1 hour left, Bottas last time in the car before handing over to LH. Therefore we might see anther quali sim from him unless we have seen it already with his 1.16.5

Today we look on par with Merc

He's teasing us...

Another purple first sector for Sebastian Vettel, but this time he loses even more time around the rest of the lap and falls back into the 1:17s.

But it's a solid stint from the Ferrari on the C4 tyres.

1.16.3 from vettel C4 or C5!??

Does he have to? Why show your cards on the last day? I'd rather let the competition think they are close or quicker than exposing all of my cards. Let him follow the program

Impressive sector 3 from Seb, faster than what Charles did yesterday. (26.222)

**mizf1** · 1st March 2019, 10:14

Vettel fastest. 1.16.3

He didn’t do his personal best S1. But purple S2 & S3

The latest from Lewis Hamilton's press briefing
"I think the gap [to Ferrari] is potentially half a second. But we don't know because everyone has different engine modes and fuel loads.

"It will be four races before we really know where we stand."

**chinmay** · 1st March 2019, 10:16

That was on C5

**coshida** · 1st March 2019, 10:16

**nani_s23** · 1st March 2019, 10:17

Hopefully in 4 race time before they work out the pecking order, Vettel 100 points, LeClerc 72 points and Ferrari 172 points in WCC

**chinmay** · 1st March 2019, 10:17

I expected Vettel to dip in 1.15s but I guess we will have to wait for 2020 to see a 1.15 lap

Its a 3L stint.

Yup, looks like Vettel's time was on C5 aswell

**jragona** · 1st March 2019, 10:18

Fast Ferrari back on top
As if to underline Lewis Hamilton's point, Sebastian Vettel uncorks a 1:16.352 to hit the top of the timesheet once again for Ferrari.

The Scuderia now have the quickest TWO times of Winter Testing from both their drivers.

We await tyre confirmation on that...but that's very quick yet again from the SF90.

**dfunk257** · 1st March 2019, 10:19

I still dont think that our boys are pushing the car to the max. I think there is still another half a second in their fastest laps that can be achieved

**chinmay** · 1st March 2019, 10:20

What an anti climax.

**tifosi1993** · 1st March 2019, 10:23

Yesterday Charles was fastest in all three sectors, ideal lap time (combining all of his best sectors): 1m16.166
Today Vettel is fastest in all three sectors, ideal lap time: 1m16.190, Edit: 1m16.150, Another edit: 1m16.040

Don't care about overall lap time. But Ferrari's performance in sector 3 makes me happy.

Yeah...!! Vettel didn’t personal best in S1 on his FL. So may be taking it easy in S1 n pushing in S2&S3.
Same thing happened with Charles yest.

**mizf1** · 1st March 2019, 10:24

Vettel goes fastest with a 1:16.352. While he went purple in sectors two and three, he didn't even improve in sector one

**mizf1** · 1st March 2019, 10:25

What I like about our drivers, their lap times are very close to each other. Hopefully they push each other to get the maximum from our cars during a race weekend. I don't think Kimi gave Seb the push he needed
