Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.djos wrote:I think if there is any chance of RedBull staying with Renault for 2016 then they need to bite the bullet and test the new PU in Texas.
But not for the race day, meh....its always the same, we will end watching a sunny race.
Call it fantasy if you want. The Mercedes has a great traction and about this race, if nothing strange happens they will smash the competence. I would like to see Rosberg putting Lewis under pressure, for the sake of an exciting race,but also to see the real gap between them and the rest of the teams.SiLo wrote:Apart from Singapore, I still don't understand where this notion that Red Bull and Ferrari has better traction that Mercedes has come from.

I remember a Red Bull overataking a guy in that right tripple apex! was unbelievable.godlameroso wrote:This track isn't as aero heavy as it appears, most teams generate similar high speed downforce, where they differ greatly is how soon that downforce comes on, Sector one has the bulk of all the high speed stuff, mostly though it requires stability on turn in, which Mercedes seems to have more than everyone else. As the aero provides plenty of grip to put the power down out of the corners. Sector two is all power, all slow turns proceeded by power dependent events, going up the hill and down the long straight. Sector three is the slow to mid speed stuff, that triple apex right hander is essentially the same for everyone. Here putting down the power on corner exit is critical, a place the Ferrari and Red Bull excel at over the Mercedes.
I notice Mercedes use a few clips from the Codemasters F1 game in the track previews.
rainwater was leaking off a bridge over the track on race day when the sun started to shine though and the race had to be delayed, let's hope they sealed that thingsgth0mas wrote:Texas is notoriously unpredictable when it comes to weather. The same thing happened this april at motogp...rain both practice and qualifying...dry and relatively hot race.
