2018 British GP - Pre-Race news

[jgonzalesm6]

So here are Pirelli choices and teams choices of tyres. Yes these are the Pirelli -Mercedes tires and the last race they will be introduced.

Ferrari will keep there upgrades a secret or behind closed doors until free practice as all the photographers will be willing to capture any little picture they can get.

Are they going to broadcast tha race from the track?

I'm sure JB will be with the guys pre-during (playing wingman with tech. questions)-post race doing interviews. Might even MC the quali and post race winners.

[mwk360]

Ferrari need to gain the one lap pace they had in quali before the battery monitoring. mercs ahead always control the race as bottas never challengers Ham , but put them behind and all hell breaks loose, they cannot follow another car without overheating. Will rumored aero beable to get us 0.4s in quali deficit? fingers crossed

[mwk360]

Apparently Mario Isola said to Sky Italy that they consider bringing the special Pirelli tyres to more circuits after seeing how 6-teams (one of them are Mercedes) struggled with the tyres.

[Ferrarichamp]

so after Merc's rare double DNF in Austria, the question is was that just a one off or is unreliability creeping in?

[zike]

What will Ferrari do if this pass, I wonder

[bondilad]

What will Ferrari do if this pass, I wonder

Isn't liberty's intention is to providing exciting, artificial and unpredictable racing... For once i hope them to intervene and not allow Pirelli to change them.

[mwk360]

I never said that. Tyres with reduced tread thickness are for the 3 races already announced and because of the characteristics of the new asphalt. https://twitter.com/Mario_Isola/status/1013698042355216384

lets hope toto doesnt get his way and mario keeps his word

[Larry_Cule]

The Austrian GP was a real bless for every REAL racing fan.The Mercedes team is a threat for the sport itself.
If Pirelli makes such a decision then (well you guessed it) we are doomed.
What I really fear is that nobody from our team is going to do anything...
Ferrari is keeping it cool.
Getting 100+M just to show on the track is what SM really looks for

I hope the tire issue here doesn't become battery-gate 2.0 but seems like it already has.

Hmm ...!! Mercs are vulnerable now with those engines. Perez in France, bottas, ham in Austria. Outside they will say not an issue, but there are concerns. But it’s hammer track, he will hammer it.
In race it could be anybody’s game. I think RB would suffer.

There are no such things as Hamilton tracks, that’s a myth. However there are tracks that are pretty much handed to him...almost all of them over the last 4 years. :roll

[mwk360]

We desperately need a front row position here, otherwise Bottas will just kill the race in second and rapper boy will win and call it the most exciting race ever. we need about 0.4s in quali to catch mercs. mercs set there car up just for quali looking at Austria and Canada, they cant pass anyone with a decent car, they will have the merc spec tyres but a front row ferrari will give them some pressure atleast, they might have to turn the engine up and be risky if temps are high

[Brembo]

Max won 4xs not from pole. He's living on the podium as of lately. Rules are meant to be "Bent!" Are fans thinking, it's his car , not the driver that gets him on top?

[chinmay]

Maurizio Arrivabene said after Austria that Silverstone is going to be very tough for Ferrari, they don't expect to perform well there let alone fight for pole or victory. I reckon Red Bull will qualify ahead of Ferraris. It's also not a good track for Vettel - he might qualify 6th.

3 tenths deficit in Austria translates to 8 tenths deficit in Silverstone.

Seb should call in sick and give Antonio G a shot !

[mwk360]

M.A said it will be a very tough track, i feel because it suits the merc car in everyway, longstraights and highspeed corners , ferrari lost most of its 0.3s to mercs in austria in the highspeed corners of s3. so Rb will be weaker on the straights and ferrari weaker in the highspeed corners, its definitely a damage limitation race, if we can get split Mercs than it'l be a very good job, hopefully ham is still in crybaby diva mode and doesnt get it together. bottas has been way more consistent. Last year ferrari killed its tyres here but seeing austria we look good with tyres and i hope the weather gets even hotter

Team boss Maurizio Arrivabene has warned that Ferrari may struggle this weekend at Silverstone.



"On paper, Silverstone looks quite difficult for us. Aerodynamics are very important and it will be a difficult race for us, so we have to stay focused," Arrivabene told Sky Italia.

But he says a question mark about reliability at least now hangs over Mercedes, even though the German team was bullish about its big upgrade package in Austria.

"Sometimes you speak too loudly," said the Italian. "In formula one you can bring an interesting upgrade package but maybe it gets too warm and you stop."

Vettel:

"Our race speed is right, but in qualifying we are currently a bit behind. So we need to roll up our sleeves.

"At Silverstone, we are not usually the best, so Mercedes is the favourite there I think."

Now it’s all about quali n get ahead, which MA highlighted it.

I do want Ferrari to win, Vettel to win, a Kimi win in Spa won't hurt either but let's be real - Mercedes is too strong in qualifying and as seen by other races this season - qualifying is super important as evident by less overtaking on a track like Montreal.

Ferrari should go for race setup because they can't beat Mercedes in qualifying anyways, last year Ferrari was second a lap slower in race pace and who knows, with a good Ferrari start, Mercedes might develop more issues running in the dirty air.

[jgonzalesm6]

- Mercedes don't think they will be penalised after Austrian GP retirements but are not 100% sure yet according to James Allison

- Bottas will get penalty if they change his ES or CE.

A team engineer explains you have to move Friday back if you want to move Saturday’s running at all. Otherwise you screw over mechanics and engineers (on week three of a triple header). Not a simple move. There are a LOT of engineers who will say that’s not possible... debrief this, pre-quali briefing that, setup change this, tyre selection that blah blah blah

Verstapen has won only because the leaders failed, and last race kimi got passed by Verstapen, Vettel finished 3 with a 3 grid penalty. Do some math Brembo

Your right! I'll do some math, #1=s 1, First place. 4 wins without 1 start at pole = good driving. You are also correct and honest saying the leaders failed. The 3 grid penalty had 0 to do with Max. Seb won that on his own. Did I pass the math test?:rotfl

Not really, the math you should be doing is that vettel has already 19 wins not coming from pole so I don’t think he should be learning anything from max unless he wants to increase his dnf numbers. Also what did max do so special on this race? Made the most of kimi mistakes in the first lap (kimi should have won this race) and after that it was all down to bottas breakdown and strategy error with hamilton, it was a lucky win not sure there’s much to learn from that.

Don't cry mkw! I think it was Seb who pointed out Ferrari has been doing updates pretty much every race (since the fly-aways were finished... I think?), instead of saving up to make a big update "package".

Plus you do know that it is generally accepted that the floor & diffusor contribute approx. 50% of total downforce, the FW ~25% & RW ~25%. Obviously those are only ballpark numbers that I've read on more than one website where they get into aero details.

So, that makes me guardedly happy when I hear we're getting a new floor!:topdance

I agree Max has a lot of catching up to do to get his 19th win without pole. But he's moving along so far. Seb has a few more races over Max . As you point out Kimi , my favorite ; mistake 1st.lap, Bottas car breakdown, Strategy error from Lewis one of the best ever drivers! Anyone of these 3 drivers wish they had Max's luck !

if its true than that's shweeet :-) i hope it does help as much as possible!, saw that mercs are bringing even more updates here so got worried that just a new floor isnt enough to pull back that advantage plus what they have gotten last two races.

i remember ferrari saying the longer wheelbase will allow more updates and progress aero wise so just expected maybe more on the outside :-) , i wonder if ferrari will bring a bigger update down the road, RB brought there big major one at spain, Mercs at austria/silverstone maybe ferrari is aiming for Monza for the sake of the tifosi

https://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/formel-1/motor-mercedes-bottas-problem/

according to amus

-the new mercs updates at Austria are worth atleast 0.2s, (expect to see more at Silverstone because of lap length compared to Austria)
-Ferrari were about 0.33s behind Mercs at Austria but had the best tyre degradation with no blistering
-Max had the same issue as Ricciardo and was ordered to turn his engine way down to try to make it to the end which is why Ferrari started catching him at the end
-Rb's/renaults new Quali mode gives them an extra +15hp
-Mercs are not 100% sure whether Bottas engine is perfectly fine and are worried but they cant see anything wrong at with it at the moment.

[ferrari1.8t]

What kind of BS-Biased journalism is this? Vettel was gifted the championship lead and will loose it this weekend? How about Ferrari built a more reliable package that doesn't eat its tyres and doesn't rely on special compound to win races? Unbelievable...I hope Ferrari destroy Merc at home this weekend.

https://www.planetf1.com/news/another-lead-change-if-mercedes-dont-bungle-it/

The championship lead has changed hands thrice in three races and there’s every indication that it will do so again at Silverstone, unless of course Mercedes botch another one.

Last time out in Austria, Sebastian Vettel was gifted a one-point advantage in the championship race as he came from sixth on the grid to finish third at the chequered flag.

I want our drivers to win for sure , but there's a lot to be said during a great race, namely the other drivers and how they do. If Leclerc is fighting to win, and wins the next race those are points Ferrari dosen't get. Max is considered here as one of the worst drivers ever. I see him as a great driver and wish him with Ferrari. I favor Kimi as the guy I want to win. Ferrari fans wish him to get out , retire! He drives for Ferrari , have a little respect here on this Ferrari forum for one of our own. He's not fighting us , he's one of us. If Ferrari DNFs or is not in a winning place during a race , I just can't help watching the rest of the race to see who wins and the podium drivers. Oh and what tires gets them the win!:rotfl

All drivers make mistakes.

The difference between Seb and Kimi is that Seb has shown he can maximize potential of car and win races with it (2015 and 2017 also) whereas Kimi has not shown he can do that.

What kind of BS-Biased journalism is this? Vettel was gifted the championship lead and will loose it this weekend? How about Ferrari built a more reliable package that doesn't eat its tyres and doesn't rely on special compound to win races? Unbelievable...I hope Ferrari destroy Merc at home this weekend.

The championship lead has changed hands thrice in three races and there’s every indication that it will do so again at Silverstone, unless of course Mercedes botch another one.

Last time out in Austria, Sebastian Vettel was gifted a one-point advantage in the championship race as he came from sixth on the grid to finish third at the chequered flag.

Try the BBC's Andrew Benson. Appalling bias toward HAM and incessant belittling of Ferrari.. Really horrible little buzzard embryo look-alike of a man..

Love your turn of phrase, Nick! Sadly all the UK media fraternity only seem to care about the Brits, not surprisingly, but there are some of us who dare to be different!:-E

I want our drivers to win for sure , but there's a lot to be said during a great race, namely the other drivers and how they do. If Leclerc is fighting to win, and wins the next race those are points Ferrari dosen't get. Max is considered here as one of the worst drivers ever. I see him as a great driver and wish him with Ferrari. I favor Kimi as the guy I want to win. Ferrari fans wish him to get out , retire! He drives for Ferrari , have a little respect here on this Ferrari forum for one of our own. He's not fighting us , he's one of us. If Ferrari DNFs or is not in a winning place during a race , I just can't help watching the rest of the race to see who wins and the podium drivers. Oh and what tires gets them the win!:rotfl

Everyone on this forum should be rooting for a Ferrari-Ferrari-Leclerc podium every weekend, not that it's realistic. Next year, we should be rooting for a Ferrari-Ferrari-Giovinazzi podium every weekend, since Leclerc will be promoted and Gio will fill his old seat.

that would be the ultimate podium this year TBH :pray:-D

Just imagine if Seb was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead in the WDC and Ferrari with Seb and Kimi were waaaaaaaay ahead in the WCC, and we get that podium result at Monza

You cannot have it both ways.
If you are to see Leclerc as an opponent, then you will see Max as an opponent.
Although one will claim (and rightfully so) that Alfa is Ferrari #2 team and whatever mileage they do, it's for our own benefits, so it's for our own benefits that their drivers to do well, and being that Leclerc is our driver (just not driving for Ferrari, yet) , it's for our own benefit to get better.
Also , one should consider that Leclerc at no case is harming our campaign as Alfa is not at the same league to our own.
However, this is not the case with Mad max, or RBR. One could say you support a direct rival to our guys, and that you support RBR.
One could claim you're in direct violation of the rules of this forum.

Kimi is not helping Ferrari, he is costing Ferrari lots of points. I would like to see Kimi win at least 1 race this year before calling it a day.

He just got a #2 , get real.

[mizf1]

Everyone keeps saying this is a Merc track, they have won here for the past 5 years. Was China not a Merc track in terms of pole since 2012 and who ended up getting pole this year?

[From Treviso]

Key words from Vettel: “But the important thing is that we had a good Friday, everything we put on the car seemed to work, and I felt happy with the balance of the car straight away and managed to find a good rhythm from the beginning.”

At this point of the weekend, it's much better to have this than the fastest laps. It would be much worse if the new floor made no gain or created set up issues - it looks like it's in the sweet-spot zone without needing much heavy tweaking!

I'm cautiously optimistic, but it looks like things are really coming together for the team.

Also, Ferrari are using their 6 race old engines for Friday practice (as are most of the other teams), which is a good sign seeing that Ferrari had good sector times and speed trap speeds during the sessions where they're normally running conservative. Either they've changed their tactics by focusing on outright pace, or the track conditions are really making this car shine well above the others right now. I think if it was grey, dark, cold and gloomy, we'd be seeing a totally different scenario. But for now, enjoy the show, which should be quite entertaining!

Cautiously optimistic after today, however I think the mercs and especially hamitlon were sandbagging all to make it look like he pulls pole and the race win out of the bag out of nowhere, I can just imagine Sky and the rest of the UK media now <----insert sick smiley here (mods we need a sick/being sick smiley)

I don't think they are sandbagging they failed to finish both cars last race and track time is extremely important in F1 now w/ no testing during the season except for the few tire tests.

I think it's more likely that Merc spent the day on race trim trying to sort some of their tire wear issues...tomorrow FP3 will show us where things stand as the teams will be looking to prep their cars for qualy.

That would be great, I do feel that GIO is being slightly overlooked in favour of Charles and I hope he doesn't lose out as a result, they are both part of Ferrari's future, hopefully.:thumb

[roddick_andy]

Heard Hamilton visited some camp sites, did any one meet him?

[KimiBot]

Maurizio Arrivabene said after Austria that Silverstone is going to be very tough for Ferrari, they don't expect to perform well there let alone fight for pole or victory. I reckon Red Bull will qualify ahead of Ferraris. It's also not a good track for Vettel - he might qualify 6th.

3 tenths deficit in Austria translates to 8 tenths deficit in Silverstone.

:wave

[paolo lalli]

3 tenths does not equal 8 tenths at silverstone.

It's all Greek to me? :rotfl I'm not sure why hoping for Max @ Ferrari is a bad thing. When Seb was waving his #1 finger when he was with the enemy, every win he was hated here. Now he's a God to most fans. Kimi my favorite is dissed big time here. Wanting at the time; Seb to go to Ferrari was a dream come true for most Ferrari fans regardless of how he acted. I see Max as a future champion and would like him to " Do it" @ Ferrari. With all Max's troubles in practice, he still came in 5th ahead of Dan and only behind the top Merc Ferrari boys. Meanwhile I believe we can do it, this year!!!

Andrew benson is a fool simple as that goes with his thick head and thick skin not very popular at all.

This is not what you do.
You are constantly bashing our drivers and you are supporting Max.

You are supposed to support this team in a Ferrari forum.

Perhaps you don't understand it, perhaps it's all Portuguese to you but the team is everything from the cleaning lady to the drivers.

But are you including my favorite driver Kimi along with the cleaning lady ?
