1) A great thing to return to Bluesky to reply to
2) It’s definitely said knowingly but also sort of semi-automatic at this point, which perhaps reflects how much Cliches culture has seeped into my brain!

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.

I’ve been quickly won over by Gabriel Bortoleto off-track early in his #F1 career and he made a very strong impression again today dealing with a Helmut Marko appraisal of him: www.the-race.com/formula-1/ga...
Bortoleto’s perfect Marko rebuttal is a great first F1 impression
A firm response from Gabriel Bortoleto to Red Bull’s Helmut Marko appraisal of him means the Formula 1 rookie has already made a strong first impression at the Australian Grand Prix

Thanks! It’s tricky, but worthwhile. Test finishes at 7pm. Then until around 9pm we are in the paddock speaking to people and working on web pieces and video script. Record podcast whenever we are done with all that, around 10pm.

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.
