    The merc looks like you need to turn in twice in every corner.

    Latifi is an idiot.

    Stroll has no talent.

    Vetted is unlucky.

    Ricciardo.. why park you car for 5mins and let all temp out of brakes and tyres other than to cook bloke the others? Pointless.

    Haas. So does this say best engine has no impact here in melbourne? Gone from hero's to zeros in one trip.

    Finally it's all changed red bull now have 0.25 second over ferrari.

    With respect super models say anything more than a champagne flute is a waste.

    However most men would admit they've no interest in thunderbolts who look like 10 year old boys and active like Russian oligarchs daughters attacking a chanel bag.

    We'd all rather be in a nice big sidepodded ferrari I'm sure.

    Also. Alonso sector 2 absolutely nailed to a rail round there.

    Only 0.2 off verstappen.

    Verstappen as bad as stroll.

    3 place grid penalty in bound.

    Clearly pulled over for car and wandered back out prior to being passed.

    Silly silly silly.

    Seems you can push harder for longer with the ferrari.

    The skinny model merc seems to start well then get very uncomfortable as you go on.

    Perez also under investigation for not slowing under yellows.

    That ferrari is quite bouncy though... jiggly.:bandit:

    The Ferrari is thick, hot and can easily perform well for three sessions.

    Bottas also out of top 10 so that's all the ferrari cars under performing here

    Does this now give evidence that the ferrari is best engine generally but none are doing as well in high downforce mode?

    Red bull is slammed to the floor, absolutely slammed

    And that Merc is an absolute bucket. Maybe the lack of updates is them just starting again.

    To think that Merc didn't develop last year's car so much to focus on this.. and this is what they built. Makes you wonder how much the staff exodus to RBR has hit them.

    Ferrari in its naughty red knickers slams one in.

    Alonso hits the barrier

    Would have been funnier if Vettel's speeding in the pit lane fine had been on the moped.

    Mr Saturday again.

    On the radio pushing for Hamilton to move on then smashes his time.

    Hamilton career over.

    That bouncing by Hamiltons merc was horrid
