George Russell just told us in the pen that McLaren is so fast they can afford to switch focus to 2026 now with an advantage like this. Says the order and margins are as expected. Reckons it’s “all tyres” and they are doing “something pretty special” - look at final sector margin.

Nine things we learned from F1 testing day one

Early trackside impressions not to be read into too much beyond building an initial reference point for the week. I liked how the Red Bull looked, strong front end, especially being on a harder compound. Hamilton experimenting a little in the Ferrari, which looked good but not quite as consistent.

The new Red Bull looks just like the old Red Bull. And not in a normal 'evolution not revolution' kind of way. "It looks very similar," the team admits. But will that be the case by Australia - or even the end of the week? www.the-race.com/formula-1/sh...

McLaren’s dropped the first #F1 car reveal of 2025 with a special camouflage livery for a Silverstone shakedown. Clever getaround as the real liveries have to be saved for next week’s F1 75 event with all 10 teams. Williams is doing the same tomorrow - one-off livery on its actual 2025 car.

As a marker for the irrelevance of the laptimes, though it remains an amusing detail to include, after an equal number of 74 laps each today Leclerc was 1.8s faster than Hamilton. Pirelli even notes itself the times “have no real significance given the different work programmes” they carried out!

Scott Mitchell-Malm @scottmitchellmalm.bsky.social · 05/02/2025
Zhou Guanyu and Antonio Giovinazzi are Ferrari’s official #F1 reserve drivers for 2025. Bumps Dino Beganovic down the list. I still wouldn’t be surprised if Ollie Bearman steps in for Ferrari though, should Lewis Hamilton or Charles Leclerc be unavailable. Then Zhou/Giovinazzi could go in at Haas.

According to Pirelli, Hamilton set a slightly faster lap time than Leclerc (1m15.930s to 1m16.060s) - Norris more than seven tenths faster, such data largely meaningless. The programme focused on slicks with various combinations of construction and compound tested at the hardest end of the range.
