That Haas is quick. Any chance oval experience within the team can be applied to their F1 cars? Certain things that are designed or configured similar to oval configurations?

Hamilton´s stint is pretty fast. Its seems that they dont have problems with tyre degradation and temperatures. Bad news for the rest.

Do we have top speed numbers as well? I expect them to be topping at about 360 kph during qualifying. I think speeds could be even higher during the race with a tow and DRS!

That's a big nope from me. We were seeing something similar in other rounds as well. Amazing the pace of development and a few years of stable regulations will do. Which is why I was hoping 2018 would be when the new chassis rules should have been introduced to see even closer racing like we have been getting this year. Mercedes is staggering there is no doubt but Red Bull and FI have seriously upped their game. I really am enjoying this year a lot!

I doubt its true. If this would be the case, RB would have destroyed Ferrari in Spa and it didn happened(forget the initial incident, Ferrari´s pace was good).
I think Red Bull can match the Ferrari's pace, their low downforce setup is really good, they have maybe the best traction. So the key will be the tires deg and also the track position, and when you konow how fast Ricciardo can be on one lap i think one of the RB can finish ahead of the Ferrari.
