Hopefully the track is better today, Ferrari and Mercs both say RB is definitely mixed in the battle, No sign or word of any significant upgrade for Ferrari as yet, RB's upgrades really showed great improvement yesterday

that street is way too narrow, were any cars slipping off or having grip issues?

yup....last year though it was great and nobody had any issues at that corner????!!!!! It probably is the wider tyres with respect to F1.

do they carry over to next race? i remember after hamilton had that 75place grid penalty and everyone felt he didnt get a good enough penalty

No it does not carry over into the next race. Yes, I remember Elton's penalties in 2016...all of them....the difference between Alonso and Elton is that Elton came from behind and got

a podium finish 2x I believe and the 3rd time he came in fourth IIRC.

[KimiBot]

nice weather

[mwk360]

Yikes these cars giving no breathing space here

[mwk360]

Vettel tells them to check the right side of the car for leaves all over the track...i think lol couldnt hear clearly

[mwk360]

Mark Hughes said one of the biggest challenge will setting up the car and tyres in fp3 which is 10degrees hotter than in quali later

[mwk360]

Palmers car on fire

[mwk360]

5 cars on track cruising because palmers car is still there

[mizf1]

Is it me or do these stewards come across as incompetent

[mwk360]

Tyre temps already an issue and its 10 degrees hotter than it'l be in quali, RB have nailed this issue yesterday

[mwk360]

Is it me or do these stewards come across as incompetent

i agree

[mwk360]

Is Ferrari running the curve rear wing?

[mwk360]

Ric and Max fast laps from the go

[jgonzalesm6]

Is Ferrari running the curve rear wing?

Ferrari, Redbull and STR were not running the curved rear wing yesterday.

[mizf1]

Is Ferrari running the curve rear wing?

I think they are running it. I did see it on 1 of the cars

[mwk360]

Mercs 1 & 2 on softs

[mwk360]

I think they are running it. I did see it on 1 of the cars

I think vettel, havent seen Kimi yet

[mwk360]

LOL kimi pressure'd someone into brake locking there

[mwk360]

Kimi on SS in p2 0.4s behind Bottas who used Softs -_- Mercs looking good again

[mwk360]

Mercs very slow on speedtrap so even though they are quickest at the moment they are definitely hiding speed

[From Treviso]

softs may just be the tyres for the 58 degree track?

[mwk360]

Vettel currently in 19th sitting in pits +7.779

[jragona]

Where is Vettel?
