So, Hamilton just posted a 18.8 on C2 compound. How fast was Ferrari on C2? :)

Leclerc was also an 18.8 on C2. Interestingly, Hamilton set purple in sector one on his in lap. I think they're playing around a bit.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Sorry to say this Ferrari fans.... But Mercedes are just playing games.

The car seems a bit on edge though. Twice in the runs he either went wide or the car snapped at the rear. So much so the last lap was aborted.

I guess that is a downside of not pushing for 3 days. When you do its all new and the setup needs to change.

People need to cool down with all this nonsensical Merc vs Ferrari talk! It's all about RBR this Year! ;)

Mercedes fans all week: Ferrari fans need to calm down, it’s just testing, it’s meaningless, they’re not ahead

Mercedes puts in 1 representative lap: look out Ferrari fans.

Honestly my least favourite part of sport is the fandom. Probably why I only follow f1. Just shut up and enjoy being entertained

I have not. Presumably English is not your first language, so no drama :wink:

No worries, i'm calm. This was just a question out of interest. I only noticed afterwards that LeClerc is also running 18.8 and C2 :)

They both probably have a lot of headroom left... Merc is setting the car up so they can go even faster.

Ferrari and Mercedes : 1.18.8 on C2 tyres
Renault: 1.19.0 on C2 tyres
Haas: 1.19.5 on C2 tyres

Same day, same hour, same track conditions - but of course we don't know fuel or engine mode -

Still interesting to see

No need to pretend that because one Mercedes fan said so every other Mercedes fan agrees.

Fair, and bad timing with the above post. Honestly, this was about Twitter/facebook. Go check it out if/when you’re in the mood to be annoyed :)
