edit: he just did a 1:16:570 -0.430 s
But wasn't he using the old new exhausts? He switched to the new new ones with the red flag?Crucial_Xtreme wrote:He's in the 15's.

edit 2: i think its quite close to what u gain by the EBD in this rack because the two times were put in the closest together...later in the session he will improve as the track will improve as well!
edit 3: in 5 minutes he now did a 1:15:842 -1.158s from the non EBD time
No they were switching exhausts on both cars before the red flag. The fastest time set by a F2012 thus far has been with the new exhaust. Fastest 1st sector. I think this could be a very useful update. The downforce is definitely needed on the F2012 even in Canada.Postmoe wrote:

Yes he did, although according to Ferrari's twitter they had already changed it before the red flag.Postmoe wrote:But wasn't he using the old new exhausts?

Yes, but Vettel lost more than he (I think), so the loss is rather a different one than the one in the earlier stages of the season. This is a completely different pace quality.f1316 wrote:

Looks like he loses most of his time in the final sector though, which might indicate that top speed is still an issue.
More like Lali was again deliberating what to do at the end of the straight.SeijaKessen wrote:Don't know if anyone here caught it, but apparently Vettel pulled another one of his infamous spatial awareness moves on Bruno Senna.
wern't Lotus using SS too?Crucial_Xtreme wrote:The Red Bulls don't look so quick so far. Their times on SS wasn't better than HAM on softs.
All the guys at the top except for Webber & Vettel were using softs. RB was using SS tyres
Yes, Vettel, Webber, Schumacher, Rosberg, Grosjean, Hulkenberg, Ricciardo, De la Rosa, Karthikeyan and Raikkonen were on SS at some points during FP1. But ROS didn't set his fastest time on SS if I'm not mistaken.Gerhard Berger wrote:wern't Lotus using SS too?Crucial_Xtreme wrote:The Red Bulls don't look so quick so far.
