Ricciardo puts on a set of the C4 in much cooler track conditions and finds himself 1.4 seconds down on Sainz's time in the heat of the day. Interesting.

Here is the first stint of Charles from last year, on his race sim. (Took this as this was done at a similar time of the day).

The stint in the tweet is the second stint so need that for comparison

Aston showed a very strange jostling motion in T8 after Stroll locked up.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but did Lewis set the fastest time on the C3's so far in testing? Obvious caviar that max didn't run today

Oh yeah. Sorry about that. Here is the second stint data from last year. They didn't do a 3rd stint as they ran out of time as there was a red flag right when they started the sim.

There we go!

Perez 1.30.6 on the C3 (not that good of a lap)
Hamilton 1.31.0 on the C3

So at least 0,5 ahead for Red Bull! With Max in it it’s probably another 0,5…

If you are just going to grab random figures out the air might aswell make Redbull 5 seconds faster.

Currently 3rd stint from Sainz is looking stellar! It's way faster than what Perez did earlier in the day. Unless temperatures (12C difference) can have such a drastic impact on lap times, Ferrari seems faster over a race sim. An average of 2 seconds difference between Perez's 3rd stint and Sainz's. Hopefully I am not drunk.

“Random figures” = checking the median difference between Perez and Verstapen the last 3 years! :wink:

Sparking everywhere. Going wide a lot. Second off Ferrari.
