Interesting, Verstappen was on track for P1 using the C4s but ran the exit curb on the last corner and bottled the lap. He used 8 on the straight too.
Hiding their true lap time perhaps everyone else has fast time but those times are on the C5 So if youre cutting the C5 time on a C4 tire you might want to keep that to yourselves...
No. Unfortunatly! He was realy pushing. But He did in lap, start and two more laps. Than pited.
If flying were the language of man, soaring would be its poetry.
It's all about technology!
When you go fast, do not hesitate to go faster!

No one ran their engines until dry this year. I'm pretty certain Ferrari said they where doing major design changes, surely they at least would want to know fuel consumption.

Kimi got the Alfa to run out of fuel last week on Friday if I’m not wrong... So they do have an idea on when they are completely out.

RB and AT both ran dry on one of the days - they were beached only a few corners apart.

Whaaat?


The FIA announces that, after thorough technical investigations, it has concluded its analysis of the operation of the Scuderia Ferrari Formula 1 Power Unit and reached a settlement with the team," said the statement.

"The specifics of the agreement will remain between the parties."

It added: "The FIA and Scuderia Ferrari have agreed to a number of technical commitments that will improve the monitoring of all Formula 1 Power Units for forthcoming championship seasons as well as assist the FIA in other regulatory duties in Formula 1 and in its research activities on carbon emissions and sustainable fuels."

The wording of the FIA statement is especially intriguing, as the governing body does not state that it found the power unit to have fully complied with the regulations.

Furthermore, the fact that there is some kind of private settlement, plus agreement to help monitoring of power units going forward, suggests that there may have been a trade off in terms of not taking the issue further.
