Don't believe anything from Lawrence Barretto's report on practice performance on F1.com. The guy is almost always wrong.

I might be wrong, but Ferrari seemed intentionally not deploying a whole lot to keep their porpoising under control (less speed less porpoising), if they arrive at a better compromise they'll cut this 10 KPH a bit.Spoutnik wrote: ↑08 Apr 2022, 11:47I also think RB know Ferrari got the a bit of hedge for pole if one of their driver makes a perfect lap (unlike in Jeddah), so they are focusing on the race, with 4 DRS zones and 10kph of extra-speed we'll see another battle with Verstappen or Perez coming from 0.9 to the tail of the Ferrari despite no significant pace advantage.
Absolutely. This was the case over many seasons now. Ferrari runs more power on Fridays and, thus, unlocks less on Sat compared to Merc and Bull since long time. It was just not visible in the last two years as they were not on the top in FPs by other reasons. But this was obvious in 2018, they use a bit of a different approach in FPs.
You can't sandbagg power in corners. That's where RB is struggling atm.basti313 wrote: ↑08 Apr 2022, 14:25Absolutely. This was the case over many seasons now.

Watched the onboards, Lap 3 of Sainz's run he locked up in 15 and had grip/graining issues from then on.dialtone wrote: ↑08 Apr 2022, 10:09LEC

race sim from the top 4 drivers, SAI for some reason is a bit behind.

It was bizarre, been watching for 35 years and I can’t remember anything similar. If you need to return to the garage you use the access roads, not the track. At that point the track is for recovery/medical support vehicles.vorticism wrote: ↑08 Apr 2022, 16:18So that buys a few drinks for the FIA guys tonight. Job done. Honestly that's quite amusing to read.
Sidenote it would seem the scooter was not the issue, merely a driver setting foot on track during that time period. He'd have gotten the same penalty whether he'd scootered back, walked back, ran back, bicycled back, been chauffered back by a stewards car, roller skated back (unlikely, I know), pogo sticked back, been carried back by some random fans jumping the fence, rode a wild kangaroo within the vicinity back, been chased back by a drop bear, been hovered back by a few of the camera drones, been swept up and back by a pod of remaining porpoises, etc.
It's not his numbers obviously.
Downforce pushing the car down and the lateral load(it's easy flat but it's still a turn) pushing it further down perhaps? And once the bouncing starts it's hard to stop.
DAMN, that's one expensive scooter ridesilver wrote: ↑08 Apr 2022, 16:06This is becoming ridiculous by FIA!
