Ferrari aren’t doing any performance tests for now. They are doing their own programme.

**Nomore** · 1st March 2018, 15:00

19.3 on mediums...no way

**FerrariF60** · 1st March 2018, 15:00

Not only that, but the difference between medium and soft only 3 tenths? Hard to believe

I know Ferrari are focusing on long runs but its a very impressive time by Hamilton as we all expected Mercedes are just as fast as last year.

It will be mercs vs Ferrari once again. Same as last year. Occasionally RB. But if McLaren produces good aero, then RB vs McLaren

But the point remains!

**Christopher** · 1st March 2018, 15:35

Vettel done 100 laps

**darkchild** · 1st March 2018, 15:38

Gap is worrying compared to last year.

**paolo lalli** · 1st March 2018, 15:42

Laps and data ladies and gentlemen thats what its about we are miles ahead with this one flying lap means nothing.

**bkircher** · 1st March 2018, 15:51

Its annoying to see these doom and gloom posts already, lets face it Mercedes has been and will be the favorite for the last years and since their program has been ahead, they can afford to push for lap times earlier than everyone else because they are not constantly having to make big gaps/jumps to try and catch up to the leaders, that being said, usually testing for lap times comes towards the end of testing, not day 4.

I wonder where they get the speed trap data from. There is no way those speeds are from the normal speed trap at the end of the long straight, as those should be in the 320-330 kph range.

**jgonzalesm6** · 1st March 2018, 17:05
