I've analysed the top speed in ALL the THOUSANDS of laps done in testing...
Here are the results!💡
- Highest: 329 km/h by 🟠PIA (D3, DRS + Tow)
-Highest on average: 316km/h by 🔵ALB (D3, DRS)
Williams scored the highest top speed on average on EACH day: ALB D1, SAI D2, ALB D3. Higher engine mode, less drag, or both? 🤔
Top speeds were higher on the last day, and overall similar between day 1 and 2.
Haas’ focus on long runs is evident by their low top speeds in the first two days (DRS not used).

PREVIEW - Australian GP
Performance here is different than on other tracks! 🎰
No long straights, few fast corners and strong braking points ➡️Medium downforce level.
Lateral grip more important than longitudinal.💡
Softest compounds (C3 to C5).
Critical tyre: rear left 🛞🔥
What's YOUR prediction? 🤔

Australian GP - Wing Thursday!
🔴 Ferrari going all-in on the 4 DRS zones: their upper plane is the most loaded among the top teams!➡️Should aid with quali perfo and tire wear but might make them easy to attack in the race.💡
🟠 McL's is much less loaded.
⚫️ Merc is in between the 2.
🔵 RBR: shallower, but full-width, lower plane.
Fascinating choices! 🔥

AUSTRALIAN GP - FP2 DATA 📊
1) SECTORS:
🔴 LEC was quick everywhere, already demolishing 🔵 VER's 2023 pole (0.293s quicker).
TSU, DOO, PIA got the fastest sectors, however!
2) TOP SPEEDS:
Minimal drag for 🟣Alpine (and 🔵RBR).
Mercedes and Williams ran draggy wings and didn't turn up the PU to compensate.
3) 🔴LEC vs 🟠PIA:
Were head-to-head until the last corner, where LEC gained 1 tenth through a 6km/h-higher minimum speed!
Everyone expects McL to be quick, but Ferrari should be a threat, too. 💡
We're in for a fascinating Australian GP!

2) 🟧PIA +0.161
3) 🟥LEC +0.219
4) 🟦VER +0.275
5) 🟥HAM +0.307
Mercedes, onHards, matched McL! Either the Hards are a superior racing tyre, or Mercedes will be quick.
Excellent Ferrari deg: look at their laptime progression!
Race will be likely wet, but in the dry, at least 3 teams look competitive.

Sainz's long run was excellent! The '25 Williams seem to be genuinely quick: he was just 1-tenth per lap slower than HAM and 4-tenths quicker than the Astons!

This season start is:
- A nightmare for Ferrari;
- A dream for Williams (and sweet ‘vengeance’ for SAI);
- A continuation of ‘24 for McL, but without their opponent;
- Positive for RUS;
- Yet another proof that VER makes the difference.
Ferrari’s top speed was the same as McLaren’s, and their performance in the fast corners was no better.
This means that they didn’t sacrifice quali performance due to a rain-focused setup.
(Track is unrepresentative and this is just Quali.)

Australian GP - Qualifying
Strengths and Weaknesses (Best Laps)
Has Ferrari made a gamble?
Top Speed↔️Drag
Min. Speed @ T9/10↔️Downforce
🟠McL's high drag was worth the gain in downforce
🔵RBR had the lowest drag AND solid downforce
🟢Mercedes lacked downforce
🔴Ferrari was draggy yet still lost in cornering/traction to McL
LEC: "We must have lost a bit of performance. It's the right thing to do for this weekend, but I don't want to go into details" ➡️Wet-focused setup?
Likely not in terms of downforce (Ferrari had the most loaded wing, yet its high-speed cornering was not better than McL's or Red Bull's).
He could be referring to the suspension setup instead. This would explain:
- The sudden lack of pace;
- Their cornering performance deficit despite the loaded wing.
Scuderia Ferrari could be screwed, or could have made the right gamble: the race will tell!
