Barcelona Testing 2018

[Vettel165]

Wow Seb is getting close to 200 laps today, I still think we are slightly ahead of Mercedes (lets say 0,2 per lap), and 0,6 s per lap faster than Red bull. Our engine looks better now, which is gonna be absolutely crucial, look at the speed traps and look at the pace (Haas f1) got, amazing!

[PURE PASSION]

I told you it is incomparable.

[mardyrt]

Yes, but Vet stint was 25laps vs 16 Botas, so probably Botas had less fuel, I think...

one lap of fuel costs you around .05 seconds in Barcelona,

[Aberracus]

1:19.9
1:20.3
1:22.3
1:24.1
1:24.6

Lewis' short run on US, all over the place.

Mercedes are killing their soft tyres
thats why Bottas did a Race Sim with 3 mediums
Red bull is not far away from them
We are swift on our Tyres...


Right there is basically no time difference between the first lap of a stint and the last lap (Ferrari and Red Bull)
On Bottas' race sim you can see much more variation between the beginning and end of a stint.

So VET is driving to a DELTA

Great, innovation again is with us, this team makes us proud. We are sandbagging as 2017 tests, that feels so good !

whether teams sandbag in the testing is debatable. Best lap time in testing last year was like what..1.18.7 bi kimi i think. Pole position after 2 months of development in GP during May was 1.19.1 by Ham. I dont know whether teams sandbag or not, there are some indications that they may not.

Simplification on Ferrari's cowling over the diffuser, confused with a double diffuser....Scarbs

I notice Seb did a 1:19.9 at the end of his race run shows we still have alot more pace in the locker

For some reason I cannot open given link...

VET was driving to a DELTA, you can see that the times were not falling with the fuel being used, and the Tyres were excellent in the end of the Sim.

Impressive milage by Ferrari teams again

How many laps we did today?

[jgonzalesm6]

Mercedes camp tyres........looks bad. They might have to alter their tyre strategy in the beginning until they get this sorted out.

This is their problem every year at the start... but their strength is always medium tyres.

Allison Said they have solved it with the new suspension

fingers crossed they broke the magic car..

Lookmat the state ofnthat red bull tyre, ferrari might win the pit stop war if we can maintain our gentleness on the tyres, at the same time getting them up to temp quick
