[Winter]

Kimi on the gravel

[LivingHitokiri]

Omg, we got problem with the second engine now
?
Kobayashi reported he saw oil in turn 4.....

[AfterLife]

What they are doing????Everything are going to hell

Apparently the problem was the unwanted mixture of oil and fuel burning together in that video.

Who said second engine?

[Winter]

Are these engines counted in to those engines to use per season?

Usually lot of smoke means unwanted burning of oil. But there can be many reasons for that, from simple oil leak to severe internal engine failure.

[LivingHitokiri]

Didnt we wasted all this time in the garage in order to change his engine ? i saw report saying ti was engine and it would take 9 hours for them to change the PU and taking into consideration the time we took to get Raikkonen out i used we did that.
If its not then im glad, but, what the hell was that smoke when he stopped in the morning, oil leak ?

It might be another's car oil and Kimi just went out because of it, we don't know yet.

[Winter]

Lewis hit to the track. bye bye to our fastest time..

[Nova]

Well, Kimi fastest but with problems..mabey they have the wick turned up to see just what will break
b4 they do it in a race. Its testing, so better to find the problems now. N they have to do this, we r simply
too slow in the races, so fire it up boys. I think its a good sign.

The fact that raikkonen did faster lap on tests than he ever did during the qualifying even under major problems shows positive sings that the new parts we are testing are faster for sure, lets hope they are faster by a lot.

There's a lot of variable things between the testing conditions and qualifying/race conditions. These times means absolutely nothing.

They don't really mean nothing otherwise there would be no point in testing.

There shouldn't be so much differences to qualifying conditions. And as it has rained after quali, the track shouldn't be much faster either.

[Nero Horse]

Can Ferrari be any worse ?

YES! Take a look at where Mclaren is with their Merc engines LOL. We still have at least some things going for us, like reliability...we are the only team that has managed to finish with both cars in every race this season and only once outside the points.

[AfterLife]

Maybe we test nitro to compensate lack of hp
We will have one of these switches in the car cockpit.

[Winter]

Ok, half of a second behind Marussia today, not bad..

[LivingHitokiri]

CHilton fastest in the day one... albeit on supersoft but i still lold.

[LivingHitokiri]

According to the media here in Greece Raikkonen did indeed change his engine....

[bondilad]

Does anyone know on what tyres the times were set today?

[LivingHitokiri]

Does anyone know on what tyres the times were set today?

Chilton on SS, Pic on Soft, Hamilton medium, Raikkonern Soft, Massa medium as same for the rest.

[bondilad]

Thx. Hopefully we'll do some serious milage tomorrow.

And to think after Australia we had people on here telling us how Ron Dennis is the genius that made them brilliant overnight.

Isnt Marussia Ferrari powered? They were faster than us!

Yeah. They were faster than us from the beginning of this season, but i don't know why they lose the path in every race!?

Mercedes: moving the ballast on the W05 Hybrid

The technicians at Brackley they added the pats of tungsten front wing of Hamilton
May 13, 2014 17:12 Mercedes: moving the ballast on the W05 Hybrid

The Mercedes continues to experiment: test in Barcelona has seen a front wing is identical in form to that which was used in the Spanish GP Lewis Hamilton won Sunday. The difference was only in the arrangement of the ballast : look at the neutral central profile which now has the "flaps" the largest and most advanced of which are hidden under the cakes of tungsten . On W05 , then, the engineers at Brackley would have arrived at the limit of the distribution front of the weights (the FIA rules, in fact, requires a minimum of 314 kg on the front and 369 on the back, having 9 kg to move ... to find the best balance.) The image shows that the weight has been moved on the front , perhaps to avoid oversteer which just Lewis had complained in the last laps of the race on Sunday (which was solved with a stiffer rear differential). The modification imposes a greater load of the front wing (to avoid generating understeer, but allows to download slightly back, favoring a greater maximum speed.

Oooh maybe he will end up in the same place Martin Whitmarsh is.
Which is... um...

Oh.
