No surprise from the Sky pundits showing their biasness towards Mercedes. I hope the sidepod-less W13 fails and action from RedBull about the legality of the W13 goes forward.

**alfaromeo** · 10th March 2022, 07:09

The difference is obvious all teams work narrow hips and go to extremes like Mercedes. Ferrari is a completely different philosophy

If Sky says so, we're in a good route, the most biased media by far.

**alfaromeo** · 10th March 2022, 07:39

F1 TV covers it and live timing is also available. There is probably a stream somewhere.

Horner about the new Mercedes: "The new Mercedes violates the spirit of the regulations. For us, there are some parts that are not legal."

based on what? I see nothing wrong with what Mercedes has done.

In Barcelona, teams put in 30 requests to see if those requests can get FIA approval regarding the regulations. It's early days to see whtat teams can get away with.....we are still waiting.

It's not you. Mercedes are trying alot of things to get the setup right. Let's hope more issues pop up regarding cooling and the heat in Bahrain.

**Riccardog** · 10th March 2022, 08:22

just realized why merc removed the sidepods bulk.... it is because lh wanted angela SOOOOO much closer to him while in the car.....

They had isues last year as well. What I've learned from all these years of Merc dominance is that they sadly can sort out their issues when it counts...

agreed. It won't take them long.

Useless Timing Info:

Charles 1:34.531 (29.945 - 40.968 - 23.608 - 318)

Hamilton 1:36.365 (30.366 - 41.898 - 24.029 - 317)

**Kyss4k** · 10th March 2022, 08:32

I'll say this much... with all that time we've had since we sacrificed last season, if we failed in the car design, it would be totally unacceptable. And seeing how agresive Redbull and Mercedes managed to be compared to our car even when having way less time since they were fighting for the championships, we kinda failed already. Hopefully agressive dos not equal the fastest.

For now seems true

**alfaromeo** · 10th March 2022, 08:41

Slowly slowly it’s just about testing… if that was realistic it would be

Agree !!! Hope they'll surprise us!!

Charles was throwing the car around aggressively, aka he already has the confidence in the car. And Ferrari isn't even looking for quick times.

With 80 laps onboard, my overall feeling is quite positive. And as always, I'm going to ignore the lap times, even if we are ahead by 4-seconds!

80 laps??
