Ferrari improved by 3 tenths from their last year's time.
Red Bull lost 3 tenths.
Mercedes gained a massive 1.4 seconds. That's extremely unusual laptime to gain in a year, even more so on a track like Hungary.
Gp2 engine, Gp2 engine ahhhhhhh.
Embarassing very Embarassing.
Toto regarding mercedes powered cars oil burning:
One aspect of the Mercedes power unit this season is the occasional wisps of white smoke that have been seen not only in the W11, but also in the cars of customers*Racing Point*and*Williams.
Wolff has suggested a likely cause which will be investigated further between now and the next race, the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
"You can see that when the oil tank is filled up at the beginning, we seem to have an issue that oil gets out of the chassis,” remarked Wolff.
“We don’t know where that comes from. It seems to be that when we fill it up to the top we aren't in control of how much escapes at the beginning.
“We have seen it on all the Mercedes engines and it’s something that we need to understand. It’s not a reliability issue, which I’m glad that it isn’t. At Silverstone, I can tell you what it is because at the moment we don't know."
Red is the only color!!!
So Ham is going to win his 7th title with an illegal car, nice.
Its become a real anecdote!!!!
Barbies that has the most copied car in the history of sport say that the design it themselves from a bunch of photos!!!!!! And FIA simply believes them and no further action!!!!
All Merc powered cars smoking like hell all over the place ,in the corners, in acceleration, everywhere and they say that they just feeling up the tank!!!!!! AND FIA accepts it!!!!!
All Merc powered cars improved 1 to 3+ secs from last year ,under the same rules with just evolved cars (except Barbies) and they say it's just development, while last year the where screaming that you CANT gain so much performance from one year to the other with no rule changes (for our pu) !!!!!!!!!!!
FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!
Yesterday qualifiers show how superior is Mercedes with respect to the grid, a difference of 1 sec in qualifiers shows they have an incredible pace.
All of this does make me curious how they are so fast, Ferrari got a straight-line speed in 2019 and the whole grid was on us saying Ferrari is cheating and when Mercedes is so fast no one even trying for any investigations? how is their PU simply giving this much power?
Forza Ferrari Forever
They were able to find ours because mid straight we got a second kick.
Every decision taken in the last few years has benefitted Mercedes and Mercedes only. Remember when Hamilton was crying about not being able to follow closely, it was the same for everyone by the way, it had nothing to do with "close racing" it was being pushed by Mercedes and the likelihood is they've been working on other developments behind the scenes getting a headstart on everyone then politicking in the paddock pushing for these changes. They've got complete monopoly over the direction F1 is heading. It took years for other manufacturers to get up to speed with hybrid development...what happens when they finally do...engine development gets frozen...what a coincidence! I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist but it's all too convenient for it to be just a coincidence. Then we have the whole DAS thing, they were working on it a year prior, who works on something when they aren't even sure if it's legal...oh but F1 said fair enough you can have it for this season since you worked so hard on it...why have something only for one season if it's legal? Because next season every other team will have one and Mercedes don't want that.
It all stinks.
2017 engine was the king of dogs and yet Ferrari was on pole by 3 tenths from Mercedes. Mercedes advantage yesterday is demoralizing for others but also a good thing as they know they can gain most of the time with great aero. Let's see how many tenths the Silverstone upgrade gives.
Stroll did a 1.14.3 with last year mercedes and LH is for sure faster. So with last years mercedes he will get a 1.14.0
Pole 2019 was 1.14.5, so last years mercedes is now half second faster.
A copied version of last years Mercedes W10 increased a team speed by over 3sec when compared to their last years car on the same track.
.
IMO, Mercedes is NOT deploying its full potential because it doesn'nt need to durying qualifying. They have no competition currently in 2020.
It's not how start but how you finish.
The performance gap of the Mercedes is suspicious.
They are also the only ones who seem to have those puffs of engine smoke.
When will they get investigated as well?
