Kimi Raikkonen has converted a brilliantly working 2-stop strategy to a race wing for Lotus, immediately confirming the long run pace of the E21. Fernando Alonso finished in second place, 10 seconds behind while Sebastian Vettel completes the podium in third.
will they get to test the supersoft this afternoon?raymondu999 wrote:Everyone's been making a hoo-hah about the tyres this year, but this year (with 22 cars) people covered a total of 406 laps. Last year, with 24 cars, they covered 368. That's 15.3 laps per car last year, compared to 18.5 laps per car this year.
The Mclaren looked smooth, yet Hamilton was messy? how you work that out? from what I saw the Mclaren looked average, I know they were running heavy but it certainly didn't look very good either.GrizzleBoy wrote:The Ferrari sounds like it has massive acceleration.
The McLaren looked smooth, albeit a second off the pace.
The Red Bull was a Red Bull.
The Mercedes, Lewis tried to drive it like a McLaren and it obviously didn't drive like one. Messy, but still able to set a time.
I've noticed most of the teams are literally scared to turn the cars in at corner entry. Looks like another tyre management year, on a much greater scale.
Everyone is going round corners like they're driving front wheel drive ford fiestas lol.
I don't think the Mclaren looking smooth and Hamilton messy is quite the paradox you think it isDyanxx wrote: The Mclaren looked smooth, yet Hamilton was messy? how you work that out? from what I saw the Mclaren looked average, I know they were running heavy but it certainly didn't look very good either.
