BOT C5 1.17.857
back to the drawing board

this is very similar to what hmilton did this morning. it has meaning if done with much much fuel

[The Engineer]

They will have very different cars next test with what they have leaned this week, that's why they're testing. They will go home, regroup and come back stronger, it's just an arms race now.

And you clearly know that the car was very light ?

AMuS liveticker said Bottas was on C3 when he did the 1:18.1

Have we seen Toto and Allison at the track today ? Didnt notice anyone mention it so far

Very little difference between tyres it seems.

HUL did 1.18.3 in C3 and now 1.18.2 in C4
This morning, RIC gained only two tenth between C4 and C5

source? I cant'find this

I managed to find it.
Well, on F1 TV they just showed a lap with LH, and the car looked okay. The balance is a bit off because the back end got out of control a little bit 2 times. But the change of direction is good.

Its is mentioned in autosport

19.09 he starts the lap with 18.3 on the second hardest compund C2--then at the end of 16th lap @19.46 he does 1.18.1

that was the overall 16th lap of the day for bottas. not a 16 lap stint. I think that the stint was 4

[Jambier]

I think we can apply that to every team but:

RIC:

We are running a very conservative engine mode this week. Next week we should run the engine with normal race mode

I imagine that for qualy mode we will have to wait Melbourne qualy

[motobaleno]

Bottas just did an 1:18.1 on his 16th lap of a stint on C2 tyres

that's it then, pack it up bois

so apparently we don't have to pack..

[Morteza]

If you combine the best sector times from today, the lap would be a 1m17.104s. It's very likely we'll be into the 1m16s at next week's test.

Best sectors in order:
Albon 21.839ss
Ricciardo 28.759s
Hulkenberg 26.506s

absolutely not.

More like Merc doesn't need to pack up like so many hinted at over the first 3 days of testing.

[Morteza]

Now Hulkenberg does a 1m17.393s on C5 tires
