Yeh it is strange

Not a good Lap by Seb better by Charles. Car looks slightly unstable.

**nani_s23** · 26th October 2019, 18:22

Ferrari are not yet on full speed. Just calm down. Tyres temp are a big issue.

**tifosi1993** · 26th October 2019, 18:22

Time in sector 1 and 3 is pretty good. Sector 2 is bit of a problem (losing 3 tenths).

But all is not over yet, track is evolving and it will come back to us in Q3.

**FerrariF60** · 26th October 2019, 18:24

so were red bulls sandbagging up until now??? we'll find out i guess soon.......

**Vettel165** · 26th October 2019, 18:25

Would you think starting second and third would be better than pole. A monster straight and I think starting third is even better than pole as you can slipstream two cars in Front.

yeah, it is a LOT warmer today.....hopefully it won't affect our pace TOO much

**Giallo 550** · 26th October 2019, 18:29

Maybe Ferrari should ask the FIA to inspect Red Bull.

**PURE PASSION** · 26th October 2019, 18:31

That's more like it.

**nani_s23** · 26th October 2019, 18:31

That’s a some lap from vet on those mediums.

They are on New set of mediums. We would have done better than mercs. No worries.
Ferrari had this one. That’s why mercs are playing game with strategy. Just don’t need any reliability issues.

it's called track evolution mate.....when the Mercs did their laptime on Mediums teh track was a LOT more rubbered in....are you NEW at this game???

to set the BEST lap time in Q3 is to do it LAST.....that's when the track is at it's best......thats what Seb used to do in the Red bull days
