Ferrari were running extremely low/conservative engine settings and Sainz was using the old spec engine. They are right behind Merc in Sector 2 and 3

Perez's race pace was close if not equal. So team orders still on the cards.
That doesn't really matter, if Valtteri can do a stint like that so can Lewis!Dee wrote: ↑06 Nov 2021, 01:43Again, Max and Lewis had similar stints. I wasn't talking about Bottasdans79 wrote: ↑06 Nov 2021, 01:36Maxlap 9 out lap 10 1:17.301 11 1:54.166 12 1:43.455 13 1:17.619 14 in lap

I thought Ferrari looked so slow- I honestly expected them to be exceptional on the low speed sections here but the car looked heavy and unresponsive.Dee wrote: ↑06 Nov 2021, 01:46Ferrari were running extremely low/conservative engine settings and Sainz was using the old spec engine.

To quote Martin Brundle: not in a month of Sundays will SP be allowed to win unless MV is out of the race
Or the soft maybe overheat quickly.atanatizante wrote: ↑06 Nov 2021, 00:19Both Merc`s drivers didn`t run the M tyre all day long and I wonder why? Presumably, they`ll use them in FP3 hence qualify in Q2 but to have no data still baffles me ...
Regarding race simulation laps, VER (13 laps) and PER (11 laps) were testing just the M tyres posting times in lower 1.21 and higher 1.20 ... the Merc`s drivers were on average at least 1 sec. slower on the S tyres, then they switched to the H tyre and BOT did the same high 1.20 times as VER was doing, low fuel being maybe the main factor for that ...
Where these really racesims? They don’t look anything like the stats for racesims on other tracks I’ve seen. To base any conclusions on this for the race seems odd.dans79 wrote: ↑06 Nov 2021, 01:36Maxlap 9 out lap 10 1:17.301 11 1:54.166 12 1:43.455 13 1:17.619 14 in lap
