Dont know what to think about them
Some.things seems OK, some made me wonder if they will success to even beat Alfa

[Juzh]

So, Ferrari told they were checking the cooling system today morning and it took Leclerc 2,5 hours to be back on track again. Why would the checks take so long? Do you think Ferrari changed the engine, but didn't make it public?

quite possible

This sounds promising...

[Bill]

They is 5 seconds difference between full load fuel and empty, so trying to deduce pecking order based onlaptime its tricky unless you got all the gargets teams use then they is question of engine modes . I think is better to look at who Is consistently quick in in the twist bits sector 3 where aero is king

[PhillipM]

I don't think that gives you any answer either, as you have teams like Mclaren running low downforce setups, Merc and Ferrari seem to be running fairly high downforce and RB somewhere in the middle.

[Alexf1]

Does anyone know where I can find the end of main straight speed trap figures of today?

[the EDGE]

Is Ben Anderson for real...?

First he suggests Merc were in trouble last week, despite running the most Millage, then he thinks they produced the entire upgrade package in 4 days

Jeez, sounds like some of the noobs from here found a job producing videos.

[marmer]

I would have been supprised if they hadn't brought an upgrade. They haven't sounded super happy with the car from day one as normal they probably always have new bits to go onto the car just in previous years they haven't needed to change so quickly. I bet most years the car gets changed at Australian gp they have probably just seen a lack of pace slightly and thought to try and bring parts forward slightly sooner. They will not have been made in a weekend

It's amateur stuff at best. To suggest that any update could be done in days is beyond me, let alone something as big as this. I just don't know how they think the whole process works for them to think that. Tbh its scary how people with intelligence levels like this can get into such a job. They admit to hearing 1500 new parts and yet they believe they have all been designed, tested and made in 4 days......375 parts a day is something else

[FittingMechanics]

I hope that they don't think that, but that they are talking like that to produce content.

If they are tittle contenders, then, our beloved Gary Anderson is gonna claim he was right

With race engine mode the difference is roughly 3.5 seconds between full and empty tank. Throw in full beans engine mode, full battery, and running on fumes then the gap increases as much as 6 seconds. Fastest race lap was almost 3 seconds slower than pole. Same power units therefore same gaps, albeit with 5kg of extra fuel if needed.

Don't know that 'noob' is lack of qualification, I've been here a while now and am still as thick as a plank
