I don't think there is any hiding going on this reminds me a lot of the Monaco weekend, Ferrari to lockout the front row again and those who said its a Ferrari track congrats.

Too Soon, merc will up the power even more then Ferrari can.

RBR is way of the pace (or so it seems) let's wait for the actual q sessions but a 3 way fight seems far off.

[Mattchu]

Mercedes going to try and get to Q3 on the soft tyre, then go long on the fist stint...

Very good pace by Ferrari and fair play to McLaren Honda.

[Restomaniac]

If they're introducing a new element though it's because they can't salvage the old ones, so it becomes a circular argument. Additionally there's always a penalty with each new element. I was pretty sure when reading the updated rules last year that they specifically mentioned any new elements would need to be used as the current race element, and that multiple new elements would be allowed only for practice sessions. Perhaps as you say it doesn't include the original four.

Indeed.
This may well hamstring Vettel. Mercedes can upgrade their TC if they can without attracting penalties. Ferrari now cannot, at least not on Vettel's car.

And updating your turbo consists of what exactly? After teams get their turbo size right for their application there is little to upgrade unless its for reliability reasons....
Everything it seems has to be overblown into some advantage for the team you root for......if Vettel doesnt damage any of his 3 turbos going forward he should be fine...

A none Vettel fan makes the valid point that if Ferrari make upgrades on their turbo Vettel will either have to use the old spec or take penalties.
A Vettel fan's answer is 'well they never upgrade a turbo mid season'. Even though teams often do.

Thus ends this conversation.

Shame about Ricciardo.

What happened?

Wow, any reason given?

[Sevach]

Shame about Ricciardo.

What happened?

Ricciardo's car died early in the session, i don't know if there's a penalty coming, but he lost FP3 in it's entirety.

Oh and Massa is feeling ill since yesterday.

That explains the 7 laps completed in P3.

Ah shame for Massa, be interesting to see what Paul can achieve.

Thanks for the info.

True. Merc did not use Q-mode in Hungary at all in the last years (same pace as in FP). But Renault lost quite a lot (RB claimed 1 sec) on the straight...so I expect Merc to extract the usual few tenth also here once they go into Q.
So I expect a close battle between Merc and Ferrari and Bulls nowhere.

Di Resta vs Stroll may be the battle of the weekend.

[tomazy]

Di Resta is pink, stil at FI it seems on live timing xD
