I want Ferrari regularly locking out the front row during races to spice the season.

Lol. Not a whole lot different for that chump. Daddy Laurence has been paying people to wipe Lance's ass since birth.

Not when they are locking up like that

In their fastest laps the telemetry data from Alonso's car showed him carrying more speed and braking slightly later than Max's car, so we'll see how this pans out in FP3 shortly before quali.

I cannot wait for the new season to start. As a RB fan I sure hope the lack of wind tunnel development time does not impact their ability to be competitive!

Go Max , Go Cheko, Go Ricciardo !

In any case I’m excited F1 is back !


My niece is at U Miami and just scored a 3 day unpaid “internship” for the F1 race seating people. She also applied for social media marking and candid roaming photographer but got searing usher Lol. 6 interviews to get a volunteer job. She not a huge race fan but in for the experience. She a digital marketing /communications major and graduating this May so she’s looking for work and is hoping to make contacts anywhere.

Well that's interesting, both RB's are running on hards while nearly all the others are on softs, so RB could be saving the softs for later as Max goes fifth half second from Alonso who is on softs.

Who knows what to make of the behind the scenes strategy brain trust at any of these teams.

It’s like picking stocks. Some better than others but nobody can be right all the time. It’s about being right more than the next guy to get the maximum points
and podiums.

Saving softs for later.

Looks like Max has a battle on his hands but with the gap to Alonso at almost nothing yesterday and today it's going to be a good 'eyes on' quali.

Just testing compounds in temps for future races.

That's a bit harsh. Lance has grabbed some impressive finishes in his career regardless of what you have to say.

At quali it'll be cooler but with more wind so running may be even quicker.

Yep. Good opportunity for data collection in case they need to switch to plan G! (Ferrari joke)

Ahh so now I know

[M5Rick]

Oh my..LEW was sent out too late and had to be stopped in the pit lane then pushed back by his mechanics.

Ferrari were adamant everything on their car is legal with multiple FIA inquiries and checks.

At this point in time, you'd have to be of questionable intelligence to try to get something past the litany of photographers, spies from teams, and the FIA. It just isn't really possible to hide things anymore with all the data collection and analyses from outsiders.

Redbull designed by one of the greatest engineers of all time shows the way.

Ferrari goes with fashion over function

MB foolishly sticks with No Pod
