Woah, that's some huge pressure on side pod deflectors, Haas looses them again. And again on left hand side.

Slipstream could be decisive, when Ricciardo was following Max he gained 3 tenths in the final sector.

That from following maybe 1.5s behind, if a team decides to sacrifice one of their guys...

A solid amount of over steer for Mercedes. Too little rear wing?

Yes, but they are much quicker im S3. Ferrari running more wing.

Also nice demonstration on that teams got their tire allocations wrong.
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

Speaking of Q3, i wonder how many warm up laps Mercedes will need...

I was thinking of Haas and Sauber vs FI and Williams. Ferrari is running more wing since the start of the session, but it seems Merc has trimmed it even more now.

After all shitting on ferrari for using kimi last week, sky has no problems with suggesting that merc should ruin bottas qualy and try and boost hamilton.

Good objective journalism.

I wonder: Mercedes is running less wing to have an advantage on the straight. But at the same time, they are struggling to get the ultras into the right temperature window. Shouldnt they add downforce (like Ferrari) to put more energy into their tires? Of course this would compromize their straight line speed.

Unless they are already setting themselves up for the race and the hope to be able to pass cars more easily...

Ambition over adhesion for kimi. Positive is: it shows the hunger.
