The on track debut for the 2026 cars was all about establishing reliability, gauging the new systems and developing a baseline of understanding - so what did we, and the teams, learn?
The Mercedes lap numbers are quite ominous. It reminds me of their peak dominance years when they would show up to testing and just put in lap after lap with no issue.

Ominous is definitely the word - very good signs coming from them, but we have to imagine there’ll be more to come from other teams in Bahrain! 🤔
I think McLaren will have more to bring, and RB has a good base to build from.
