Ricciardo (medium): Outlap - 1:29.8 - 1:29.7 - 1:29.8 - 1:29.7 - 1:30.0 - 1:29.8 - 1:29.7 - 1:30.0 - 1:29.8 - 1:29.7 - 1:29.8 - 1:30.1 - 1:29.7 - 1:29.8 - 1:30.2 - 1:30.0 - 1:30.1 - 1:37.8 - 1:35.4 - 1:30.8 - Inlap.

Verstappen (medium): Outlap - 1:29.0 - 1:28.5 - 1:29.2 - 1:29.6 - 1:29.8 - 1:30.2 - 1:30.1 - 1:30.3 - 1:30.8 - 1:31.2 - 1:30.8 - 1:30.7 - 1:31.0 - 1:31.1 - 1:31.4 - 1:31.7 - 1:32.2 - 1:32.4 - 1:32.0 - 1:32.2 - 1:32.2 - 1:32.6 1:33.5 - Inlap

Looks like the Torro Rosso is eating it's tires compared to the RedBull.

@frukostscones: VET has a 1:22.8. Dunno when he sat that, but apparently at the time you posted you were neither drunk or "sconed" (you are gonna kill me for both the bad pun and abusing your name, aren't ya?).

On ultra softs!

[gandharva]

UltraSofts are NOT SuperSofts! Frukostscones is right!

Guys!

Yeah just shoot me already, and that other guy . Vettel also set a time on the supersoft, which is equivelant to perez his time, also set on supersoft.

Doesn't bode well for Ferrari. Track evo, fuel amount yadda yadda but it still seems they wont be close to Merc. Maybe half a second or so...

16:23 Verstappen has finished his long stint. The lap times on medium: out-lap - 1: 29.0 - 1: 28.5 - 1: 29.2 - 1: 29.6 - 1: 29.8 - 1: 30.2 - 1: 30.1 - 1: 30.3 - 1: 30.8 - 1: 31.2 - 1: 30.8 - 1: 30.7 - 1: 31.0 - 1: 31.1 - 1: 31.4 - 1: 31.7 - 1: 32.2 - 1: 32.4 - 1: 32.0 - 1: 32.2 - 1: 32.2 - 1: 32.6 1: 33.5 minutes - Inlap ,

16:26 Also Ricciardo has completed his last endurance test: out-lap - 1: 29.8 - 1: 29.7 - 1: 29.8 - 1: 29.7 - 1: 30.0 - 1: 29.8 - 1: 29.7 - 1: 30.0 - 1: 29.8 - 1: 29.7 - 1: 29.8 - 1: 30.1 - 1: 29.7 - 1: 29.8 - 1: 30.2 - 1: 30.0 - 1: 30.1 - 1: 37.8 - 1: 35.4 - 1: 30.8 - Inlap. A fairly constant long run, apart from the two outliers in the end. Maybe the traffic due.

16:40 Vettel decides to get into the box. His stint on the medium: out-lap 1: 28.5 - 1: 28.6 - 1: 28.7 - 1: 29.1 - 1: 29.0 - 1: 29.3 - 1: 29.7 - 1: 29.5 - 1: 29.7 - 1: 29.4 - 1: 29.5 - 1: 29.7 - 1: 29.8 - 1: 29.9 - 1: 30.0 - 1: 29.8 - 1: 30.4 - 1: 30.0 - 1: 30.3 - 1: 30.0 - 1: 30.1 - 1: 30.5 - 1: 33.9 (distance taken to Rosberg) - Inlap. How Ricciardo very consistent. Looks good at Ferrari.

Can you elaborate? I find it difficult to understand your statement

[mclaren111]

Anybody seen sector times ??

I think he means Vettel is only 2 seconds faster on ultras than a Merc running on mediums.

[Chene_Mostert]

Well if you keep fuel load the same as your med run, then theoretically your time gain should be from the Tyres only?
I am willing to bet there is 2sec between med and ultra.

[TzeiTzei]

If last year's Sauber can do a 25,2 on softs, then there is a lot more to come from top cars.

[FrukostScones]

from this footage... ALO has to be dissatisfied.

Only thing now, is he strong enough?
