So Ferrari only faster than Haas by 7 tenths ? thats not enough, If Ferrari have shown their hand, they have a weak hand.

I think the fact that Haas is capable of an 18.3 on SS only demonstrates one thing: none of the top 3 are close to their maximum potential. No offence to Haas, but they’re not within 6 tenths of the top 3, especially not on harder tyres.

All of Gary Anderson’s ramblings about “corrected” lap times are absolute rubbish. They just play into people’s paranois and feed the Merc hype machine. He’s probably on their payroll

If this is the case, then it would be on the floor, so it would not create downforce, but only be an aero improvement by reducing drag...but why not, it would fit their concept.

This is what they are most likely talking about.

Gary gets paid for that rubbish, so he'll keep feeding the gullible as long as the cash flows...

Wonder if he's still backing off over the line (and if not, why do it once and not other times?)

"If Ferrari have shown their hand, they have a weak hand." by that measure you could say the same about RB and Mercedes
