Apparently makes the tyres shiny so when the sun reflects off of them opponents can get blinded by sunlight.

Looks like it's telling you who set the fastest sector and had the top speed in each sector

Those are best sector times and speed traps figures, Vettel is fastest in each sectors, Sainz has the top speeds.

It means Sainz has the fastest speed trap in that sector.

He has highest top speed at that speed trap.

I would guess easier extraction from the mold and less wear of the mold.

Its the name of the person at the top of the table, the numbers in 280 series are max speed at speed traps, rest are times.

AMUS reports, new Williams only completed Wednesday now.

I've missed the olden days where Ferrari would drive straight out of the garage in their first test and set a staggering pace straight out of the box.

Of course in the olden days it would be just breaking the lap record on their own at Fiorano but still.

Compound1 is hardest and 5 is softest, aren't they?

Yup!

[jjn9128]

Compound1 is hardest and 5 is softest, aren't they?

Yes - at each race white is hard, yellow = medium, red = soft.

Nopes mate only 3 compounds with a C3 softest and a Beta C3 for testing.
