It's interesting to see things like the little wing on top of the engine cover, that only Haas and Ferrari have and no-one else. Gives a hint of how much Ferrari input there has been into the Haas car.

I attended the 4th day in Barcelona. It was a great experience even for me who has been to many GP's. 15 Euros for a day pass what entitles you access to any part of the track apart from the pits. I highly recommend it to anyone.
From what I could tell this season is going to be very close and interesting. Mercedes are very reliable but Ferrari have upped the game again this year in terms of performance.

The Mercedes with its three pipe exhaust have a really cool sound. The races are going to have a better sound effect this season

Well, day 5 is tomorrow. Maybe they'll have the chicken fences off them by then.

Someone finally beat Mercedes for laps completed... Sainz clocked up 166 laps today, vs 164 between Hamilton and Rosberg.
