2015 Spanish Grand Prix FP 1 & 2 & 3

[PURE PASSION]

Why lap times seems to be slower (or in the best case similar) to last year??
This years cars,suppose to be sec and more faster then last year!!!!

And that would be great. Solid 3 and 4, 5 races in know one could dream within 0.5 of Merc and solid 3 and 4 after all the changes and last years performance. This was a year of transition and we were told to expect pain to start with but this has not been the case. They should close on Merc during the year but after 5 races to be right up there is asking a bit much.

On the upgrades the more grip the track and tyres give the more scope to take advantage of increased downforce. Maybe as track is grippier than yesterday they will change sidepod back on Kimis car.

Would've been very important to get representative lap with mediums for Kimi to know witch parts to use in race. The old pods were half a second faster with hard tires and they had no decent lap with mediums.

mediums should be 1.5 sec faster, and Kimi was only 0.4 sec faster, so we could take 1.1 sec from Kimi`s time to get right time?

We don't know how good the parts are, but what we do know is that Seb prefered to have them on his car today and Kimi didn't, so I think we just need to leave Kimi's car as it is, are as he likes it.. Perhpas it's not as fast as with the new parts, but if Kimi doesn't like it, we will loose more I think..

But if the same .5 would have stayed with mediums, maybe Seb would consider the same parts. Useful info lost there..

@Winter Yes it was. We've got new rear wing tonight.

Maybe Sebs run on hard was nit representitive? The gao between him and others grew when he did laps on medium. So many variables but the team will have all information to hand for the most informed decision.

I thought Kimi ran with everything new just not the re shaped sidepods?

Agree,
It was a silly mistake that cost us. What I'm saying is: we shouldn't change to much now based on assumption (data that we don't have, but think there might be) since that could disturb Kimi..

I deleted it cause I thought I was totally wrong

Martin Brundle suggesting the new parts given to Vet over Kimi, 1st driver and 2nd driver. Did they not make parts for both cars?

Kimi going out again on medium, turning a set of the faster tyres

They did, kimi tried the all new package on friday too. He just opted to use the old sidepods this morning

[Ed Harley]

Race engineer:"OK, Kimi, we have a wrong setting".
KR: "Excellent, excellent!"

Kimi shouldn't drive for Ferrari in 2016. Get Verstappen or Hulkenberg for 2016.

[Ed Harley]

Sure, that'll improve the car.
