The Toro Rosso has just done a 1m19.8 on US. These cars are indeed rapid across the board (With the obvious exeception).

Crazy fast for Ferrari and on supersofts. Like Clarkson once said. Ferrari is good in F1 if they make shitty road cars, and bad in F1 when they make amazing road cars. Now for few years we had amazing road cars from Ferrari and this year 812 Superfast came. It is ruined tdf, so it should be a good year for F1 divison :D

A red flag that's not from Mclaren - the HAAS has cut out - McLaren are rumoured to be investigating the potential to sue for copyright breach, but are expected to settle for rental charges on the recovery team.

Don't think so if a STR does a 1.19.8 on ultra's.
Mercedes AMG + Hamilton => dreamteam!
If you can't beat'em, call Masi!

Who knows. Recent history would say no. However that is VERY rapid by the Ferrari.

Sad thing here is that although top 3 teams may be able to do high 1.17s with ultra softs...in May's race they will only use soft,medium,hard!! So we will not see the full potential! Or maybe because it will be May and temps and downforce by then will be up, softs will be ok then! Let's see...

Autosport - '11:48 The recovery of the Haas begins. Reports that the marshals were initially a bit perplexed it wasn't an orange car are believed to be wide of the mark.' :lol: :lol:

I would love to hear Hamiltons thoughts.
I imagine he looked at Kimi's time and thought 'I can crack that'. His team however are probably talking him out of it.

On his fastest lap he was about 5kph down on Grosjean in speed trap in S2, slower than Stroll in trap in S3.
