Here's a quick question,

Autosport just mentioned Vettel ends a stint (Medium tyre) with some laps in the 1.32's.
They say it would be a concern if he was in part of a race simulation. So maybe he was running with full tanks. They mention Rosberg was on 1 compound lighter (soft) with a lap of 1.28.8 at 2.16pm today. Am I right in that it was the start of his race simulation. At this current time Rosberg has just started his last stint of his race simulation.

What im getting at is, when Rosberg did his 1.28.8 he was on a full tank. As these cars pretty much use a full tank yo run a race ( hence all the fuel saving.)

So im seeing Rosberg 1.28.8 full tank for sure.
Vettel 1.32.? Unknown fuel.

Or am I missing something.

Where are you getting the 1:32's from?
Here are med stint times for Vet?
1:29.9, 1:30.1, 1:30.0, 1:30.1, 1:30.4, 1:30.4, 1:30.2, 1:30.9, 1:30.8 and 1:31.0.
Much Merc sensationalism?

15:28 Vettel comes into the pits, bringing to an end a stint on the mediums where he was regularly lapping in the 1m32s. Now, you're never sure what a team is up to in testing, but if that was part of a race simulation it would be a concern, because we haven't seen any laps in the 1m32s from the Mercedes drivers during their medium-tyre stints. Perhaps it was just a full-tank run for Vettel.

Sebastian Vettel is on a longer run on the medium compound. His lap times: 1:29.9, 1:30.1, 1:30.0, 1:30.1, 1:30.4, 1:30.4, 1:30.2, 1:30.9, 1:30.8 and 1:31.0.
and first stint of Nico was on soft tyres

But the soft is not 2.5 seconds faster than the medium.

and first stint of Nico was on soft tyres

But the soft is not 2.5 seconds faster than the medium.

15:20 Rosberg's into his fourth lap on this run on soft tyres, and his pace has dropped from 1m28.8s to 1m29.8s over those four laps.

P.S.
It's only 1 second difference and the Nico's stint was 7 laps against 17 of seb stint

Im just going on Autosport saying Vettel was regularly in the 32's. And Rosberg did a 1.28.8 on full tank. Why was Vettel in the 32's ?

What 32's?

[NathanOlder]

Im not in Barcelona. Autosport are, so im going with that.

Edit, if they got it wrong then its all over nothing. Im just going on what im reading guys.

[Chene_Mostert]

Im not in Barcelona. Autosport are, so im going with that.

Like the 37's and 35's Ros were doing?

[NathanOlder]

How is that regular. Nico did 1 37, and 1 35 in a 60+ race sim. Probably traffic.

[NathanOlder]

Im asking a simple question and the Ferrari Mafia jump me. Jeez.
