Indeed, the pics from this weekend in the RB12 topic show what an insane aero work of art that car is!

Funny, i saw the exact same comment on the mercedes forum and the mclaren forum about their perspective cars... go figure. Lol

Never underestimate Adrian Newey.

I do all the time, because for ever really good car he has created, he has created a complete pos as well. To top it off, he always blames someone else when its not that good.

Too much rear bias for Massa??

Too much rear bias for Massa??

I bet it's more of the Williams DRS related instability!

[Francesc]

I think the rear wing downforce stalled when he closed the DRS. It already happened to Williams last season... They don't seem to learn. Can't be a coincide that it happens again when they introduce a new rear wing.

[Sevach]

Given what he said and the way the car snapped that seems to be the case.

On the italian version of Motorsport Live Text there's is written that Raikkonen said there's is a bump where there's new asphalt and that might have caused the crash.

Was that Max that Bottas almost rear-ended?

The Renault engine is close!

[dans79]

Lewis faster on supers than Nico on the ultras by a lot, and his time would have been good for P3 last year.

The Renault engine is close!

Indeed but wonder how close once the Merc turns up the power. That said fascinating all the developments all the teams are bringing! One part of me enjoys the Merc dominance but the other part of me is enjoying how close the others are to catching up to the class leading Merc!

[dans79]

is it just me or are the ultras useless?

[PlatinumZealot]

Rosberg is half a second slower than Hamilton on them. Track temp is 27 degrees.

is it just me or are the ultras useless?

Wait for tomorrow. Today it's all about race preparations due to temperates much more similar to sunday. Ultras will shine tomorrow.

[godlameroso]

They're useless compared to the super softs. They're not a significant step faster like the difference between the soft and super soft. Also the race pace seems to be similar to the last race time wise.

In any case it's a moot point because they may not even touch the dry weather compounds during the race. It's hard to read exactly when the rain is supposed to come, my original estimate a week and a half ago was that it would rain towards the end of the race, but now I'm not so sure. It's just very likely that it will rain on race day, but when exactly, or if it will hit the circuit is a bit hazy.
