What are our chances guys, how are things looking? Can we even hope to battle with Merc? (fingers and toes crossed.. hoping!)
Another red flag. That'll be the morning session done then
Leclerc was on a stint with C2 / 11 laps old tyres
1:41.396
1:41.621
1:41.733
Conditions aren't representative, they are not going to race in this temperature. So I wouldn't read too much into it. But we do know one thing, the F1-75 definitively won the F1 beauty contest.
Oh they are going to do a standing start with ferrari/ amr / merc/ rb
Noo bottas blown it what a shame
Red flag !

anyone know the lap time differences between compounds for this year's tyres ?
"If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari" - Gilles Villeneuve
Is this Will Buxton? Someone on sky going crazy over Strolls time on a medium where Sainz goes 4 tenths quicker on a harder compound..
Edit: There goes Sainz one second quicker than stroll on the same compound *crickets*

That W13 is still porpoising badly down the straight and we're on day 2 at Bahrain.
It's not how start but how you finish.
Carlos P1 now, 1:33"943 on mediums (for memory : Max Verstappen posted a 1:28.960 during testing at Bahrain in 2021)
Sainz on Russells claim that Ferrari look the strongest: "Typical Mercedes, typical George, hype up the others and come to the first race and blow the competition away. If it was the first year, I might have believed them. Already on the GPS we can see what they are doing."
Merc has destroyed the competition for 8 years in a row. Is it wrong to assume they might still know what they are doing? Also, I had clarified my comment in another post; “best” was referring to past solutions. Yes, you are correct to say that when speaking of this year no one knows what best is yet. I think our car is beautiful and purposeful. Ferrari has put a lot of work into these new regulations and I am optimistic that we will have a good year.
~FORZA FERRARI~
Sainz is out on C4. Ferrari will do a race sim tonight.
08:47 Sainz, on C4 tyres, logs a 1m33.532s to extend his advantage at the top - setting the best sectors two and three of the day with a bit of assistance from Hamilton on the main straight
~FORZA FERRARI~
1:33.532 on C4. But the engine has been turned down heavily, no purple/PB minisectors on the straights.
Nothing new, sadly, also at the same time always say that others are better, but why?
I don’t like these manners
This was already the case in 2014 when they had cheated on the PU, with an advantage of 100 HP or even much more
Incomprehensible, arrogant and very unfriendly!
Charles Leclerc: "The Ferrari F1-75 behaves very similar to what came out of the simulator. The correlation is very good compared to the past."

FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!
whatever they say we for sure should not believe and expect them to be 1s slower. if we are on par we should be happy my opinion. do not forget we had a lot of ground to cover especially engine wise.
we cannot be from almost one second slower to a second faster in a timeframe of 3 months.
