Contrary to Thursday's windy and wet conditions, Friday proved to be wonderful for testing, with ideal conditions greeting the teams as they headed into the final day of running before heading to Melbourne.

According to the Highlights video, the best S3 time was 26.477jumpingfish wrote: ↑27 Feb 2020, 14:18Day2 pm, Raikkonen S3 - 25.133. It looks more chicane than Vettel's 26.0
update. Oh u meant the day with Raikkonen, yeah I agree that 25.133 couldn't be his legal timeNathanOlder wrote: ↑27 Feb 2020, 14:22According to the Highlights video, the best S3 time was 26.477jumpingfish wrote: ↑27 Feb 2020, 14:18Day2 pm, Raikkonen S3 - 25.133.

I agree...Vettel was pushing!Sevach wrote: ↑27 Feb 2020, 14:49Vettel wasn't using max power, the RP is 3 tenths plus faster in S1, S1 wasn't exactly Mercedes hunting ground last year so being that much slower is pretty atrocious.
The S3 time is the one that poses a more interesting question... Vettel was obviously trying hard, i could see that, so... is the car on half a tank? If it wasn't this is gonna be a loooong season for Ferrari.

As you seem to have misunderstood and then reacted to my comment indirectly here: "I don't know how long you've been following F1" was because you either didn't watch last year's pole or you just ignore it. If last year's qualifying lap for Ferrari was a 16.2 on C3s, I don't understand how you can think that they were pushing at all on the C5s when Vettel did 16.8 today.AMG.Tzan wrote: ↑27 Feb 2020, 15:14I agree...Vettel was pushing!Sevach wrote: ↑27 Feb 2020, 14:49Vettel wasn't using max power, the RP is 3 tenths plus faster in S1, S1 wasn't exactly Mercedes hunting ground last year so being that much slower is pretty atrocious.

I was saying the same thing over at the SF1000 thread and the answer i got was "I don't know how long you've been following F1"!
I even got a post disapproved as i was getting worked up it seems!
Saying your opinion is too much for some Ferrari fans it seems...
Anyway:
Right now Ferrari doesn't seem fast enough to challenge Mercedes or Red Bull! Maybe by Melbourne they will...but who knows! The thing is that everyone from the Top 3 is hiding performance...but if we take into account the winter development a Quali Lap around here should be around 1.14.x i believe...since last year's Pole was 1.15.4
So if we assume that Ferrari can really do let's say a 1.14.8 in Quali...how much fuel are they running right now to be 2secs slower?? And how much time is the Engine Quali mode worth compared to a low power mode??
Both streams are working again.Xwang wrote: ↑27 Feb 2020, 15:15I there anything working in the afternoon?Wouter wrote: ↑27 Feb 2020, 10:19https://strims.gg/somuchforsubtlety

About bricks. Before the engine failure, Vettel did 329 km/h without the spoon wingFab55 wrote: ↑27 Feb 2020, 14:38Today's tests confirm what has already been observed on page 20. The SF 1000 suffers very useless drag. The vents on the sidepods reject the inflow as the packaging of radiant bodies and exchangers placed inside the sidepods is too dense and not sufficiently permeable. Alfa Romeo's ears avoid this problem as the flow part from the airscope slides under the skin to the back, skipping the first stumbling block given by the main radiators. Top speed SF 1000 307KM/H while the Alfa Romeo over 320 KM/H and Ferrari had to reduce the rear wing lift with the spoon wing.
