Not to be a buzzkill, but Ferrari asked Kimi to go to severe fuel save mode later in the stint. Any idea what his pace was after that? Also if anyone has Williams info, it would be good for a comparo.

Hoping Ferrari's gains are for real. As long as they don't fight with Force India and are in touching distance of the Williams/RB, it should be good.

Impressive pace by Kimi. Sebastian seriously needs to improve his race pace. Last season he used to be fast at one lap but Ricciardo was better on race. It could happen the same this season and Vettel can accept this.

Kyyat is a good driver, he showed it last year being so young and unexperienced. Anyway he needs to gain some strenght/be more aggressive when he tries to defend his position and when he tries to overtake.

I think this RB has some issues which make difficult for the drivers to handle it.

I think its actually not that bad for Vettel, the biggest differince is in the last couple od laps and he had some lock-ups and he was running a bit wide then

McLaren might run for just a few laps.
FI is probably pretty slow.

Lets all thank Bernie for this wonderful F1 he's giving to the fans. ¬¬'
We could blame Bernie about many things but not this. If FI and Mclaren have done an awful is their exclusive responsability. And Manor´s and Sauber´s financial/legal problems are only a good example of bad management.

But even with a no so big difference Kimi is still faster, I still think that Sebastian needs to improve a little bit his race pace. Anyway Ferrari looks good.

It goes slow but even going so slow it makes mistakes/has realiability problems like confusing the soft and medium tyres. :mrgreen:
