I don't see FI being quicker than Mercedes in qualy or the races anytime soon.Artur Craft wrote:Frankly, I only see potential of even FI, for instance, being faster than Mercedes.

Imo, last race could have been also much better for him if he didn't flatspot his tyre and had to stop his commitment to a 2 stopper. The potentional to win races certainly is there.
Artur Craft does. Cant see it myself. It just seems he has nothing good to say about Mercedes, I dont like Red Bull or Ferrari, but I can appreciate how good they are, and how fast they are. Some people just cant seem to see past their hate.Dyanxx wrote:I don't see FI being quicker than Mercedes in qualy or the races anytime soon.Artur Craft wrote:Frankly, I only see potential of even FI, for instance, being faster than Mercedes.

Which has to be encouraging as it appeared the Red Bull struggled at about lap 10 on the harder tyres earlier in the same session. Does anyone know if the hards Red Bull used, and the Mediums Rosberg used were all new ?atanatizante wrote:Toto Wolf said on RTL that both drivers are moaning about a little bit to oversteery car and they are working to cure that in FP3.

Both RBR drivers did a 10 lap stint on the hard tyre and their times were very consistent in the 1.44 bracket and it was just 1 sec. between the fastest and the slowest time ...NathanOlder wrote:Which has to be encouraging as it appeared the Red Bull struggled at about lap 10 on the harder tyres earlier in the same session.

I'm not quite sure they're too different - high stability, high grip setups, both with an eye for increasing corner pace, even if it sacrifices straight line pace, because the increased cornering pace outweighs the straight line loss.atanatizante wrote:Did they copy last years RBR philosophy or they have a wet setup in mind?
