I don’t know why but that Mercedes diffuser looks bigger & different from rest of the cars

[jgonzalesm6]

I have to admit, there's alot of "business" going on on that Ferrari livery. It's overkill IMO with all these new stickers.

looks wider....like it's almost touching the rear wheels.

They also brought a new rear suspension.

[FerrariF60]

They also brought a new rear suspension.

i thought they already had that "new" suspension already in russia, NO??

[jgonzalesm6]

yeah, the RWS system.

[FerrariF60]

yeah, the RWS system.

lol....no such thing as RWS.....that is banned in F1, NO????

[jgonzalesm6]

130R is not the place to "slow down" to get spacing especially when the other driver is on a FL.

maybe getting RID of that second sensor from the DOUBLE BATTERY so we can get full power again .....ha, ha...

[tifosi1993]

So SS not working properly at current track temp/condition (Air temp 22C, Track temp 25C)

it better, as we have a BOATLOAD of those

[jgonzalesm6]

that was close (Alonso)

[tifosi1993]

Bot 31.281 in S1 on Mediums...that's fast

[tifosi1993]

Vet on SS (sector 1 31.113) vs Hamilton on Softs (sector 1: 31.119)

[FerrariF60]

i know it's just FP1, but those mercs are flying on both Med and Soft tires......they never even tried the SS.....we're just too damn slow

[jgonzalesm6]

Gasly mowing the lawn....

we also seem to be around 6kph slower then the merc's in speed trap.....maybe engine turned down a bit???? or jsut SLOW??

[WS6TransAm01]

Car is nowhere and 10kph down in the trap. Honestly, it's a damn embarrassment. I know we always say it's early and only Friday. We said that las week as well. We all know how that ended up.

hey mate, at least we have more stickers on the car.....HEY, maybe that's what's making it EXTRA SLOW....lol

Why is everyone surprised that Merc is faster than us? Get used to it, we should all be used to it after the last 5 years. It will last until 2021. If we are lucky we will have a chance after that.

i'm not surprised, it's just AMUSING that's all.....some people thought that we might actually had a faster car in the first half.....whereas Mercedes was and had indeed the faster car.....they just let us think that we MAY have a chance this year; but NO, the merc have plenty of power ON TAP and they get to use it and turn that tap whenever they thing that the opposition is faster.....SAD JUST SAD

[tifosi1993]

That was a good lap from Seb on higher fuel run.
