A lot of work to do ahead, @Charles_Leclerc back on track for the whole day. �� #SF90 #F1Testing #essereFerrari

---------------

Everyone has emerged from the pit lane so far except Leclerc. Is there something wrong afoot or is the team simply waiting for better track conditions?

Mercedes keeps adding these little winglets, turning vanes, wind diflectors and other little bits. Every time they add, it might be adding downforce or help direct the air, but it keeps adding more drag! I think they came so far with the concept and found out it didnt work and now they are trying to fix it.

Mercedes are doing what ferrari did in the second half of the f1 season they are not sure of what works and what doesn't.

**mardyrt** · 28th February 2019, 07:52

Our team really know how to mess themselves up. Last week, they finished the test over one and half hours still to go, then again same thing with Charles. If they kept running, it would have helped them with the extra miles they need today!! I dont know why they are still not going yet today! One lap and thats it so far.

Is hamilton still running with Aero or can't these times be achieved with Aero sensors on it?

**mwk360** · 28th February 2019, 08:11

lol you must be having a field day seeing those times. nothing is ominous yet.

**tifosi1993** · 28th February 2019, 08:18

Top teams can do faster times than 1m18's on C2, I hope people will stop overreacting.

**mwk360** · 28th February 2019, 08:20

Gasly and Ham back on track

**mwk360** · 28th February 2019, 08:23

Ferrari communicates that a damaged rim yesterday led to departure from Vettel. The left front rim broke after being hit by a foreign object a few seconds earlier.
