Alonso is having flashbacks

Hello Sakhir. Here for the final day of testing.

The green flag is up now, after a temporary yellow.

What I have noticed too. The Honda engine is so disappointing. You can literally see the speed difference from the grandstands. Sandbagging ?! 🤷🏻‍♂️ we don’t know yet until the first qualifying day.

Hi guys again, And here we have the rear of the McLaren, truly exquisite and very well crafted. . #xaviimages #aeroporn #f1technicalphotographer #formula1 #F1 #BahrainTestF1 #grainingf1tech #F1Tech .

Another note, when the cars are doing practice starts, all the PUs are backfiring/popping except the Mercedes PUs. And the Audi PU is to fckn loud.

The Redbull car caught my attention here.

Yeah, the loudest car.

Honda popping Mercedes PU no pops

Long runs for Redbull and visacashapp now.

Some flow-vis now on the rear suspension of the McLaren.

I really need to do some drag calculation on the Ferrari cause truthfully there is something strange.

It’s not only the loudest but I have not seen one run with the PU is not in recharge mode in the straight.

The bulls are comfortable, they are on a higher power mode now.

The Merc till now did not come out!!!

Ferrari are doing a lot of start practice
