For those who don´t have the time to watch the entire video, go directly to timecode 8:20. That shot showing the Mercedes is a perfect example, we can here there the PU accelerating, braking (harvesting), the kerb, and the tires working.
A lot of info just with proper sound!
1:17's? These cars will be lucky to beat the 08 cars, this means the 2017 cars are slower in the corners.BosF1 wrote:Bottas showing a bit more of Merc's hand? 1:19.3 on supersoft tyres

I do wonder then if as we keep seeing purples in sectors 1&2 if teams are having to remind drivers to 'chill' to keep their real pace in their pockets.turbof1 wrote:Definitely private. Remember, this is actually not an official fia sanctioned event. That's why we don't see any bodyparts outside the garage and neither is there a ban on these fences in front of the box they use to keep prying eyes away.Restomaniac wrote:Something I always wondered was about team radio during testing.
Is it open like on race days or is it private?

Thanks, it must be something serious because Kimi is still stuck in 15 laps and we have no info from the team.Santozini wrote:Vasconia wrote:Ferrari is quite quiet, any problem reported???Might be this...ripper wrote:Ferrari did few laps, some problems incoming?
