SF90 is back, Vettel spun. Looks like SF1000 is giving him same surprises as last year's car in corners.

For sure, I really worry about mr.Spunner, I think he want to do pentest with gear rear. For sure, my favorite is him.

25.878 bottas

25.878 bottas

I think it’s pretty encouraging that we’re 2 tenths off the best in our weakest sector when we’re clearly full of fuel and on C1 and C2 tires.

Last year on qualy VET did 26.611 but today he did 26.016 but i dont now wich tyre is that? Cut the corner

Why is that?

Apparently seb cut the final chicane, so the promising S3 time was not, in fact, promising

No he didn't cut the corner they said on Sky that it was a valid lap.

[FerrariF60]

No he didn't cut the corner they said on Sky that it was a valid lap.

Now the armchair critics are gonna say that he was on fumes for fuel....
I just hope that ferrari have fixed the real issue we had, which was poor performance in slow to medium corners which prolly also hurt our tire wear

No he didn't cut the corner they said on Sky that it was a valid lap.

He did cut the chicane based on live timing data. He never crossed the timing sensors for two "mini sectors" in S3.

it's one tenth

So far the car is a turd. Let's see what brings the next to days of searching performance. Some rumours about correlation issues again are emerging.

Ben Anderson, Autosport:

I feel the Ferrari is slightly behind the other two at this stage. The car looks decent enough on entry but then appears to lose grip mid-corner. I've heard there was a concern last week from Sebastian Vettel about the Ferrari having too much understeer and that tallies with my visual impression. Leclerc was having to use much more of the road on the exit of 7, thus tightening his approach to 8, because the car just would not fully comply as he re-applied the power mid-corner.

Ben Anderson, Autosport:

last year he said we are the fastest. we all know how that turned out.

the answer will come @ Q3 Melbourne

Ferrari is abig riddle right now

agree 100%.....ferrrari is a total mistery at the moment....total opposite to how they approach testing in comparison to last year

all our questions will be answered fully in the top 10 shoot out in OZ...

that;s because he forgot to take in consideration how HEAVY the sand bags were in the Merc car

[subfire91]

Imagine Ferrari is actually competitive this year, how upsetting would it be to have a number of the races cancelled this year. Health and safety is number 1 priority, but it would still suck.
