I think so the cars are more or less the same from last year with what they were allowed to develop. Mercedes didn’t have a great test but I think will come good when the real action gets going.

Will it be another procession for Hamilton?
I genuinely hope not but I've been burned before by the winter testing giving the impression of a competitive season only for the Mercs to just disappear into the distance come race weekend!
I'm going to remain optimistic though and say it will be a brilliant season (I genuinely hope it is because its a ridiculous number of races this year, if everything is done and dusted half way through its going to be very dull).
Sounds like Red Bull are starting with the better car this year so maybe there'll be a big fight between Verstappen and Hamilton.Will it be another procession for Hamilton?
If so then Haas seem like the old City. :-)Having watched the latest season of DTS, I can't help but feel similarities between Racing Point/Aston Martin and Man City.
Nouveau riche side that's frowned upon by established elite. Makes it way up the charts through money and smart planning and management. An owner/CEO that's relentless about winning. The other more historical teams ganged up to have them punished over something that only broke the rules retroactively.
Lawrence Stroll even said that he wouldn't tolerate other team's failings as an excuse to bring his own team down. Just like Khaldoon.
I'll be interested to see this year if any of the "no.2" drivers upset their team's apple carts this year. Maybe Sainz? Probably not though.

When I was backpacking around Australia in the early 2000's I was in Melbourne for the Grand Prix and in the teams pen picture things in the programme there was a section on Minardi. I'll never forget the opening line of their bit - 'Imagine being a fan of Manchester City when your neighbours are one of the most famous brands in World Sport, sweeping all before them whilst you struggle and stumble from crisis to crisis, well that's what it's like to be the Italian Minardi team in a sport dominated by Ferrari'. Always had a soft spot for them after that.

Great P2 session, which is the only one run at the same time that Quali and the race are, so the most relevant.
Max fastest by 0.1s from Lando Norris and 0.2s ahead of Lewis. The top 16 are all within 0.9 of 1st.
Bodes well, so far.

Not watched for a few years but think I'll give this season a go. Hopefully there's more competition in it this time round rather than the usual foregone conclusion

Verstappen looked good. very comfortable in his car. Warner will be keeping an eye on mercedes poaching him next year.
I Suspect Hamilton will retire after this season. As some F1 media outlets seem to be briefing against him already.
