    yes, seb said they trying not to do too many miles on it though, but its working..no problems


    On Friday you don’t seek much the performance and this new engine has a lot of miles to do, so we try to save it. It’s working well and we didn’t have problems. But we still have to do more and to improve. We have a lot of things to look at. Mercedes looks quick but it’s not a surprise.

    So that's why bottas was running the mediums. Probably trying to do one stop.

    According to Kimi on F1i there is no upgrade, just a 'fresh' engine, turning that (hilarious) alleged 50hp boost into a 0hp boost.

    Hmm...looking at this pace. Ferrari made wrong move to bring SS tyres over soft tyres.

    Actually it was media who did hype the figures of the upgrade. Because there is intense battle in the championship.
    Not from Ferrari etc.

    So with Bottas out the way the Ferraris should qualify ATLEAST 2 and 3rd as we should be able to turn it up in quali and cover the Red Bulls. Lets just nope its not a race where Bottas finishes ahead of kimi.

    No one expects the hardest tyre to be the best race tyre, they choose these tyres weeks ahead so nomway of knowing.

    I don't get the dismissive talk about Red Bull catching up to Ferrari this season. The last time they out-developed Ferrari over the course of the campaign was all the way back in...2016.

    Short memories or fan goggles I guess.
