ground effects cars, but especially these giants - look a little clumsy and non-nimble. I'd sure love to see them go back to the previous width cars and tires now that we're back using ground effects.

I really like that the new wheels and suspension and ride heights mean they can't abuse the kerbs.

It does appear they can follow better than before. So there is hope that there will continue to be close racing. Looks like Williams and McLaren have gotten off to a bad start. Going to be quite interested to seeing what updates they come out with. But every team will do the same. Very impressed that Haas is no longer bringing up the rear. But they've had two years to develop this chassis, right?

Who was to blame for Red Bull’s Bahrain fuel pump failures? (https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/who-was-to-blame-for-red-bulls-bahrain-fuel-pump-failure/9188330/)

Magnussen might also feel like it's easier to follow closely because he's now actually fast enough to follow closely :)

Does seem like the racing was closer. Physics works as they thought.

Definitely shook things up. Nice to see Ferrari out front. And their car looks good too, unlike the Mercedes.
