Toto said they are not sure yet. I don't think they'll catch up with Ferrari in terms of engine power since Ferrari spec 3 is said to be another step as well.
This is where it has been biting Ferrari. When there are no rumors, they come out with something good and when there are these BIG GAINS, BIG STEP, BIG UPGRADE, they turn out to be dud.
Why is the next spec PU made available immediately after the summer break? Great planning by the FIA
First Back to back win of the season?
The development should be on hold during the holiday. All work on test and development should stop.
Maybe it was meant to say first double back to backsiskue2005 wrote: ↑29 Jul 2018, 17:57First Back to back win of the season?
Australia and bahrain Vettel
Baku and Esp Lewis
I am sure Vet would be there with Lewis in DRS range. However, it would definitely be harder to pass than Bottas. I still think he would have a chance. One slow motion showed how bad Hamilton tyres (I think they were about 15 laps old at that momemnt) were.NathanOlder wrote: ↑29 Jul 2018, 17:26The trouble is we dont know how much pace Lewis or Seb had. So it may not have been the case. Even if Vettel caught Lewis , Seb wouldn't have passed. Seb only passed Bottas because his tyres were so worn. Lewis had 10 less laps on his tyres. So Lewis would never have had the tyre problems that bot had.
Even Toto agrees with you Fabian77fabian77 wrote: ↑29 Jul 2018, 17:17Lol Hamilton could not have today without Bottas helpNathanOlder wrote: ↑29 Jul 2018, 17:16
Enjoy that thought while it lasts. Vettel never wins a title unless he has a red bull alongside Webber. Lol
Spain + France = Pirelli spec 2 tires who suits more the W09LionKing wrote: ↑29 Jul 2018, 17:45There has been 12 races so far:NathanOlder wrote: ↑29 Jul 2018, 17:36Yeah, Vettel has the fastest and most reliable car and a proper supporting team mate. He must be miles out in front.
Merc had the advantage in 5 of them. Australia, Spain, Austria, France and Britain.
RBR was best at Monaco.
Ferrari at Bahrain, China, Azerbaijan, Canada, Germany and Hungary.
