Good morning everyone.
As I am allready at the Sunny race track, I thought I should start this thread
Today weather forecast is Sun with 32 C max. Hopefully this will help after yesterday dissapointment.
Let' race

Let' race
Easy 1-2 for ferrari, kimi will be 5-10sec leading by lap 5 at the most, he is insanely fast lately. who knows maybe thunderstorms will appear to ruin sebs race again so maybe not Ferrari 1-2 but kimi should win this easily by yesterday's showing if he doesn't i will really be disappointed with him, today he breaks the none win streak
hockenheim 2018 / China 2018 : Never forget how quick Ferrari can lose it all, be humble.
Positivity doesn't win you championships, whining about people being negative makes you blind!
lol ignore the bitter old cows ;-)
Yes game on today.
Don't get your hopes too high, a Ferrari win today will be the biggest miracle of 2018 season.
Which tyre will be used at start? Those of Q2? Thanks

32C air/50C track temp at the F2 race
With this temperature, starting on the yellow softs would be great insurance against rapid premature wear, even if it means not winning the start. I'm thinking the violet ultra softs will be in by laps 8/12, whereas the softs may be 20 or more laps? But like Austria, I'm thinking it'll be a 3 stop race through no choice but survival!
Merc will prob start with Lewis on US and Bottas on Soft and as Lewis said yesterday make sure they block Ferrari off at the start.....then use Bottas to let the golden boy run off a gap.
Forza Ferrari
Vet - 2 new sets of US, 2new sets of Softs , 1 new set of Mediums
Kimi - 1 new set of US, 2 new sets of softs, 1 new set of mediums
Ham & bottas - same as kimi.
with low fuel US would be useful under these temp. Ferrari can be aggressive with vettel.
On high fuel US lasts only 8-10 laps under these temp. Particularly mercs they would find it little difficult, this should give ferrari chance.
I'm thinking they could push the yellow softs harder for longer, which could allow the Ferraris to undercut early pitting Mercs, especially if the Mercs find themselves behind the following packs.
Lot of permutations & combinations rolling in my mind
Ultimately is ferrari’s Or drivers call. Yest ferrari did take good call in q2 for vet.
Hope they will pull out similar kind of thing.
1. First we have to make through the start.
2. If number one is done, I would stay as long as possible out with Vettel on the soft rubber, even after Mercedes pitted. I would pit Kimi first to put the pressure on Mercedes with an undercut, but one VSC can change all the things.
3. Track position is key here, its gonna be crucial to get ahead of a least one mercedes. If in a perfect world Kimi,Seb jump Bottas at the start, Hamilton will be put under pressure.
4. Reliability will be again the major factor.
5. Bring it home.
I won't rule out RBR completely as unexpected things happen.
Also notice how they have won every third race this season (3,6,9).
All well and good to suggest these strategies and not wishing to be a kill-joy, but they can all go out of the window if there's a SC and the most important thing is for both cars to finish, preferably in front of the Mercs, of course. We definitely can't afford to take too many chances as a DNF would be another disaster and the summer break will be even harder to stomach. Go for it, Seb and Kimi, but first you have to finish.
no problem
