Which again shows that all the talk about merc and red bull being ahead of Ferrari is bs. Of course it could be true but it's pure speculation
To be honest I'm not really looking at this thread too often, so I've missed that. Before Q2 in Australia, we won't now for sure where they are.

And they call it a stall. A STALL!

K-Mag with that time on a cold track tells us neither one of Top3 teams have shown their cards at all.

Any speculation could be true, but it's just pure speculation.

Mercedes seems to think RB are there close to them, but Ferrari is a tad behind.
Honda!

I think we could be in for a very competetive season.

Great cars!

Very scared about than soon due the future car concept reveal by Liberty /Brawn...

That future FE car is one fat and ugly mother*cker.
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

Bottas just did a 1:19.900. Does anyone know how far in to his stint he was? I don't recall seeing him pitting lately..
First stint: Outlap - 27 laps - Inlap

Second stint: Outlap - 16 laps - Inlap

He did 1:19.9 quite in the beginning of his last stint.
