According to F1.com, “When rivals were asked who surprised them the most in testing, Aston Martin was a favorite choice.” Further down the grid, Williams might just spring us a surprise.

“You might also find it odd that Williams is classed as the winner given they finished bottom of the one-lap pace charts. But they have gained the most time of any team versus 2022 testing according to our data – 2.378s – and finished second in the mileage charts with 439 laps.” In other news, Red Bull goes into the weekend as a favorite, with Ferrari following close behind.
