But didnt rb do one more stop then lotus as an example

[raymondu999]

I don't think that matters in this discussion - because RB were capable, like for like, of going through a longer stint than Lotus (in Sepang)

Well i just thought it would be since Vettel only did 2 more laps on the medium at the most then Kimi, but Kimi instead did over 20 on the hard which none of the top teams did, not counting actual pace here tho just actual laps on them, i assume the actual pace would be better on short hard stints like RB and Merc compared to lotus long stints on hard, but i guess someone could check that.

Edit: When looking at the F1fanatic lapchart comparing Kimi and Vettel after their 3rd stops it looks like Kimis pace on his last stint would be comparable or better then Vettel if they would have been next to each other on track before the last stint.

So did RB do 2 short Hard stints cause they thought it would be the fastests or cause they couldnt make the hard tyre work without wearing it out to fast?

Well Vettel said in the room before the podium ceremony (to Adrian Newey) that "the option was clearly the faster tyre today" - which suggests that they wanted to minimize the time on the hard tyre - leading both red bulls to maximise their existing new sets of options.

Which two stints are you comparing by the way? Vettel's stints on the hard were heavier than Mimi's, and his last stint was on options as opposed to Kimi's primes.

I looked after the 3rd pit stop, i think from lap 34 to 42 they were on the Hard at the same time, then Vettel pitted for Option and Kimi stayed out and there from i tried to calculate how much faster he was then Kimi but i got bored, but just looking at it it does look like its not enough to actually beat Kimi if they would have been next to each other on track, aka i dont think Vettels last stint was quicker then the delta time in the pits, might be wrong tho but it does look like it.

From the information that I received this morning from Spain shows that the Red Bull team went to the track IDIADA to check new aerodynamic package.'s Likely that the main task of which was brought before the engineers team from Milton Keynes is to test a new system of suppressive pressure of the rear wing. So far, none of the teams have decided to use it mainly due to the characteristics of the object, which took place the first two eliminations this season.

As suggested by the Italian press in the coming days on the track IDIADA should also receive the Ferrari team.

@Pablo (I am Spanish). How does the first sentence follow from the second (a tweet I assume)? Context, please?

[Ferraripilot]

Explain 'suppressive pressure wing' please

[Ferraripilot]

They're testing their DRD at Idiada. Such as system would be of massive benefit in CHina

[lio007]

is there any "spanish-specialist" who can sum up what was tweeted there https://twitter.com/F1Stars_spain?

only about DRD or also about some other bits?

Anybody has some info on Redbull using a FRIC system? Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand, the FRIC is used for car stability and constant ride height. Could it be possible, that RB are trying to achieve the same goal with movable parts (wings, sidepods, atc.)acting as a mass damper? It's been discussed in the last years car thread. Here is a nice video, which was already posted.

So if we try to imagine that from 0:00 to 0:18 we see a "classic" front wing and after 0:20 a flexi front wing. Offcourse it would be very difficult to fine tune it. Would this be legal?

[Rikhart]

As long as the wings pass the tests, its legal, no matter all the flexing/vibrating they keep doing, in spite of sterner and sterner tests.

oh please dont bring it up again.
