It’s amazing how (relatively speaking) quickly the teams have gotten reliability to be an almost none issue even with these (quite often) overly complex power units, I can still remember the 2014 tests where Renault could barely strong a lap together due to the Red Bull overheating (resulting in chunks of bodywork being cut out quite a lot).
Teams just bang 100 + laps in with ease these days.

Congratulations to Hamilton for championship number 6
Thankfully it looks like Vettels going to get his seasons quota of spins out of the way in testing as well!

A shame, they really do need the running with a rookie and a driver who’s not raced in F1 since the end of 2010. Heard on the Sky coverage that Renault were close to not being able to run as well.
One thing I can say from following the first day of testing via Autosport and Twitter is that the cars look amazing out on track (for the most part), the Ferrari looks lovely
, still not 100% sure on the Haas though.
