By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostThe Ferrari looked great on the hards.you don't wear your tyres if you go that slow innit
Think that the Mercs do not like the heat is now official, even on same tires (Val;/Max) RBR16 was faster, did not expect that in a dry race this year
Top race by Charles, tires must be dead end Bottas probably going to complain about strats
Hulk extra stop to fall behind Lance, neck must be sore as hell.

he had back to back fastest laps at one point.
Forza Ferrari celebrating P4 haha
And cannot wait for the usual, "Alex had some great overtakes" when pace was lacking again even in free air.
And thx weather gods and Pirelli, so much better when teams have the chance to do different things
Happy Max:

Shocked we didn't see a blow up today. The mercs where shredding those tyres.

It is amazing Ferrari can even compete with the likes of Mercedes, Renault, and Honda. Ferrari are the true underdogs of Formula 1.

See y'all next week at Cuntalunya.

But charles, the last two races showed ferrari has the driver, they just need the car to match it
just
Bottas. like last year, keeps Lewis behind him on track and different strategy makes him loose out again, yes he is pissed.
Bottas might be upset but he just signed up for another year of this so can't feel bad for him.
Daddy Stroll must have treatened to withhold payment if Hulk didn't pit

He is using it to pay Ronaldo to model for his glasses company.
Hopefully Ferrari can get in a position to get him a car that can compete for a race this year.
I forgot this was on today but C4's highlight package doesn't need to be 2.5 hours, c'mon.
The drivers' masks are shit. In one question, Stroll had to adjust his three times.

If this high tyre wear trend continues, Max will be a major contender this season.
Would be beautiful to have him champ already.

Well the heat definitely isn't doing favors for Mercedes. Max has always been good with his tyres and his car is better suited for the current circumstances. If it wasn't for his DNF in race 1 we would have a much more interesting championship table now. It's too early to say he's gonna give Hamilton a proper challenge but at least the season is not over yet.
F1 really trying here
Man I really feel bad for Hamilton. You can hear it in his voice that he is really hurt by some competitors and teams not showing support.

Turd weekend in a row, this time a warm Barcelona. Expect Merc engineers to have found a set-up that does not destroy rear tires (harder compound) by now, but do expect RBR closer than when it would be cooler in Barcelona, but not as close (or faster) as last week.

Never been a fan of changong rules mid-season for no other reason than to slow down a certain competitor (merc in this case). Also no idea how they want to implement it seeing how many different modes/strats/erc settings these hybrid engines have.
Special Q modes could be banned after Spain (@the-race)

By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostWhen I read it on the BBC i thought Ferrari were .185 behind haha. Was all excited.rofl
FP2:
Single lap Merc still mega, but on their long runs they seam to loose at lot of that advantage (specially mediums) compared to Max. The hardest C1 white tire lacks grip, so cannot see people use that on Sunday for 1 stop, so M/M/S two stoppers.
Midfield mega close, with RP on long run (reds) looked good, but lacked single lap pace and start position is key here.
valteri lacking grip on C1 whites:
race sims:
Albon is mostly saving his ass with decent performances on sunday. The lad can drive, has race pace and the balls to overtake. But his quali and practice is usually pretty shit.
The only thing he does better is having enough confidence to overtake people. But with a car that is so much faster than the midfield it is the least you can expect from him. Pure pace (0.45 Q more than 0.7 a lap in the race behind Max) , just behind Pierre on averages and no improvement anywhere to be seen.
But there is no real alternative so they keep trying to highlight his positives, but you can only do that for so long, a timing screen does not lie.

Honestly also wouldn't know who else to put next to Max. They'll need a loyal guy like Bottas that knows he's a number 2 driver but is decent enough to get some what close to Max performance wise. So far Max basically outperformed everyone by a lot.
FP3:
End few minutes early as Ocon drives in the Back of Kevin, both on slow lap. Feel that Ocon just was looking at dash/mirror and reacted to late. Pace Merc pole, Max looks P3, than the midfield and Wil/2xFer power trying to get out Q1. Both Merc drivers and Max did not use medium tire, so guess they will try to use that in Q2.
Seb going back to his old chassis, need to find some pace quickly.

Expected the Mercs on the mediums, seems they want to save two new sets for the race?
Tires must last longer than last week, entire field on them.

Renault still lacking and Gasly 2.0 keeps going strong and Albon 0.05 fast enough : eeks:

Lewiiiiiis, Valteri loosing it in S3 and slower than last year pole time.
Max does what need to be done, RP's now need to get the race right and get good double points.
Alex only 0.7 behind :topper: on a track were you test and do mega amount of laps and Charles and Pierre poorer Q3, Q2 times faster

Gasly q2 run was great. Really putting himself in pole position for the redbull seat next year
