I know. It isn't a long stretch at all to believe they do this on a regular base. I wonder how long they are doing, since this is the first time they slipped.stefan_ wrote:Well that's a pretty... low thing to do.
First day of testing in Jerez:Thunders wrote:Well i only say the Car ran a total of 7 Laps today with the fastest Lap being 8 Sec off Pace. There really must be some Magic going on at Enstone, anyhow i cant think of a Reason why that Guy trumps out "We have a super Car".
Like i said i don't want to bash the E22, it might be a super fast Car, but noone can know that by now.
Sorry for OT btw.

Even with "ifs' and "buts" it's more interesting info than "crude, unfinished" "looks like Caterham" comments earlier from this thread. It's not that different to "we're happy with car's development" or sth like that from Chester earlier. Of course McLaren last season also had good numbers in wind-tunnel (downforce compared to 2012 car?)Thunders wrote:As it's coming from Lopez is say thats fishing for Sponsors.

LOPEZ - "We have a super car. The boys can not believe the wind tunnel values., If we implement the downforce on the track, the thing goes like hell. I kan only hope that makes us the engine is not upset by the bill. Not that it one is at the end of three championships. Depending on a Mercedes, Ferrari and Renault. "
Even the Wind Tunnel Numbers are pretty much worthless as long as you don't know the Numbers of the other Teams.Blackout wrote:You're using the lap count. He's using the windtunnel numbers. I'm just saying lap count doesnt count today because it's Lotus's first day

This should be reported to the moderators. This is a place to be creative on ideas. If a publisher finds ideas he likes he should at the very least credit the member.
You might be right. But like Pat Symonds said; the teams want to recover the downforce level they had in 2013, without counting the blown diffuser. He and some other teams said they didnt hit that target yet while omnicorse and maybe Lopez too know that Lotus already reached that target. Why not...Thunders wrote:Even the Wind Tunnel Numbers are pretty much worthless as long as you don't know the Numbers of the other Teams.Blackout wrote:You're using the lap count.

To be clear: He can very well be optimistic. But that Interview he gave there is pure Show with no Numbers to Prove it.

To avoid dragging this discussion on and on, in a word or two: so what? Rosberg is already winning multiple races, do you think he's fishing for sponsors?Thunders wrote:I agree. Maybe they found the Magic Bullet. (In the Wind Tunnel -> MP4/28 says hello )
But he can in no way have any Proof about Track Performance. And in that Case the Interview was ... lets say... "slightly Optmistic" and mostly driven by a commercial Interest..
That was my whole Point.

BTW if you throw times and number of laps in the first test as an argument, how about making some connection to design, what's the point you think you can disprove by it? [Vettel ran 2-3 seconds behind fastest cars but not for long, so?]
Wind tunnel numbers and the whole Amus article were at least relevant.
