Di Resta to race for Williams.
Massa out. Big chance for Paul
Too Soon, merc will up the power even more then Ferrari can.
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.giantfan10 wrote: ↑29 Jul 2017, 00:43And 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....Restomaniac wrote: ↑27 Jul 2017, 21:27Indeed.TAG wrote: ↑27 Jul 2017, 18:34
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.
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.
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...

That explains the 7 laps completed in P3.

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.
