This tells me that the Ferrari engine is still "on par" with the Merc engine and Merc's aero is giving them the advantage. Seb might be able to do something early in the race being on the faster tires (remember China). We will have the advantage on the straights w/ less drag and higher top speed. Obviously his start will be critical...as will Max's.
The team needs to take a long hard look at Kimi and the rest of this season. He has again failed to beat out the Red Bulls, much less the Mercs. At some point the team should realize that we will not win the WCC this year w/ Kimi as a driver and we should let that go, get rid of Kimi, and bring on Leclerc, before the summer break hits, so that he can get familiar w/ the car and maybe challenge Bottas by the latter 3rd of the season when Seb will need the assistance to win the WDC.
indeed, mercs did bring a lot of small updates on their aero here aswell, so their engine isnt 0.4-0.6 faster, we could take bottas on race line with these tyres, but looking at some forecasts they saying good chance of rain at the start of the gp and then going dry a bit after the start
hockenheim 2018 / China 2018 : Never forget how quick Ferrari can lose it all, be humble.
