I can’t tune in, I’m assuming red bull hasn’t put the car together backwards, which means they’ll be 6 tenths up the road from everyone else, but how do Mercedes and Aston Martin look with their fancy upgrades?
Merc look surprisingly poor right now, but I’d back Stroll to maybe have a podium shot if Ferrari bottle it, as is tradition. Stroll 5th, Hamilton 10th, and Russell 16th as of this comment. Alonso way back in 19th.
Should be noted that Merc didn’t touch their softs. I don’t know that it completely explains away the poor results, but it is remarkable and I think we’ll see some better times from Hamilton and Russell in FP2 and FP3.

Almost 8 tenths up, right now. Ferrari and RB currently top 4. HAM 7th, RUS 12th, with 36 minutes to go.
Bless you
