Doubt the Mercs will have a shot tomorrow. Ferrari has the speed and strategical advantage with Bottas having a shocker.
This looks liked a nailed on 1-3, potentially 1-2 for Ferrari.
from there
The coverage is so unbelievably terrible. In the closing seconds of the most important session of the day all you have is the start straight and you don't who's up to what, if anyone made a mistake or anything you don't get to see it. Even after the event you miss some very important highlights for a long with interviews and analyses etc. conquers screen time.
He locked up 3 times in his second qualy lap as well.Zynerji wrote: ↑Sat Jun 08, 2019 8:24 pmEasy mistake tho. Hamilton putting it into the wall was far worse, but just at a better time.Restomaniac wrote: ↑Sat Jun 08, 2019 8:24 pmAlso THAT is why Bottas isn’t on Hamilton and Vettel’s level.
Yes and he was quite definite about it. It can't have been much, as Lewis was still quicker than his first run, but Seb's lap must've been 101% perfect
Nah, the data from Friday was way skewed. I don't think there's anything in between them, but I favor Ferrari since they have the strategy advantage, especially if Leclerc jumps Hamilton.Restomaniac wrote: ↑Sat Jun 08, 2019 8:52 pmMercedes has the edge on long runs and by a fair bit too.
That is called picking your moments, he can afford to push harder in fp1 and 2, not in fp3 or qualyZynerji wrote: ↑Sat Jun 08, 2019 8:24 pmEasy mistake tho.

Bottas is 6th not 10th and is highly likely to just eat Ricciardo and Gasly in the Renault and RedBull!F1Krof wrote: ↑Sat Jun 08, 2019 8:53 pmNah, the data from Friday was way skewed.

Friday race simulations might bw inflated due to Mercs testing the limits of the engine but they still had big race pace advantage in almost all the racea this season, maybe except Bahrain. With their fuel efficiency and tyre expertise Lewis still has a good chance of making it.F1Krof wrote: ↑Sat Jun 08, 2019 8:53 pmNah, the data from Friday was way skewed.
