It's the same wing Kimi ran on the first day of 2nd testing, though teams usually don't show off new bits before Friday.
Speaking of which, last year Allison said one of tricks to understand tyre was lots of stints on medium tyres. First, medium tyres are the most frequently used compound in race over the season and...
I assume it's a speculation on your part? Because (unfortunate for us) it's quite the opposite from every report I've read. According to them, they have been superb in that aspect this week, tyres...
Rosberg said after the day2 (172 laps or something on the day) he was keep running and running to find out where the limit is, which are weak points. Inevitably something will break at some point and...
Unfortunately that's the vibe I'm getting too. As having warned us Mercedes seem to have found a lot of lap times over the winter (or just unleash what they had all along but didn't need to show) and...
It's a shame that in the year that we brought a car with so many changes the winter testing has been shortened. They seem to be doing all sorts of system checks and ground work this week that many...
I can't fathom what kind of thoughts were going through the Maranello engineers' mind looking at the data. It'd better be proven wrong in real life for the sake of the team's sanity. But then it...
No such quote from MA in this article. There's nothing we haven't heard before or particularly notable. Surprisingly banal for a feature story. A mildly interesting part -

Pat Symonds: Teams may be caught out by new F1 tyre characteristics
Oh, I do think it's pretty much a fact by now. Since it wasn't some revelation for most of us, somehow I interpret 'very different' in the sense how he feels or deploys stuffs in the simulator - or...

Assumed so but it doesn't excuse their general lack of transparency. Like every single tyre-related incidents are due to debris or kerbs, muzzling driver's mouth and then the secret test. They...
"major changes" without telling teams the truth. *facepalm*
If that's true Pirelli have no right to complain when fans and drivers do not trust their words any more. They pretty much bring it upon...
Yet Wolff goes on to cry how they are not able to bend the rules as much as Ferrari do.
Yup. That image can be found as early as January 2010 with a brief Google search. Thought the nose seems familiar. Probably F60, I presume.
Edit: If it's not just a CGI it must be one of the cars...
'TL;DR' in an image? :xmasbiggrin:

I strongly doubt that. From what I've seen 'after hiring one of McLaren's drivers and winning a lot' is a more accurate description of the change which was the point Bernie was making the other day....
Also per championship point they earned.
As for how come RBR getting a big slice, first the fact that they are running two financially healthy teams, four cars on the grid. It's for their own...

Thanks a lot for sharing! It's interesting to hear an engineer values the human/driver side highly as well. Maybe because his work area is somewhere in between.
I've read that while nothing became...
Maybe Kimi could try something different but I expect SS-S-S will be the most common strategy.
He kept going on super soft but his lap times were falling off rather considerably.

Seb's long run on soft looked reasonable compared to Hamilton's. Then I saw Ricciardo's and Rosberg's pace on the same compound. Even if it was supposed to be a 2nd stint, Rosberg's lap times look...
