It's possible, POSSIBLE...with Checo, that it COULD fight up front (stress on the possible and could).

Even if it’s a failure by then W10 would have done 150+ laps.
Great team & reliability.

Interesting......DAS disobeying Parc Fermme rules?

**ferrari1.8t** · 21st February 2020, 09:42

Wouldn’t expect anything less from the FIA - let Merc enjoy a clear illegal advantage, then stop everyone else from trying to implement it. The bias is real...

DAS will not be allowed in F1 in 2021

With Merc's relentless good work, and now Ferrari's engine problem today, Im so allready having negative vibes about this year

It will be another boring season. Mercs didn’t show its full tricks yet.

AMuS

Honda switched the power unit in the Red Bull during the lunch break yesterday after the data spat out suspicious signals. A thorough check showed that it was a false warning. According to Team info, the Power Unit should do its job again today.

thanks guys

**dfunk257** · 21st February 2020, 10:36

I cant stand how the media are comparing runs and somehow coming up with who's car is the fastest! They have NO IDEA what settings the teams are running but they still think they can come up with the answers, ridiculous!

But at the current moment no one can bet against Mercs. That is for sure.

[AMuS] Ferrari has so far operated their engine in its low performance levels. The defect is very surprising. Shortly before, Vettel had achieved the highest speed on the long straight: 329 km/h.....

Such high speed can be good aswell as bad.

A lot of cars that hit the highest speed in the past, Force India and Williams did due to having very slippery cars, but they also lacked downforce needed in corners to set a fast lap overall, very much like lasts years Ferrari.

Time will tell if Ferrari have being able to add downforce without adding drag
