2023 Pre-Season Testing - Bahrain International Circuit, Feb 23 - 25

[Vanja #66]

I saw 316 km/h on C5 lap

[avantman]

318 on last lap (316 on speed trap)

That's quite a good speed with that rear barn door

[AMG.Tzan]

What amazes me is that Mercedes is running the biggest wings yet even on the C5 tires it’s slower through sector 2 which hasn’t got long straights!

Just imagine what kind of problems they are going to have this year….

We don't know fuel loads

Leclerc improves again. 1m31.024s C4

[MDrop17]

Russell is on a race sim

Russell is on a race sim

Can you keep an eye on the times?

He is on C3. I saw his first lap was a 1.39.1. most recent 1.39.6... 140.1, 140.5 His deg is terrible

He is on C3. I saw his first lap was a 1.39.1. most recent 1.39.6

Last couple of laps have been around the 1.40s, now more around the 1.40.5 which is to be expected considering he's now on 11 laps of what will be the soft tyre next week

Perez has started what might be a race sim too. Looks like not

[F1ern]

Leclerc too maybe. Started low 38 on C3

[Spoutnik]

Leclerc too maybe. Started low 38 on C3

Into the mid 1.40s by lap 8

[MDrop17]

Russell has pitted after 15 laps on the C3 with his last laptime 1.40.6. Back out on another set of C3s and doing 1.38.6. Leclerc looks to be doing a race sim as well, he is around the 1.40.5, I don't think Perez is doing a race sim because he's driving around in the 1.36

[organic]

Ferrari still don't have a good setup.
