1.17.2 for Kimi. So I think vet can do high 1.16’s.
Ham race sim on 2nd stint.. looks more consistent & remarkable.
Ham 1st stint was already in 21s. They do look COMFORTABLY better then us and RB. To say that does not mean I will be cheering for them, it just means they arenincredibly good.
Ham into 1.19’s on Medium tyre race stint.
Amus reporting, Ferrari having fuel save problems.
Yeah I’m doubting their credibility. Because no where RB (max, ric) outperformed Ferrari in this testing. I mean laptimes & race sim to looks strong for Ferrari compared to RB. But still amus, Toto, Nikki predicting or declaring RB is the title contender.
Even RB is around 0.3-0.5 slower than mercs on race sim.

Not a good day for Sauber Charles Leclerc. Not many laps.
Ham almost 100L before lunch. . Even though there’s no lunch break.

Smoke and mirrors imho, and I also get the feeling they write their stuff in advance(at least the outlines) and report that as gospel afterwards. For example Sky was running the Nikki and Marko quotes even though they were made before Seb put in his hot laps...
Also Nikki is a player, remember him doing a Red pullover stunt back in 2016 because Ferrari was soo fast and their main threat, and we all know how 2016 panned out.

@tgruener
Ferrari had lots of fuel problems last few races last year, kimi and seb had to save fuel (e.g. seb in Malaysia and kimi and seb in USA/Abu Dhabi) so they couldnt push till the end, seems they haven't gotten a solution to that yet.GPS data shows Ferrari had to save significantly more fuel than Mercedes during Barcelona race simulations
Ferrari probably put as much fuel into the car to run the race sim as quickly as possible - like Mercedes. Anything else wouldn't make any sense. With running more than 60 laps, there's not a lot of variability in terms of fuel load.

Where is Kimi has he not finished having ice cream
Delta between tyres ?? Any idea anyone???
Haas did 1.18.4 on 5L stint US tyres.
If we take roughly this as quali lap into consideration, Ferrari - haas performance difference assuming .5-1sec at max on each tyre. Then Ferrari can do mid 1.17 on US.
Coming to US-HS delta, expecting atleast .5sec. So lap time would be high 1.16’s.
Yest Vettel did lift at the main straight. So there is some pace of around .2-.3sec where he can get into high 1.16’s.
This could be the quali lap.
Few thoughts, FWIW..
We look reliable and quick. So do Red Bull. Toro Rosso looking OK with 'new and improved' Honda lump. Haas showing (surprisingly) well. Williams, Force India, Renault all a bit unclear, (meh!). Sauber not doing a lot and McLaren, OUCH! As ever, sure the Mercs will be ahead of the rest. Hope by not too much!
Roll on Australia!

Trying to be less angry..
Ham done 97 laps n left. Bottas got in and already done 15L.
