Kimi Raikkonen topped the final day of pre-season testing before all teams are heading off to Australia for the first Grand Prix of the season. Fernando Alonso went second fastest in the morning, just like Raikkonen lapping on soft Pirelli tyres. Senna for Williams went third fastest.
i think everyone uses the green bit of the track in that corner..its the fastest corner of the track and they need all of its widthNoDivergence wrote:Running very very wide even onto the green section of the runoff on the exit
That's not really a problem unless the track is very wet.NoDivergence wrote:Running very very wide even onto the green section of the runoff on the exit
Don't pay him any attention. Any time he is ever in a Ferrari thread it is only to bash the team.GrizzleBoy wrote:That's not really a problem unless the track is very wet.NoDivergence wrote:Running very very wide even onto the green section of the runoff on the exit
He's just using all of the track imo.
They don't "need" it by any means. But they do it so they can "steal" a bit more laptimeamouzouris wrote:i think everyone uses the green bit of the track in that corner..its the fastest corner of the track and they need all of its widthNoDivergence wrote:Running very very wide even onto the green section of the runoff on the exit

Yep, I was watching with sound off (girlfriend isn't looking forward to F1 season at all so having to watch clandestinely). When you put sound on it seems right, looked like it took the corner well.FakeAlonso wrote:Looks 1x speed to me.
The car looks planted, I wonder which exhaust setting/placing they used when he did this, they possibly found a way to heat/blow into the diffuser?Crucial_Xtreme wrote:No problem in high speed curves it seems...
I tried different speeds with VLC and 1x is the most convincing. The car looks well balanced. I hope they are not as bad as they say.bonjon1979 wrote:Yep, I was watching with sound off (girlfriend isn't looking forward to F1 season at all so having to watch clandestinely).

Not bashing the team, bashing the car. It is and has been admitted to be by essentially all members involved, bad. In other words, I'm doing the exact opposite of bashing the team but rather completely and totally agreeing with themCrucial_Xtreme wrote:Don't pay him any attention.

Yep you're mistaken and also "running very very wide onto the green section of the runoff of the exit".NoDivergence wrote:Actually, if I'm not mistaking the corner, the Ferrari always runs a bit wide whereas the McLaren doesn't even need to touch the rumble strips
It's not about needing to or not needing to – it's simply the fastest line through the corner.Crucial_Xtreme wrote:NoDivergence wrote:Running very very wide even onto the green section of the runoff on the exitYep you're mistaken and also "running very very wide onto the green section of the runoff of the exit".NoDivergence wrote:Actually, if I'm not mistaking the corner, the Ferrari always runs a bit wide whereas the McLaren doesn't even need to touch the rumble strips
