Lewis Hamilton controlled the Spanish Grand Prix from start to finish, carving a comfortable gap to the competition early on in the race as a basis for victory. Valtteri Bottas finished second while Max Verstappen completes the podium for Red Bull Racing.
Do you mean the changes on Ferrari for this weekend? Because nothing else is written in that text.djones wrote: ↑10 May 2018, 18:00That article must have been written without even looking at the cars

The Ferrari has the biggest change I think I have ever seen mid-season.
That argument works in reverse as well. We could easily say Mercedes has been on the back foot the last three races because they haven't gotten their care dialed in, in all conditions yet.
Yeah, 'cause FI and Williams were horrible in Baku Q compared to Sauber and Haas. Yeah...
You may well be right but I suggest that Bottas did remarkably well in China in that case, given that he beat a 4xWDC on pure pace there, in an apparently slower car.

Or, potentially, we shouldn't necessarily ascribe gospel status to what teams say in the press.
*Shrug*
The undercut isn't a new idea so I doubt Ferrari were unaware of the threat. If Ferrari couldn't pull more than three seconds out of reach and then couldn't make up the gap on their in lap and then couldn't pressure Bottas, at all, despite the long straight and using Kimi as a mobile chicane then, no, I don't think I did.
