Wow, that doesn't look good at all. If GT3 cars can already inflict such damage to the tarmac, what happens when F1 cars run on it?

This layout looks completely different to MotoGP´s Paul Ricard...
I´m surely missing something, what?

Smart move utilizing the extra day they have to continue dyno running before making the final call.
I don't know. It's a toss-up . . . but Hamilton seemed pretty positive/upbeat in his press conference. You can usually tell when he thinks the team is going to struggle.
It's Vettel's title to lose. Hamilton is seriously on the back foot.
Good. Exactly what I want. Adversity.santos wrote: ↑21 Jun 2018, 13:1728 years without a F1 race, and still the management of circuit will receive this race with a track in poor conditions. It is being reported that the track has been ripped up. So there will be plenty of different asphalt patches. I think this will not please any driver and won't be good for tyres. I really like the layout of the circuit, but i hoped it was in perfect conditions.
And when exactly in this season did Mercedes demonstrate that they have the most efficient aero? Tire management is the name of the game for 2018 and is the deciding factor between Mercedes and Ferrari.....this is no longer 2014_2016 where the race winner was a foregone conclusion.

Last year Hamilton was down 14 points after the Hungarian Grand Prix, just before the summer break.
Way, way, way too early to make a statement like that, IMHO.
that can buy private jets and stuff, it's over indeed. I can't imagine statements like that are serious.
