Stop worring, this is why tests are run. Begin to worry if it happens at the first three races as well...mclaren_mircea wrote:A gearbox problem means that's the end of running today for @LewisHamilton . A total of 89 laps completed today.
Another day another problem for Mercedes. As I said, it's very very much. I think it was only one single day when the car didn't report a problem since 28 January.

I'm worring because I really want to be sure that we won't see another Vettel victory. Despite all the Renault problems, I'm very afraid by Red Bull bouncing back. Like James Allen if someone has extra 100 millions an 100 extra engineers to fix a problem, than it's Red Bull.CBeck113 wrote:Stop worring, this is why tests are run.

You are talking like Merc's testing so far has gone dreadfull, chill out with the drama m8. It could be a small gearbox issue. But with only 1:30hrs left maybe the mechanics would take 1 hour the fix it thats to much hassle for only 30 min of running, who knows. But mclaren_mircea you do know that all the teams are on track to find issue and to solve them. Nobody is running without having issues. There are 2 days left to find problems, if everything works on the last day without any problem then you have had a successful testing period.mclaren_mircea wrote:A gearbox problem means that's the end of running today for @LewisHamilton .

Mercedes have obviously had the least amount of problems of all the teams. These cars are so new, every team would love to run their car all day everyday of the 12 days of testing. Mercedes have been able to run the car longer, harder and faster. So to me, that says they have had less problems than the rest. If other teams had less problems, Mercedes wouldnt be topping the millage charts! Simplemclaren_mircea wrote:I'm worring because I really want to be sure that we won't see another Vettel victory.

On W05 there are to many faillures. You can't say that this is testing if something is breaking every day. If you have moments when something breaks on the car is ok, it's part of the testing, but it's more then scarryt if that is happening every day.
Oh, we were talking about number of laps, not the difference in lap-times, my apologies... That's a bit more relevant, but definitely not a determining factor, in my opinion...NathanOlder wrote: More familiar and more comfortable in the car I'd imagine.
