Also thought these descriptions of the new F1 cars were interesting: • George Russell said you can feel the cars being smaller & the weight reduction • Isack Hadjar called the cars a bit more predictable & easier to play around with compared to previous gen All sounds great.

George Russell is pleased with his first day in the Mercedes W17 but says Red Bull has “clearly done a good job” with its power unit considering the number of laps they put in. Also mentions Ferrari’s mileage. “It's not quite how it was in 2014.”

Gabriel Bortoleto on Audi’s short day: “We found a couple problems that unfortunately put us out of the day already. It was expected, these type of things.” “It was a precaution thing as well. We decided to not run until we fully understand then to put the car back on track…”

Rain is expected in Barcelona on Tuesday (and indeed Wed and Thu), and that could impact which three of the five days the teams opt to run on. Here's Audi's Jonathan Wheatley: "I think it's interesting, because talk about the run plan, and all the teams are facing the same

Isack Hadjar on his first day in the RB22: “It was pretty productive. Surprisingly, we managed to do a lot more laps than we expected. Everything went pretty smooth. We had like only minor issues so it’s quite impressive considering it’s our first day with our own engine.”

Kicking off Day 1 in Barcelona! 💪 Who went out on track today, and what times did they first leave their garages? 👀 #F1

'@FranColapinto on the @AlpineF1Team A526: "At the end of the day, it's still a race car, and you need to drive it quickly within the grip that it's available, and that's very similar. But the technique is changing a little bit. The energy management, the tyres are much, much

Liam Lawson on Red Bull-Ford PU: “It feels good honestly so far today but it’s very hard to tell. The main thing is reliability & we’ve done a good amount of laps. … The only issues we really had today were safety precautions, not really any actual issues.” “So far on the
