Decent speed there. That 17.7 came after a cooldown lap following the 17.9. Race sim pace was decent too. It's not nearly as bad as people think (want).

[Ground Effect]

1.17.7 now

I'll take that, if not for anything, it's encouraging.

But if it was a qualification run and the 17.9 was his lap after outlap and so on it's not that quick forgive me if wrong but didn't Kimi do a 16 well into a run on the hype

Kimi's fastest time is 1.17.2 which is the fastest of today.

No, the fastest lap on Hypersofts so far was 1:17.182 by Vettel, Yesterday.

So .65 down on the fastest time, is not too bad. But who knows what fuel loads and other variables were, however the track is cooler right now than when todays or yesterdays fastest times were set so some time there.

Don't know if it was his first flying lap after an outlap, would need to confirm. The track is also a lot colder than when Kimi set his time, so it's hard to compare it directly to it.

Ok, i feel way better now.. 1.16.7xx

[marmer]

Don't know where I got that time from sorry Kimi 07 would have done a 1:16:0 on full fuel must have been dreaming of the good days

[Ground Effect]

I think after 3 years with Honda and now with Renault I have no doubts to say that "size-zero" concept means F A I L.

I disagree, it's an ambitious concept, could be wrong for this era, because at the end of the day, it's makes sense aerodynamically. Maybe one day PU concepts will catch up, could be sooner than later. It's not a straight forward concept, it's something that success can only come after a lot of pain.

1.16.7 for Alonso now

[marmer]

Must have cut something off or really running on fumes

[McG]

Spoke too soon he cut the chicane.

[Xero]

The 16.7 had a chicane cut, and deleted. I almost choked on my Maltesers when I read that!
