Poll results: Which team impressed you the most in Barcelona?
On Sunday morning, we asked you which team impressed you the most after the first week of testing in Barcelona. Well, the results are in...!
1. Ferrari - 38%
2. Alfa Romeo - 35%
3. Red Bull - 9%
4. Mercedes - 6%
5. Other - 12% (only Renault named)
Ferrari
During the first two days, Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc were banging in hot laps and riding high at the top of the timesheets. Later in the week, they switched to longer runs and demonstrated good reliability. Unsurprisingly, they impressed the majority.
Alfa Romeo
Kimi Raikkonen ran into the gravel trap just five minutes into the first session of the season. But the car performed well enough for the Alfa Romeo team to impress many. Both Raikkonen and Antonio Giovinazzi found themselves at the top during sessions and they could perhaps be a dark horse in 2019.
Red Bull
Reports suggested the Honda engine was turned down due to vibrations, but they've still managed to impress 9% of you. Will they be title contenders?
Mercedes
As usual, Mercedes are hiding their pace. They'll probably wait until Q3 in Australia before we see some real speed from the Silver Arrows. Reliability, for them at least, was good.
