2017 F1 general testing thread

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a memorable moment as the McLaren of Vandoorne is now the only car actually driving on track!
*Sheds a tear*

*wishes for the car to break down immediately just to see how fast BosF1's tears of joy turn into heat of rage*

edit: well, that turned faster than I could type my message . Thank you genie in a bottle .

Not anymore... red flag because it stopped at the end of the pitlane (-> mandatory engine switch not a joke?)

[Sevach]

But this is obvious. That is not sandbagging that is not so wise at all. Because they reveal the sector times from 1&2. Unless they don't give a damm and just follow testing program.

Sandbagging is stupid, Mercedes(or Ferrari) isn't gonna take a slower(or faster) car to Australia because of Vettel's(Bottas) lap time, they'll take what they have to take.

That was just teasing.

Anyways, Mclaren... again.

[BrunoH]

already broke down again.. honda.. lol

[BrunoH]

Guys its just the first failure for Mclaren on the track, other teams also had stoppages on the track, right ? It's alright yes ?

[Sevach]

That's quick... I hope there's an onboard so we can compare with Bottas.

Well I don't think Bottas was pushing very hard either. Might we finally get a battle between Merc, Ferrari and possibly Williams/Red Bull?

Bottas was pretty on point i think, even hustling the car a bit through the chicane and no lifts.

There's no telling on engine modes and if he had 15 kilos more than necessary however.

That reminds me: somebody should mob that place. It's getting pretty moist there.

[FrukostScones]

So 1.18.6 is possible for Ferrari. In the end maybe 1.18.0 .... Is that quick enough?

Moist... Why Alan... why...

The Mclaren is totally reliable. You can coun't on it to broken every time you want. I hope that Honda cars aren't made the same way they make F1 engines.

Vettel just did a 1:19.164 on Ultra Softs and pitted straight after ... under 1.19" today possible
