Yes one off each time as after those times he returned to the pace. Autosport said Vettel was lapping regularly in the 1.32's (meaning not a 1 off) and he pitted after. Rosberg did a 1.35 followed by a 1.28. And the 1.37 was followed by a 1.30. So clearly laps not to true pace. Do you understand what im saying ?

Not really, initially I got the idea that you were trying to relay a sensational piece of commentary suggesting that Mercedes is 4sec per lap faster than Ferrari?

[NathanOlder]

Have Ferrari done a full race sim yet ?

[F1ern]

Have Ferrari done a full race sim yet ?

Not even a half.

[snowy]

Apparently not. But it is difficult to tell as there were reports of at least five race simulations running this afternoon and I could only find times for two of them.

[snowy]

Vettel has done over 144 laps today...
Perhaps Ferrari are hiding their race simulations...

[Chene_Mostert]

If you are not Mercedes then stint times are not worth any media coverage, the new media toy, like RB used to be: "and yet another run from RB, supremely planted!

[PlatinumZealot]

@ Ferrari hiding the race sims, yeah, they probably are hiding them or they have issues and are not able to do the race rims as yet.

The Mercedes is a solid 1.2 seconds faster than the Renault at minimum, so expect the rest of the midfielders to be dristributed in a range of 1.4 to 0.8 seconds a lap down on race pace. I think the Ferrari is not any closer than 0.3 seconds.

[ripper]

0.3 seconds gap would already be an excellent improvement from last year and could give the opportunity to start from 1st row or even pole position in case of a bad HAM and ROS qualy lap.

[ferkan]

Ferrari are doing race/quali sims tomorrow and on Friday. Leo Turrini was very content this morning and just said to wait for Friday.

I think difference will be 2 tenths.

[danielk]

There is quite a large differential between the lap times of Rosberg and Ham on race runs. Hamiltons final stint looks crazy consistent in comparison. But these were on different days, so possibly track conditions played a part.
