I agree I think things could have gone a lot worse. You could see Kimi had big issues with his brakes during the whole race. They just have to improve the brake issues. It needs to be the first focus. Ferrari's strategy also wasn't great. There are many small things to improve, but this was the first race and no one quite knew what to except. I hope they will be better prepared now. I dont know if they will improve much in the speed department, but there are a lot of other things to work on.

there is a limit. it doesn't mean he had more than 100 kg. There was talk about it before the race already. Apparently Ferrari had to limit fuel flow at testing already or as FIA told they would be in trouble in Melbourne. And at free practice now Mercedes may have beed a little bit over the limit too. So FIA eased the measure frequenzy before quali. Toto Wolff said that change wasn't because of them as they limited their fuel flow anyway already. They would have been 5 tenth faster then.. and RB defended Mercedes and said those fuel flow metres are not working properly and according to Renault all had problems with it.
