The weather is always a drama queen at these F1 tests. I'm kinda surprised Ferrari was able to get so much done in those wet conditions. Leclerc's 66 laps are pretty impressive, especially considering he's new to the team.
On the other hand, Red Bull's decision not to show up on Monday looked like a major miscalculation. They lost some precious time and now they're playing catch-up.
Still, it's all about the data at this point, so fingers crossed that their car holds up in the real races.
I love how Lewis Hamilton is being cautious with his comments, but he still seems pretty optimistic about the team's progress. And Max Verstappen's performance wasn't too shabby either!
It'll be interesting to see how these teams shake out at the end of the test and how their performances translate to Melbourne next month.
It's all about being smart with your resources and gathering as much data as possible before the first race. The teams are gonna have to stay focused and adaptable if they wanna make a strong start to the season.
the rain just brought out the best in lewis hamilton, you know? he's like "okay, my car ain't working well but I got this" and he still manages to get some valuable info out of it. gotta respect that 
meanwhile, red bull is kinda screwing themselves over with that early exit. isack hadjar's crash was just a waste of time 
what's up with teams not taking enough notes from these tests? i mean, they're literally one day away from the first race and still trying to figure things out 
. i was a bit worried when i saw isack hadjar crash out, hope he's okay 
. but you gotta admire ferrari's Charles Leclerc for making the most of his time on track after that decision to take a day off. and it's good to see hamilton being cautious with his praise - we don't want any false hopes yet 
.
, Leclerc's 66 laps tho is insane lol, that's what i wanna see more of - the data they're gathering, i mean, Red Bull got robbed 
by not participating on monday. now they gotta make up for lost time? so stressful
