Mercedes suffered a massively disappointing Sunday at Spielberg, Austria after practice and qualifying had been so promising for the Mercedes AMG F1 team. But two car failures along with a big strategical error made it a day to forget for the world champions.
So you never pushed you limit, just like F1 drivers these daysTriumph1188 wrote: ↑28 Jun 2018, 16:50$.01 from each paragraphgg_ss wrote: ↑28 Jun 2018, 16:45Just curious, did those $.02 cents came from the first paragraph or you extracted that from final paragraphTriumph1188 wrote: ↑28 Jun 2018, 14:27
I am not sure I am always on board with taking the best sector times for a given driver and then saying that is the fastest lap that person could have done if they strung it all together. I think many times there is give and take within the course of a qualy lap. If someone pushes too hard early in the lap they are more likely to sacrifice time towards the end because the tires are worked harder early on. Saving the tires at the beginning could yield a better middle and/or final sector. I am sure the teams and drivers talk about the best way to maximize performance over a single lap regarding tire management.
Could Lewis have found another .3s, maybe. Maybe his lap was the maximum that could be achieved as well. Maybe there was even more to be found...assuming that combining all the personal best sectors is the theoretical best lap isn't quite as simple as is sometimes taken for granted. Just my $.02.

Everyone is on ultras. I noticed RB tyres looked bad during long run on VER car
Yea, the Ultras aren't looking like a good race tire at the moment. They are just getting chewed up and spit out by the track.
Actually the Ultras looked like good tyres. Vettel started on 12 laps old Ultras and was constantly doing mid 08s. On his 11. lap he still did a 08.6.
One that meets the letter of the rules, perhaps, rather than obviously being nothing other than an aero part.
Ferrari's definitely was not structural, it only had one mounting point to the halo, but two arms. Mercedes has 3 arms and 3 different mounting points.
