Williams have found that a technical issue with their new rear wing was to blame for Felipe Massa”s spectacular accident in the first free practice session on Friday. The Brazilian crashed into the barriers at turn 1 after he lost control of his car under braking.
Don think so. Monaco was an expection and in Barcelona Ferrari was faster. If Ferrari solves its problems with qualy they will be ahead on this race.Chuckjr wrote:Red Bull are going to surprise this race. I think their engine has finally delivered enough to fight for wins on merit.
Light rain at the begining and at the end would be awesome.

Agree, light rain just after the beginning (so we skip a SC start), would be greatVasconia wrote:Light rain at the begining and at the end would be awesome.

They won in 2011 and 2013. In 2012 they were off the pace.FW17 wrote: Red Bull won both 2012 and 2013 Monza, how did they do it?
Plus the diffence between engines werent that big and the Renault PU worked very well with the RBs chasis.Juzh wrote:They won in 2011 and 2013. In 2012 they were off the pace.FW17 wrote: Red Bull won both 2012 and 2013 Monza, how did they do it?
RB7 and RB9 were simply the best cars on the track at that time and all others who could possibly challenge them (mclaren in 2011, mercedes/lotus in 2013) self destructed in one way or another that weekend.

They also won in 2014 with the worst engine on thee grid. RedBull was often very good at Canada, so if they get their setup together they may fight for the podium again.Vasconia wrote:Plus the diffence between engines werent that big and the Renault PU worked very well with the RBs chasis.Juzh wrote:They won in 2011 and 2013.

Well, the won because Mercedes had a problema but I see your point. For sure they will be strong but in 2014 Ferrari was terrible and now they should be much better.basti313 wrote: They also won in 2014 with the worst engine on thee grid.

So all the times last year renault said their engine upgrade would provide x amount of improvement when in reality there was none , you would call underselling?PlatinumZealot wrote:The thing with Canada is that the braking is large part of the lap time so RedBull might get closer than one would expect. I also feel that the 0.5 seconds engine improvement is a low-ball figure. Renault has always been know to undersell themselves.
Mclaren will not be able to compete against the Merc engines - Williams & FI. TR might be possible9. Who will be the fastest in the mid pack between Williams, Force India, Torro Rosso and Mclaren?
Most likely true but after Monaco I thought I had better put Mclaren into the picture so as not to upset Mclaren Fans.mclaren111 wrote:carisi2k wrote:Mclaren will not be able to compete against the Merc engines - Williams & FI.

McLaren will struggle here

Yes, Mercedes should be superior here and Ferrari shoud return to form. So If I see a RB fighting for the win, I will be surprised.Chuckjr wrote:So you would be surprised if Red Bull fought for the win on merit?Vasconia wrote:Don think so.
