Vettel needs to get out and start pumping some laps in, Ferrari can still do 100+ laps today

**mwk360** · 26th February 2019, 12:52

I read on Twitter that the mechanics were having a hard time cleaning the dirt/debris off of the matt paint. Wonder if those were just rumours or true?

I think its true but i think thats the nature of Matte, i think the new red shade is just to appease those that said orange orange orange maybe

no stream this week, im using numerous sites that give updates via images and comments, maybe others know?

**mwk360** · 26th February 2019, 13:06

Not a very good day today regarding car issues but plenty time to get decent data from seb if everything goes according to plan

**subfire91** · 26th February 2019, 13:10

i wont consider too serious if is just cooling. taking in mind that during the first test no problems were risen its probably a one time issue and we should be ok. Fingers crossed is not an engine problem

Apparently haas have also suffered with cooling issues, i wonder if its when ferrari changed the lay out of there waste gate pipes , from two to just one, if that was the cause

That's the reason why they test.

probably something they changed. Or something failed within the cooling system.

**FerrariF60** · 26th February 2019, 13:15

We never had any issues with cooling in the first test; is it way hotter this week?
Although we do seem to have a pretty tight engine cover compared to the others, but at the same time our side pod inlets are bigger compared to last year, so one would think that we should have enough cooling....but who knows

And it’s only gonna get hotter as the season unfolds....hope ferrari know what they are doing

**mwk360** · 26th February 2019, 13:17

Vettel

1:18:2 could be c3 or c4

--
two 1:18:2s in a row, i wonder if he pits now, nope continues on but laps continuously(2-3 laps) in the very high 1:19s and low 1:20s after that and pits

**Schumyboy83** · 26th February 2019, 13:20

14:17 Good thing we spotted that in time - Vettel immediately goes fastest with a 1m18.206s lap!

**maxc1** · 26th February 2019, 13:20

Looks like it was on the yellow banded C3 tires.

i can only hope binotto understands more than MA where ferrari needs to spend money on development to fix issues like these

**PURE PASSION** · 26th February 2019, 13:37

Gaily just did 1:17:7 on C3s??

**mwk360** · 26th February 2019, 13:38

gasly 1:17:7s on c3 fastest by far

Honda flexing a little

**maxc1** · 26th February 2019, 13:38

Maybe the sandbags for redbull are coming off?

I prefer that red!

**mwk360** · 26th February 2019, 13:48

seb in the 1:17s but 0.2s behind gasly as he cools down and goes for one more hot lap

**mwk360** · 26th February 2019, 14:02

Rb gaining most time in s3 comparing to ferrari, the DF section, ferrari gains slightly in s2

[AMuS] We hear from Alfa Romeo that new parts will be mounted on their car on Thursday and on Friday.

Seb was fastest in Sector 1, maybe lifted in Sector 3? Because in week 1, Ferrari was super strong in Sector 3 and other teams were struggling to beat or come close to Ferrari's time on same tyres.
