I wonder why the Ferrari engine is such a smoker?

Can the ban on recycling of air really have effected them that much compared to others?
They are sponsored by Malboro, on a serious note, I wonder if following drivers will get oil on their visors.

So, Ham started first stint at 1:25.xxx. Started last stint at just under 1:23.xxx. This is what, 2-3 seconds slower than what Bottas did now?
Yes. But... The resurfaced track will account for a good chunk of that. So don't expect that the cars are 3s/lap faster everywhere.

Of course. :) Just trying to determine what we should expect from qualy sim times now, low 1:16 times should be, based on this race simulation difference.
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

I think other series have seen 1.5-2s improvement on this track already.

Hmm, STR just posted on Twitter that their best lap was 1:17,8, which was deleted. If it was just a minor track limit extension and not completely cut chicane then it’s quite a respectable time I think

No, they just issued a correction saying the time was removed. He fully cut the chicane. I don't think their SM person is talking to the rest of the team lol :lol: :lol: :lol:

08:38 The Force India makes a very strange whistling noise as it goes along - wonder if that's because of the nostril treatment at the front. It sounds a lot like a balloon going down!
