Ferrari, please.
Rivals, not enemies. (Now paraphrased from A. Newey).

And that's a wrap on the tests.

Final day lap times:

Hamilton - 1:16.759 :(

Leclerc - 1:14.971 8)

Of course these times don't mean anything - different tires etc. would I be saying this if ham was ahead :lol:

Hopefully both drivers have found use in the track time and dusted off the winter cobwebs. This is the calm before the storm now - in a few weeks it's all gonna start kicking off in a good way :mrgreen:
Those lap times don’t mean much. Just take a look at the rear wing Leclerc had compared to Lewis - he was running a high downforce setup, which changes everything about the car's performance.

Of course I struggle. I just don’t quit.

That's a completely different car mate.

SF-24 was used for the Pirelli test, which is where the lap times are from, both driver set those times in the SF-24, with the low downforce setup. The car in the image is the SF-23, which was used for the TPC test, completely unrelated to the lap times.

Didn't think I had to mention it on a “technical” forum, but please stop looking at lap times from a tyre test, where Pirelli select the compounds and run plans for the teams.

It’s not El_KaPpa’s fault…

I have no idea why Pirelli would release lap times from 2026 prototype tyre test in a Bastardised car running a sub-optimal setup with an engine that won’t even exist, at a track they will not race at, in the first place

Sorry guys, I jumped the gun thinking I was onto something fresh. Saw some Ferrari photos in my feed and thought they were new, but turns out they’re 6 days old from the TPC test. Still finding my way in the red gallery! #-o
