Guestimating that Kimi 18.6s time this morning is a few tenths off the car's ultimate pace and that a Merc could do a high 17s. Let's see.

Still not giving Ferrari any credit

anybody has a tin foil hat? Found this online
McLaren are sabotaging the engine. They realise it's not competitive and they're trying to bully and embarrass Honda into quitting so they can get another engine.
Nobody wants to make an engine for McLaren so they're stuck with Honda and can't fire them. But if Honda quit they can have the sport step in an force somebody to supply them.
Honda can't find the mystery electrical gremlin because it's literally just being turned off.

I think using their MotoGP engine is a better option for now.

Dutch F1today reports fueling will be crucial for this season. the 105KG will be very close in certain races. A few top teams have already expressed their concerns about the higher fuel consumption that comes with the 2017 rules

Let him guestimate as much as he likes. Let's wait for Oz and see what happens.

I love how he knows the limits of our car

On the other side, i have a doubt.
If ferrari believe they have the pace in them, why they are revealing now by ranking up high 1.18's & low 1.19's, where other teams like mercs & RB aren't too much interested in showing up the pace.

By doing so, they are once again pushing the others in making statements 'like ferrari is the team to beat as the same way in 2016'.

Because on this forum, some were asking for it :)

if such is the case then in this forum, everyone is asking championship title past couple of years. But ferrari isn't producing it :)

This car carries a Ferrari engine and it is beautiful

We ask championship titles from this year on :)

I'm guessing this is the start of a race simulation for Raikkonen. If so, here are the lap times:

1:24.510; 1:24.724; 1:25.040

SEEMS SLOW COMPARED TO YESTERDAY'S?

[jragona]

Different tires at the start maybe?

Is that good or bad?

It's a lot hotter there today I think so times are likely to be slower.

considering supersofts are too soft to be used in Barcelona and it is the start of his race sim, it is good

[Havanna89]

Great :)

I think Mercedes can do high 17s, as for us I think we can be. 3 faster than today

SCOTT MITCHELL: Totally different lines through the Turn 10 hairpin from Raikkonen and... everything else. Kimi is nowhere near the geometric apex every time. Goes in a lot deeper and has a much later rotation.

?????

[Black Adder]

Raikkonen is on mediums for this stint, and he's straight into the low 1m24s.

Is there a way we can find all the laptimes of Kimi's stint and compared to the others from yesterday?

The new tyres causes very good grip and allows a later rotation and this will benefit the exit??

[S1000RR]

I have got his soft stint here for you:
1:25.9, 1:24.1, 1:24.8, 1:24.7, 1:24.7, 1:24.6, 1:25.0, 1:24.7, 1:24.7 and 1:24.1.

[S1000RR]

That's impressive. Where do you find those?

F1today posted them in the live feed

[S1000RR]

Medium stint: 1:24.0, 1:24.5, 1:23.6, 1:24.1, 1:24.0, 1:24.0, 1:24.1, 1:23.7, 1:23.9 and 1:23.8.

Red flag! It's the Ferrari of Raikkonen.

RAIKKONEN IN THE GRAVEL - AGAIN
Raikkonen already crashed out this week and now the Finn in facing the wrong way in the gravel.
