And that's a wrap! Testing is officially over.

And it still feels like we have no idea what the pecking order actually is.

Alonso did a 1.21 3 on US and lost 3 seconds in the last corner because of Stroll.

As an Alonso supporter I cant believe that. That lap time better than kimi's time.

And then you woke up.

So at the end of testing Merc engines did a total of 1000 laps more than Ferrari (two teams), Renault with three teams just 200 laps more than Ferrari - Honda did 1/4 of the Ferrari total with one team (or just 6.5 race distances in 8 days)

team - laps - km


two lines for Ferrari engine, lower one including the Sauber laps (edit: it is the sauber laps, just a mistake here)

[ripper]

STR has Renault engine, you should put sauber in second row, as they are using 2016 FER engine

Funny how it always happens to Kimi though...

That too at slow speed. https://twitter.com/ScottAutosport/stat ... 3721011202

In order to reply to myself, here are the stint times reported by A-M-u-S ticker on Raikkoennen:

Stint 1 (SS)
1:24.5 - 1:24.7 - 1:25.0 - 1:26.9 - 1:25.4 - 1:25.5 - 1:25.6 - 1:25.5 - 1:25.5 - 1:25.9 - 1:26.0 - 1:26.1 - 1:25.7 - 1:25.9 - 1:26.6

Stint 2 (S)
1:25.9 - 1:24.1 - 1:24.8 - 1:24.7 - 1:24.7 - 1:24.6 - 1:25.0 - 1:24.7 - 1:24.7 - 1:24.1 - 1:25.0 - 1:24.8 - 1:24.7 - 1:24.5 - 1:24.3 - 1:24.1

Stind 3 (M)
-- unknown - terminated by self caused Red flagged.

To compare it with Redbull
Verstappen Soft stint - 1:24.7, 1:24.9, 1:25.6, 1:25.2, 1:25.4, 1:25.5, 1:25.4, 1:25.9, 1:25.6 and 1:25.7.

Kimi did a couple of laps on Medium before the rear lockup.
Raikkonen Medium Stint - 1:24.0, 1:24.5, 1:23.6, 1:24.1, 1:24.0, 1:24.0, 1:24.1, 1:23.7, 1:23.9 and 1:23.8.

Kimi's Medium spin wasn't self caused, according to Motorsport it was a electrical issue. Probably MGU-K.

Any idea if Verstappen was on a race sim in his last stint? With those time's, VER should be at his first stint. Right?

[Sevach]

I wonder how old was Kimi's PU... How many race weekends has it covered?

[i70q7m7ghw]

Ferrari a second clear on the same compound? That's certainly ominous...

[dren]

Oh god, no. Not the return of 'ominous'.

[dans79]

Kimi's run looks like a proper Q3 simulation to me.
