Very much mixed fortunes for the teams, the Merc/Aston issues great running from the Honda teams really stoking the fires of a possible championship battle that we have not had in realistically 10 years! So we all hope!

Great running from most of the other 6 midfield teams, Mclaren with the most exciting line up on the grid, the return of Alonso who was metronomic on track and it really is a pleasure to have him back in Formula 1!

However testing always carries the disclaimer of take everything with a pinch of salt, fuel loads engine modes and good old sandbagging are all at play! But first blood Red Bull.
