2019 Barcelona testing(Circuit de Catalunya)

[AMuS] "Has Formula 1 solved its overtaking problem? It does not look like it. We hear from an engineer that it even has gotten worse. Why? Because the vertical baffles are missing on the front wings..."

i knew it, could see how bad we struggled behind sainz yesterday completely losing grip anytime seb got close and never made the pass

[mwk360]

These RB guys are bunch of crap, they do a lot of talking.
By Melbourne .2 is gone ??, then at this rate by summer break RB are WDC & WCC

lol they the opposite of merc, they talk the biggest of all games, when they correct they celebrate that its all aero when they wrong they usually used to blame renault

[mwk360]

First question to him “wt is his goal” when ham is around ?

[Autobild] This also means that Bottas would not gift a race win to his teammate like in 2018 Sochi

Bottas: "If I were in this situation again, I would act differently."

lol doubt it merc boy, russell/ocon is ready to be hams support the second bottas tries to race equally

Yup... till last year it was all Renault fault.
Now they switched to Honda and are saying it’s better than Renault. So logically they should finish higher up either 1 or 2.
Becoz with Renault engine & RB chassis they achieved 3rd. Let’s see how it turns out to be.

When ham is around, it not gonna happen for him.

leclerc boxed straight away maybe setup issues, good session so far with lots of laps but probably the most i seen the car look off rails from the 4 days so far

I'm pretty sure that they just playing with the set up . I can't believe that a car that for 3 days is the benchmark out there drivibility wise, to suddenly have fundamental balance issues!!!
And remember every year ,even Merc and on their dominant year had moments like this.

Laurence Edmondson from ESPN F1...

The session has stopped for lunch and for the second time this week we have a Toro Rosso at the top of the timesheets. The team bolted C5 tyres (the softest in Pirelli's range) to Alex Albon's car and sent him out on a short run to clock a 1:17.637 -- the fastest time yet this week. Impressive stuff, but further proof that we've yet to see anything close to the true pace of the top teams. Daniel Ricciardo was over a tenth off on the same compound tyre in the Renault, hinting at a tight midfield battle again this year.

Lewis Hamilton finally showed some of Mercedes' potential with a 1:17.977 in the new W10. The time was set on the C4 tyre after a series of relatively short runs between setup changes. Tyre-corrected (i.e. if he was on C5s) he would have been the fastest of the top three, but ominously for Mercedes Charles Leclerc was just 0.069s slower using the harder C3 on a relatively long run. That tends to support the theory in the paddock that Ferrari has the fastest car at the moment and is currently the team to beat.

good point

Herbert says from watching the cars on track, mercedes stood out the most for him, the most stable and able to take corners at higher speeds, but he also said its the heaviest car by far referring to how much fuel mercs were running on those laps this morning before lunch

Not much running done by HAAS again.

KMAG just headed out. I wonder what issues they are having? Hopefully not PU related.

I think electrical issue. Not PU related.

[mwk360]

why is hulk under the bullet lol didnt he beat every teammate so far at renault? and bottas is not under the bullet, his team took away his wins last year and was known as the best wingman by wolff which toto and hamilton wants to keep for harmony and on track team support

This team doesn’t take testing seriously. Last year too, the count was less compared to other teams.
Given technical partnership with Ferrari, haas team are showing poor standards.

[mwk360]

mercs are very powerful in sector 1 especially good on the corners in that sector too according to herbert looks the best at that section based on consistency and the sectors there show them very strong, so could be turned up engine or just good at those type of corners, need to see leclerc on track it just looks great everytime

I like to see ferrari engines make the highest mileage across 8 days. Let's see.

[mwk360]

Herbert about to turn the rest of the session into Hamilton love fest, nonstop comparing him to f1 greats already like yesterday, while everyones ignoring everything on track

[mwk360]

did Bottas just set 1:18:3 on C2???

[h3ro]

mwk360, can you please aggregate your posts together in stead of double posting and please try to use full punctuation?

It's a bit difficult to parse some of your posts due to that.
