Seb hasn't won in over a year and Charles is chasing his first ever win after coming close twice this year, they wont be holding back, cant wait for the battle to commence and with Lewis in the mix makes it ever better.ringo wrote: ↑31 Aug 2019, 21:03What can Lewis do to Vettel from P-3 then?
I think Ferrari will give instructions that first through eau rouge keeps p1 until the threat from behind is managed.
They can easily crash out like Nico and Lewis did a few years ago. Right now they need a win more than anything else.
Ferrari not only has engine power, the car is a low-drag design, plus they're running lesser wing. Explains the big advantage on straights. Merc running higher wing, giving more cornering speed.F1NAC wrote: ↑31 Aug 2019, 17:40yup..

Can Ferrari orchestrate their two cars? I don't see it, with those two. Seb is a bit slower but he can make his tyres last better than Charles, so they might close up around the pitstop window and then yes as you say Lewis will be trying to overcut them, but getting both will be difficult. it could be a great race.drunkf1fan wrote: ↑31 Aug 2019, 21:53If the race pace from practice holds then imo the only real way Ferrari can win in a normal race without lucky pitstops from safety cars, etc, is if they end up 1-2 end of first lap and one of them can back off the pack, create a gap.
If they have a significant tire life issue they either have to go longer/slower to make the second stint work while Ham/Verstappen stop early, go faster, and come out ahead but without Ferrari being able to match them despite newer tires. More likely I feel is Ferrari stop first and Ham and Verstappen stay out longer, maybe significantly so and don't really worry about the Ferrari's eating into their pitstop window, but when they pit have a large enough tire/pace advantage together to be able to pass them on track.
If one of the Ferrari's can slow the others up while on the same tires and they can hold their own on the straights then maybe they open up some options.
