    Alonso starts his latest run with a 1m24.2s, just a touch slower than his current personal best.

    The good sign for us is that we dont do cooling laps between the laps and that means that means we are not loooking for quick lap times like ohers do.

    Hamilton: on soft
    outlap
    38 1:23.590 -10.99
    39 1:42.014 +18.424
    inlap
    Vettel: on medium
    outlap
    35 1:23.343
    36 1:33.016 +9.673
    37 1:23.450 -9.566
    inlap
    Alonso: on medium
    outlap
    26 1:24.232 -3.336
    27 1:24.984 +0.752
    28 1:25.194 +0.21
    29 1:25.247 +0.053
    30 1:25.168 -0.079
    31 1:25.129 -0.039
    32 1:26.593 +1.464
    inlap

    Vettel and hamilton clearly looking for quick lap time on their short runs meanwhile we are doing long runs.

    So, lunch time and FA has done 37 laps. Think he'll make 100 today?
    Can't see why not. Vettel's only done 38 .

    ferrari have no plans to run on a short stint with a low fuel. by looking at your data, it seems that vettel and hamilton are running on short stints, only that we really dont know their fuel loads. but most likely it is, i presume

    Analysis:
    Hamilton did a qick lap then a cooling lap the tried to push again, but because he was using the soft tyres they didnt give him another lap so he went into the pit.
    Vettel did the same thing, but because he he used the medium compound on his run he could do a second slightly slower lap after the cooling lap.
    If their fuel loads were similar that means the red bull is 5 tenth ahead of macca.

    Meanwhile Alonso was doing long runs and was not looking for quick laptimes but the times are not cosistent and with no cooling laps between the laps. So i can read out that the car is reasonably quick but it overheats the tyres and that could be a big problem because temperature now in barcelona is 8 degrees celsius and during the season it will be much hotter.

    joseluisf1:

    "In the afternoon, if they consider it appropriate, Ferrari could begin to test new parts, but again, reliability is top priority"

    so according to joseluis they havent tested new parts yet...on photos are no new parts to see also so it could be true...

    last season the italia is having problems on not achieving optimum tyre temp, now it is over heating, maybe this is the reason why the f2012 is reasonably quick, hopefully they can find a solution to this.
    by the way is it the rear or the front tyres???

    So we should expect more constant speed runs in the afternoon.

    wow, that is really secretive...NO ONE really knew about this....at least i didn't hear about it anywhere up until now...he, he...
    So 2023 started off bad, but managed to claw back some lap time come end of the year. Lets hope SF24 will give us tifosi something to smile about.

    So we went from not heating the tyres to burning them? From one extreme to the other...

    Alonso went threw three phases on his long runs:

    1.The fast first lap.
    2. Much slower but consistent 3-5 laps.
    3. The tyres are gone much slower times then went into the pit.

    First run:
    outlap
    15 1:24.100
    16 1:24.894 +0.794
    17 1:25.257 +0.363
    21 1:25.444 +0.187
    23 1:27.568 +2.124
    inlap

    Second run:
    outlap
    26 1:24.232 -3.336
    27 1:24.984 +0.752
    28 1:25.194 +0.21
    29 1:25.247 +0.053
    30 1:25.168 -0.079
    31 1:25.129 -0.039
    32 1:26.593 +1.464
    inlap

    Notice on the second lap on both runs more than 7 tenth slower than the first lap.
