That really s me.
Mistake in the second sector and lays off the lap for now :lol Pushing.
Hamilton goes fastest of all in the first sector but loses three tenths in the middle of the lap. Backs off into the 1m41s across the line.
So 3 out of 4 merc engines failed??
Yeah, Sauber has been really sloppy this year. This is the second time they let something as big out (but I can't remember what was the first thing).Quote:

Is it me or are the SS tyres only good for one lap?
Love to hear Alonso did that (1:34s) with more fuel on board and less usage of ERS compared to Mercedes-powered cars.:roll
He's alway trying....Quote:

Surely that best lap had to be set on SS as he is unable to beat it now easilly.
Yes, and Mercedes had a new engine yesterday.Quote:

Don't get too happy because Mercedes engine passed more miles than required and they pushed it to limit to burn it and see where is the engine limit! Other teams are doing it too!Quote:

Not sure anybody mentioned this already, here are the references from last year's race, whatever they're worth:
Pole lap: 1'32.330
Fastest lap during race: 1'36.961
Fuel test I think....Quote:

I wouldn't argue against that. So long as Ferrari is in the mix at the top, I think we'll be fine.Quote:

Please read and understand my post mate.:thumbQuote:

i'm cautiously thinking that the Mercs have a bit more speed then US, whereas the williams did their fast laps on FUMES basically to attract more sponsors as well
as get Martini to sign teh deal a lot quicker....
but i'm sure Ferrari will do their homework well and overcome Mercedes and take the top spot...there is a lot more speed in that Ferrari that we have not seen, or the TEAM want to let us see, JUST YET!!!
