I was just getting ready to say, it's looking less and less likely for rain. Shame, I was looking forward to some wet racing.

Big difference in PL1.

Ferrari ran with Hungary GP diffuser

Wow, not even 200mph? I wonder how much faster they will get as the weekend progresses and engines are turned up.

Nope, that post is only showing what new parts they´re using, not the upgrades each part has received

The speed trap is at the exit of Radillon. The speeds at the end of the Kemmel straight are naturally going to be faster, although I'm not sure of exact numbers.

That's rather a weird place to have a speed trap. Also that means they are going really freaking quick through that Eau Rouge-Radillon complex. Always blows my mind!

The S1 beam is pretty close to the braking zone, those will be the numbers you want.

Interesting tyre choices. Red Bull and McLaren using ultrasoft only. Several other teams not using them at all.

Mercedes are super strong on the soft.
