    it seems so, either that or Kimi is still jet lag, usually Mercs are quickest in speedtrap, but i saw ferrari were at the top so that kinda makes me think we running a bit lighter or less conserved engine mode

    Horner said all the teams anticipate a wet FP2, which is why Ricciardo used extra new Supersoft and vettel used the extra new soft tyre in fp1

    I wish Bridgestone come back to the sport. Their black art of taming heavy rained-circuit is just beyond what Pirelli currently can do.

    No specifics on the actual start date but they characterize it as Budkowski's "upcoming arrival".

    Anyway--we've got our own things to think about ATM and moving forward so like the press kits always say: "we focus on ourselves with our feet..." you know how this goes.

    3 months is no different to 12 months. All engineers will take technical knowledge to new teams, its nothing new. Dont think Jock Clear would of mentioned new ideas and "well at Mercedes we done this that way" Its happened through out the years of F1.

    I saw an article where Ericson said the reason Wehlein has been faster at times is because he is 10KG lighter than him.

    Does a single Kilo make a difference or does it have to be a big amount like 10KG to see any performance hindrance.

    I was thinking Kimi is usually half a second slower than Seb and according to the credible sources that is the internet, he is about 4~5KG heavier than Seb


    Do you think it could be a reason in anyway?
