Hamilton emerged on pole position after an intense final battle for the top spot. He marginally pipped Vettel by 0.051. Bottas who throughout qualifying looked to be a contender for the pole, had to settle for third, in front of Raikkonen.
They are saving some mileage by not running it on friday.F1NAC wrote: ↑12 May 2017, 12:07that doesn't make sense. why would they run new ICE on FP3?Sevach wrote: ↑12 May 2017, 11:03https://twitter.com/AlbertFabrega/statu ... 7634197504
Pretty much everything new for Mercedes in terms of power units.
Ferrari rumored to bring a new ICE tommorow.

Kimi did 1.18 in testing on SS. Even if they are running hard tyres, both Ferrari and Merc don't seem to be showing their real pace.Restomaniac wrote:Mercedes a second up so far.
Kimi on his last lap was only 2/10th off but he was pushing so hard that he ended up leaving the track.
Am I the only one who finds that a major concern?
True but it was his choice to walk out of a red car and into this disaster. Yes it wasn't expected but his decision has bitten him in the bum.Vasconia wrote: ↑12 May 2017, 11:53No one on this planed could have expected such a disaster.Restomaniac wrote: ↑12 May 2017, 11:51Oh I don't blame him at all. However one could say that he has walked into this problem after he 'managed' his exit from Ferrari.
That's fine but if both aren't showing their real pace and Mercedes are still a second faster then I at least am worried.gdanielwesley wrote: ↑12 May 2017, 13:25Kimi did 1.18 in testing on SS.

True but Mercedes has a lot of new part to test. Maybe they are running a little bit faster than usual.Restomaniac wrote: ↑12 May 2017, 14:06That's fine but if both aren't showing their real pace and Mercedes are still a second faster then I at least am worried.gdanielwesley wrote: ↑12 May 2017, 13:25Kimi did 1.18 in testing on SS.

He's making a point isn't he, its a silent message to Honda, McLaren and the worlddans79 wrote: ↑12 May 2017, 11:44Can you blame him? If a nat farts to close to the car, it breaks down.Restomaniac wrote: ↑12 May 2017, 11:38A driver leaving the track and playing tennis during a session isn't normal at all. It looks like Alonso just doesn't give a stuff anymore.
