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.
Hopes of more points rest over instability of Haas drivers and a possible meltdown of Verstappen...rs
They could have taken here if ready tho.
I agree. P7 is possible today. But it will be close. During the race I expect Renault and Haas not to be a threat though.Darth-Piekus wrote: ↑12 May 2018, 13:42I wouldn't worry much. Mclaren is much better in general than Renault, Haas and Force India and has a bigger budget and will be able to outdevelop them. Our target is to enter these top 3 teams Mercedes,Ferrari and Red Bull who are very close to each other.
I am confident that today on the Qualifications we will have the set up needed to enter Q3 and start in front of those teams.
How to fix F1? Ban the FIA. For once the halo looked okay with some things hanging off. But that aside, is the mirror placement the issue (FIA really messed up if it is) or the winglet above (My guess)? I can get no straight answers anywhere.LM10 wrote: ↑12 May 2018, 13:02Well, you don't just think if something is illegal or not, you look it up. These are rules written down so it makes less to no sense to tell that they thought it was not illegal.taperoo2k wrote: ↑12 May 2018, 12:56Horner said on Skysports F1 yesterday during FP2 that RedBull looked at a similar idea but didn't pursue it
as they thought it was illegal. Could just be the usual Horner spin of course but I don't think it's all that safe to
be hanging mirrors off the halo device.
The rule tells that you are not allowed such big wings on the halo. Ferrari didn't put the wing on the halo, but on the mirror. So technically it is allowed. Ferrari went to the legal limits which is absolutely ok and FIA declared it as illegal afterwards which is really ridiculous. But I'm not surprised anymore.
The issue was that it wasn't Mercedes or Red Bull to create those mirrors, because in such a case they would have not forbidden them after having said they were legal.Mamba wrote: ↑12 May 2018, 14:34How to fix F1?
