To me it's encouraging the fact that Ferrari didn't take a step back with the developments introduced last year. Little by little Fred's influence is being felt. The strategy has improved and the number of errors have gone down. I'm less worried about them this year.
I hope Ferrari's pace is strong enough to put up a fight. The data of the long runs suggest that RBR is stronger on the C3, but Ferrari is stronger on the C1, which over a race distance puts them even. It's possible (and likely) that RBR have more pace in reserve, but the gap shouldn't be unsurmountable.
So is that 1m31.344 from Verstappen ominous or it's just preseason testing and times don't matter?
Props to you for grasping the concept of wet bulb temperature and getting why it's always lower or equal to the dry bulb temperature. It's not exactly obvious why that's the case.
