That's their normally way of working. To go intentionally slow in the last test would be a bit out of character.
Quite. Right now they are going in to the first race with no real knowledge of their race pace. Shame, I was hoping they would blow MV/RB in to the weeds! Will have to wait a few races I expect!

Also a shame for Russell who I think is very good, but bit of a nightmare getting in to a front running team, perhaps without a front running car.
