2013 Italian GP - Monza

[Juzh]

The usual suspects upfront after fp2. RB look the strongest on both 1 lap and race pace, and are near the top in the speed traps in all 3 sectors. We don't know the fuel of course. Pretty sure rb ran a bit less than some others. Unusual amount of brake issues and locking for hamilton. Lots of brake dust from number of cars.

But why is Ferrari behind? They brought good amount of upgrades and they work. They do not have problems with the car. Alonso is consistant.

Do any one know What is the Top speed of Both redbull's
They are P 21 and 22 in Speed trap

I guess that's it.

Red Bull generates more downforce through the diffuser (due to use of exhaust gases). Unofrtunately, Ferrari can not replicate this with their engine.

Maybe Ferrari might be able to do something next year when this blown diffuser era is well and truly finished.

Red Bull looks dominant as predicted from their performances in other low df tracks. Point 7 or 8 of a second is a huge gap for Monza. We might get a parade on Sunday but rain has potential to make things interesting.

What's going on, not Red Bull again, and at Monza of all places ? It's even worse and is getting annoying, can those useless F1 designers figure out something to beat them?

Well free practice doesn't really ever tell us much but it is fun to observe

When I participated in prediction games in the past, I found friday free-practice to be very representive for the rest of the weekend.

According to implications from the global consciousness project, we can influence things just by thinking of them.
I suggest we collectivly think at a faulty pitstop for Vettel (narrow it down to left front), that should increase the chances of it happening.

Doesn't work as last three seasons proved. I blame McLaren for 2012, Lotus for 2013 and FIA for not dealing with blowing things properly.

Unfortunaly we'll have to add in Todt and the TWG into the group thinking to make things happen. Perhaps also an assassin to make a hit on Newey.

This is so 2011 all over again... . We had a Ferrari era from 2001 to 2004; another one dominated by one team in roughly ten years is a bit much.

Red Bull is running less fuel then Ferrari and Mercedes in FP2.

Same deal as i said in SPA. It might still be quicker but it won´t be close to a second.
Mercedes unconsciously sandbags with their programme. The cars looks slow and somewhat uncontrollable but it´s just heavier fuel load imo.

Also, did anyone see the heat cameras in FP2? How F´n awesome was that, big thanks to FOM for putting in this technology for the regular viewers.

Agreed, big round of applause for the FoM. What I want to see now is that at various stages throughout the race, to see if this tyre overheating thing really is what happens to the tyre over time.
