It's true that there were particular circs yesterday, though: VR going out early before the track conditions improved, but using up the tyre, then it raining just as they were going to up the pace with a second one. But in general I think it's a measure of how scarred we all are by last season that anything like top-6 is cheering. I find that pretty dispiriting tbh.

They've got nothing meaningful done today, given the further rain; more is forecast for tomorrow; and VR has been told that parts he'd hoped for in response to the testing at Sepang 1 won't be ready until 3 or 4 races into the season. So for all the optimism from the first tests I fear we're in for more disappointment, with the factory Ducs racing the best of the rest again. I'd love to be wrong.
