Night races, is that your point with regards to tire life at Ferrari vs Mclaren?

i said second to Mclaren.

You really need to work harder to pull a gotchya on me.

Stop trying to do so and focus on your reading comprehension skills so we can improve the discourse here.

So you said second to Mclaren at the Bahrain and Jeddah races.

Leclerc came in 4th place at Bahrain....behind McLaren and Mercedes..so really 3rd.

Leclerc came in 3rd place in Jeddah....behind Mclaren and RedBull.

Not second behind Mclaren at both GP's.

Get your information correct.

Iol, look at the laptimes in Jeddah. Like I said, your reading comprehension MUST improve here otherwise we have no hope for good posts.

Mind explaining to me why everyone is still saying everyone is bringing new wings to Spain?

Seems odd if it was all legal in China?

I'm giving you race results smarty-pants. So in reality, Leclerc was 3rd or Ferrari was the 3rd best team at both venues.

Give it a rest already.

Laptimes my

[Cavallino]

despite doing the longest stints at many races like Bahrain and Jeddah. You could argue the Ferrari race tyre life was second to only Mclaren.

i said we did the longest stints in Bahrain and Jeddah. You straw manned because you can't read as has long since been established.

Ferrari is currently 4th in the WCC standings:

1) Mclaren is 1st with both drivers
2) MercedesAMGF1 is 2nd with both drivers
3) RedBull is 3rd with ONE DRIVER
4) Ferrari is 4th with both drivers

Your skewed mentality regarding just 2 races out of 6 in longest stints is like this-->"Hamilton won China's Sprint race.........but both cars got DSQ'd for the race".......which really means diddly-squat.

Besides outstanding drivers salaries Ferrari has to send out 2 outstanding cars ! Podiums are in demand!!

I think this is the picture. These are all with covers off.

McLaren are cheating and that FIA statement confirms it they just can’t prove it. Phase changing materials are illegal and just because at the end of the race the materials are no longer liquid doesn’t mean they haven’t been before.

It's not phase changing materials. It's simply duct work directing airflow through various channels to heat or cool the brakes and rims.

Simple duct tape cannot do this mate, the conditions need to be the same for the whole race which is never.

So there is something fishy going in with the McLaren brakes for sure

Why isn’t Ferrari able to do the same? Stop it already. McLaren does a better job overall.

i'm taking jgonzel's word for it.

he also imformed me that Mclaren's wings are legal and no changes will have to be made for Spain.

yeah liquid cooling isn't allowed, so a phase changing material that is solid, and absorbs heat while it tries to become a liquid would sure be a grey area.

anyone find a video of the Mclaren brake fire a couple years ago?

you're straw manning, where was any of this in what I said.

The Ferrari one looks the simpler than the others.

Just giving you a taste of realism. Get out of your rabbit hole Alice.

Also, this season is way worst than last season.....no sense in sugar coating it.

RB is already working to replicate the break trick from McLaren. Ferrari is still thinking about potential and P4/P5.

lololol....well Fred thinks there is lots of hidden potential that is locked in the car....where?? i have no idea.
but we'll keep chasing our tails all season long to find it and unlock it....depressing

[jgonzalesm6]

MercedesAMGF1 moves from floppy wings to carbon fiber wings ahead of the SpanishGP.
