Don't believe that , they are far from formula one top level technology.
The formula one power unit is so complex , no major automotive company could bridge the gap now if they decide to compete right now .
Look Honda , the largest combustion engine manufacturer in the world ..

if seb was stupid enough to be speeding during a pointless red flag then just like dani ric he should get a grid penalty

+1

Yep, Honda came in at 2015 WITH NO HELP and dealing with Mclaren plus the token system. After being humiliated for 3yrs and going thru hundreds of PU's, they seem to be on the right path for 2018 with STR.

**mwk360** · 19th October 2018, 18:45

so either our new floor and parts didnt show any gains or ferrari not going to bother with it in fp2 because of the weather (rumor)

Kimi had the new bargeboards and floor, seb had the old and i think seb ended up slightly quicker

Any news regarding Vettel's red flag offence?

nothing just yet, but completely stupid, he should'v slowed down regardless of what the cause of the redflag was

**mwk360** · 19th October 2018, 19:14

kimi supposedly got a different rear wing then he tried in fp1, incase rain slows down

**PURE PASSION** · 19th October 2018, 19:55

Kimi with old floor !!

**mwk360** · 19th October 2018, 19:56

Kimi's back to older spec floor, seb getting ready to come out as well, currently on wets no grip at all

**mwk360** · 19th October 2018, 20:02

the black on the williams is very ugly

**tifosi1993** · 19th October 2018, 20:12

Track is good enough for inters.

**tifosi1993** · 19th October 2018, 20:18

Seb on track, 17 laps old inters

**PURE PASSION** · 19th October 2018, 20:18

Seb with old floor also !!!!

**tifosi1993** · 19th October 2018, 20:24

Kimi on track, intermediate tyres: 20 laps old

i wonder who is in charge of our aero, this weather always hurting ferrari too, cant get a good chance to put parts against each other

**mwk360** · 19th October 2018, 20:38

so right now it looks like we back to old parts again, our wind tunnel must be a disaster

**Noquarter** · 19th October 2018, 20:44

I'm really tired of this Vettlel. Again mistake. He will never win any title again.

**mwk360** · 19th October 2018, 20:53

deserved penalty

**jgonzalesm6** · 19th October 2018, 20:56

Vettel to take a 3 place grid drop plus 2pts added to his super license.

Lewis might have the year sealed on Sunday instead of going to Mexico.

FerrariSteve · 19th October 2018, 20:58

What a joke. on the upside, no point watching this now, my sunday night will be better spent.
Nice title Lewis, enjoy it and I hope it's your last.

The penalty doesn’t really fit the crime, but it isn’t upto Seb to decide if the red flag is valid or not.

Poor penalty but red flag is there for a reason

**maxc1** · 19th October 2018, 21:02

Lol I cannot even believe this anymore. Lewis may need to buy Vet a christmas present in return for the present he gave Ham, today. Comical stuff here, really.

dont be so F1 blinded. LMP1 hybrids are just as complex than F1 cars. Audi R18 Porsche 919 were 4 wheel drive, had recovery systems on front and rear axles. The first R18 was flywheel hybrid system, that was way more complex than little F1 car system. But, really likes like comparing Green apples vs Red apples.

**Christopher** · 19th October 2018, 21:10

What a joke he slowed down to ruin his weekend for slowing down a second too late is a joke a warning or a fine would have been enough F1 is way too over policed these days

**jgonzalesm6** · 19th October 2018, 21:15

RedBull to switch back to the Spec B engine after a engine misfire(mapping) reappeared during free practice.

**mwk360** · 19th October 2018, 21:26

Vettel: It's the same for everyone (in the rain), not that many quality laps but it's clear that when it's wet we're not quick enough. It's clear we were not competitive today.

I am sorry, but I do not see what the problem is unless I'm missing something. He slowed down and maintained speed once he saw there was a red flag. I am seriously considering boycotting my home grand prix...
