My mistake - somehow I got it into my head that a practice session is 2 hours. It isn't. Practice 1 and 2 are 90 mins whereas practice 3 is 60 mins. Anyway, IMO it's still more than enough time and my poitn remains valid.

That's 4 hours free practice for each of 20 races making 80 hours of testing, set up etc during a full season.

A test day is AFAIK 8 hours so 80 hours is equivalent to 10 test days. For in-season car development, that should be more than enough.
