Max 1.17.709 on C3, so about .1 slower then Bottas with the tyre difference?
So Sainz did a 1:16.913 on C5, what do we think: are they competitive in the midfield? Track & air temp. a lot cooler then yesterday so time isn't to bad I would say?

It's not how start but how you finish.
so bottas has 16.9 with c4 ... most likely they can do a 16.3 with same tyre compound. so with c5 they should be able to a mid tho high... 15

Honda is joining!
Bot 1:16.561 on C5, track temp still 11 degrees celcius, good time
10:38
Bottas goes fastest!
It's a 1:16.561 for Bottas as Mercedes bolt on the C5s for the first time today. That's three tenths down on Ferrari's best on that tyre from yesterday.
But a strong first lap on the quickest compound from the Finn, who will now hope to extract more performance and time before lunch.
Vettel up to third for Ferrari
Sebastian Vettel finally bolts on a soft tyre and goes third, posting his quickest time of F1 2019 - a 1:16.929.
That was on the C4, so a step harder than Bottas'.
Interestingly, that time was almost identical to Bottas on the same compound.
Yesterday Charles did 16.6 on C4's, and the track was warmer.
Seb 1:16.970 on C3, nice
Dont think so. It was his time on C4s
FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!
according to this article: https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/14...019-tyre-types
1.9 sec. so a 1.15.3, I doubt they will reach it on this circuit
Typical Hamilton comment, say others are fastest then turn up the wick in Q3 for comfortable pole and claim it was all due to him.Ferrari are the fastest - Lewis Hamilton
The latest from Lewis Hamilton's press briefing
"The last couple of days have been particularly good, we have been improving every day.
"Testing is testing. There's no reward for being quick in Testing.
"Ferrari are the fastest.
"This is going to be the toughest battle yet.
"Ferrari's pace is very, very good at the moment. The challenge is going to be harder than ever."
