Yeah ok, so something popped :lol: . They might have rushed this too much. It is strange though: they were able to run the filming day without a single issue. That's 100km.
ALO did only 3 laps, how many Stoffel did I don't know... but they didn't do 100km I think.

Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

So quali record at Barcelona from this configuration of the circuit in 2008 was 1:20.5 84 - I think it's fair to say that's going to go in the next two weeks (even if running a SS or US would be unrepresentative, I think they'll get down lower than that with softs).

It would not surprise me to see someone in the mid to low 19's.

Is it safe (looking at the speedtrap scores) to say that Ferrari lacks in downforce?
