Forza Ferrari!!
I feel Charles is going to be good here, no idea why. it's just a feeling I have. Maybe a podium?
also Bottas 3rd engine change in 4 races, another penalty lol. I think they do it to keep him away from Hammy.
Not much to talk about that session. Mercedes continue to exploit the regs, taking engine changes because they'll only get a 5 place penalty now. Also something very dodgy with there speed but still a refusal from the FIA to look into it. It'll only be there downfall as people don't tune in to watch processions as we've seen over the last 8 years.
Looks like Red Bull are falling away badly against Mercedes.
Forza Ferrari
Sure that taxi speed is legal...
maFIA sees nothing wrong.
Hero's come and go, but legends never die!
I have been saying this over and over, they have been toying with everyone for years, they have so much reserve that they only up the engine enough to win these championships. This year only 6 races left so they don't want to take this any further so they up the engine again. Probably it will be over 1.5 seconds faster than rest of the field at full power.
Red is the only color!!!
I think the Merc ran with higher mode than usual. Bottas now on his 6th PU, so something's not right with the PU. Probably pushing the engine a bit harder in Friday practice to check and verify some data.
Something VERY dodgy about that Merc engine. if it was a Ferrari or Honda, they would be checking it out but as always Merc gets a free pass because the FIA want goldenboy to have more titles. Makes me want to puke, the sheer unfairness of it all. I swear the FIA are now as corrupt as FIFA.
I can guarantee we're not 1.5 seconds off pole. Surely running the old engine and not pushing so hard for laptimes either.

This is why taxi's where so fast in Turkey. Look at how much the car drops ha no moveable aero part sure.
So they are going to exploit every race the 5 grid place penalty and get a new ICE + partry mode again pffff.

The butler bottas has been given engine change to protect 3 chains when he is leading,and to fend of any attack,just doing the job of the butler for 3 chains.Ferrari will surprise.
A little odd performance on those FPs !!!! I cant think that we are behind Stroll and a bit ahead of Gio!!!!!And almost 0.5s behind McL's !!!!!!
FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!
On race pace we are somewhere there. We look to be a bit in front of McL. About 0.1-0.2 s / lap
FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!
Haven't seen any proper data but we look slower than anticipated. Maybe we are holding something back but I doubt it..
I think WEC and GT cars look better at COTA
Ferrari using in this 1 in 2 new engine or old one ? If they used old one I think they can be good in is new one than they have problems with Mclaren …
Yes i think that in the race Ferrari can fight for podiums..
It's too soon to make assumptions. Wait till qualifying and more so, wait till the race to see Ferrari's race pace on a full tank of gas....like everyone else.
Then we'll see if this "upgraded" PU has been "upgraded."
It's not how start but how you finish.
just my opinion... but What a ******** story by mercs on... we lost some ground to red bull in fp2....
they have just simply detuned after all the hype on their extra speed so as to hide what a bunch of cheats they actually are........
You're a sitting duck at Austin without tyre durabilty and it's also a track where the differences between the old and new engine should be among the greatest all season so it would make sense to focus exclusively on durability and general set-up. FP3 will say a lot more.
