2019 Barcelona testing(Circuit de Catalunya)

[tifosi1993]

Leclercs first stint (so far): 1:22.7 - 1:22.6 - 1:22.5 - 1:23.0 - 1:23.1 - 1:23.2 - 1:23.3 - 1:23.3 - 1:23.4 - 1:23.6 - 1:23.4 - 1:23.6 - 1:23.7 - 1:23.4 - 1:23.5 - 1:23.7 - 1:23.7 - 1:25.7 (Gasly overtook him)

And Gasly started his stint on 1m23.7 and was lapping around 1m24-1m25's. Charle's would've been 19-21 sec ahead of Gasly if it was an actual race.

ferrari looking good again

[chinmay]

Very strong laptimes by Bottas. Leclerc not close on same tyres, work to do. Leclerc in 1.23s whereas Bottas hardly touched 1.23 during his long stint on C2, lots of work to do.

[ClaudiuCojo]

Those are the times thus far according to AMuS

1st stint
Leclerc (C2) 1:22.7 - 1:22.6 - 1:22.5 - 1:23.0 - 1:23.1 - 1:23.2 - 1:23.3 - 1:23.3 - 1:23.4 - 1:23.6 - 1:23.4 - 1:23.6 - 1:23.7 - 1:23.4 - 1:23.5 - 1:23.7 - 1:23.7 - 1:25.7 (overtaken by Gasly)
Gasly (C3) 1:23.4 - 1:23.7 - 1:23.6 - 1:24.0 - 1:25.5 (traffic) - 1:24.0 - 1:23.8 - 1:24.1 - 1:24.4 - 1:24.8 - 1:25.0 - 1:25.1 - 1:25.4

Leclerc started with (on C2) 1:21.1 - 1:21.5 - 1:21.7 - 1:21.7 - 1:21.6, he dropped at some point into high 1:22s because of a Williams, now on low 1:22s

3rd stint
Bottas (C2) 1:21.1, 1:21.1, 1:21.2, 1:21.1, 1:21.1, 1:21.3

Looking very good for our team! We seem to be much faster than the Merc but of course there are still many things which we don't know.

Rear end completely destroyed. I guess gearbox is also heavily damaged.

yeah I sure hope they can fix the car so my fellow countryman can put some laps in tomorrow

[zike]

Are we eating the tires?

Based on long run pace comparison to Mercedes.... no?

Looks like they may have both been driving to a specified time.

[tifosi1993]

Race sim ended. Its unreliable to predict who's fast or not looking at the fastest times, but long run pace often puts a clear picture. And looking at Charles's lap times, I'd say we are pretty strong.

Agree, last stint was my only concern. Bottas was in the 20’s, 21’s where Leclerc was in the 21’s and ended in the 22’s

Looks like he was told to back off, more than the pace just fading away!

[mwk360]

Haas has confirmed that an exhaust issue is preventing it from running so far this afternoon.

these guys are not going to be as strong as last year, everyday more issues no very quick times till now

[mwk360]

Flash analysis: Leclerc started all his race stints faster than Bottas. The Ferrari driver took the tires so ran harder. Bottas, however, dosed his pace to prevent graining. At the back, the two approached, which suggests that the Mercedes tactics opened.

so harder on tyres from ferrari, mercs learned to be more gentle than they were first week and are able to go longer at the same pace

[mardyrt]

They (Mercedes - I think Bottas) were running C1

Or maybe Ferrari wanted to test fuel-saving procedure/scenario and told Charles to back off...you know testing stuff, the main purpose of pre-season testing.

lol looks like c2's but wouldnt put it past sneaky deceiving mercs to put on even harder tyres and pretend they are slower or struggling
