Now... i don`t know what is going on with this year`s tyres compounds compared to last one but... i honestly doubt Ferrari lost 0.6 and i just think they are sandbagging.
Looking at the video you can clearly see:
- A big lift-off on the main straight at and end of the lap (Red light turning on on steering wheel and engine rev just stops increasing way before the finish line)
- Wide apexes with no understeer in turns 5-6-9 while perfectly on the apex on the rest of the track (great way to sandbag too)
- Very neat third sector with very good traction out of the final chicane
- Overall good looking and very driveable car on track
If we also take into account low engine modes rumors and the now famous last sector 26.0 done with c3 (or maybe it was even c2?) this car is not looking that bad at all to me.
just for reference, bottas last week fastest lap vs vettel.
form what i saw from the video, seb lost lot of a time at the entry of the last chicane
