So is that 1m31.344 from Verstappen ominous or it's just preseason testing and times don't matter?
Mainly the later, no one else was really putting on soft tyres for a quick lap at the end.
I was under the impression that it was set on the medium (C3). Is that not the case?
You’re correct.
This I either no one else pushing, or an ominous sign of what’s to come this year.
It’s worth noting Max topped the charts in preseason as well though. And we all know Max doesn’t like being anywhere but the top.
Mostly doesn't matter because it's a light fuel run later in the day after track evolution, and other light fuel runs from McLaren and Ferrari had similar performances to the RB20.
There's still hope.
