I'm referring to Mr. "All cars are fast and all drivers are the best in the world." Also known as Mr. "Drain the G load" or Mr. "only move to the braking zone 100m before the corner" :lol:

I must admit the times were not really a true representation as we all know, some funny stories with Vettel chasing Hamilton lap after lap, clearly to put him off the test.
He tried it with Alonso who promptly came into the pits and then Schumacher and Button did the same on the Thursday so full race runs were often altered due to traffic and strategic positioning of cars, thats my opinion anyway

Force India were mighty and the car looked very well balanced
Can you write some more about those chasings? I dont get it. Plz!

15:06 Schumacher is losing about 2.5s in lap time across a 10 lap stint on a set of softs at present.

They are doing alot of laps on the soft tyres but don't know what are they doing to fix the degradation issues.

they are just sandbagging as its almost impossible to lose 2.5s in 10laps ots worse than last year's degradation

As far as I can tell Schumi has done 7 stints on softs so far. Degradation/Average LapTime was (per lap):
0.32 / 1:24.88
0.25 / 1:25.5
0.53 / 1:25.26
0.47 / 1:25.04
0.56 / 1:24.95
0.38 / 1:30.19
0.36 / 1:29.54

They left all the ballast in Brackley.

I imagine someone was standing next to the telegraph machine in the pits at Barcelona tapping away new messages after each lap to Stuttgart to report on the good fortune they seem to be growing accustomed to.

The Mercedes AMG team is the most popular team, deal with it.

According to Auto Motor und Sport they improved their fric-suspension system.
