For me personally, a bit disappointed, obviously they didn't bring a-lot of upgrades, but for the first week back from a massive break to have so many mechanical issues definitely doesn't inspire confidence.

Positives:

  • Gabi managed to complete a full race distance, which seemed to be a miracle from all the problems he had this weekend.
  • Nico's qualifying looked decently promising considering the minimal upgrades brought. P11 ( P10 considering Hadjar's disqualification ). Obviously the same as before but hopefully with more upgrade packages we'll be seeing Q3 more consistently.
  • Nico actually had a decent start, mostly maintaining his position until his front wing got clipped by a Williams. It's no-where near the best starts but clear improvement is always good. If these improved starts can be maintained that's a good sign.
  • Race Pace once again looked decent.

Negatives:

  • Insane amount of mechanical issues. To list them all, Nico DNS'd in Sprint, Gabi DQ'd in Sprint, Multiple Mechanical Issues for Gabi which ruined his qualifying. Team Radio of Nico also suggested the reason for his retirement was Throttle Issues, once again another problem. Considering how the team is struggling for points, the Driver's are never able to get consistent practice with all these issues and chances are missed.

 

Looking towards Canada, just hoping for more reliability.
