Mercedes AMG F1 W03

[aduka11]

Nico is on Hard tyres.

[Mr.S]

Nico is probably doing a race Simulation.

1.27.158
1.27.608
1.27.609
1.27.984
1.28.228
1.28.459
1.29.062
1.29.363
1.29.217
1.29.389
1.29.208
1.29.341
1.29.548

Edit -

Contd.. ->
1.30.024
1.29.912
1.29.898.

That is a 15 Lap Stint with the Hard Tyres.

IT is not a race simulation. Rosberg did a 1.26.690 & 1.27.044 after that & is now in the pits for quite a few minutes

[Mr.S]

hmmmm Mclaren Nose is legal or not? why they don't choose a stepped nose??? total strange. i hope FIA BAN Mclaren.

hmm best times on super-soft tires?

Nico's best time is probably on Hard tyres,why should he use Super Softs,it wont be used for the first 3 steps.

Why should FIA ban mclaren??

Haha... Why should it not be legal. Mclaren had a similar nose design last year too. Brawn GP & Mercedes have had such low noses,all teams have had low noses historically at some point of time. There is nothing bad or illegal about it. As a matter of fact the stepped nose looks probably ugly,but is thought to be better performance wise.

He WAS on a race sim, Di Resta caused a red flag.

[Mr.S]

There was red flag. Di Resta went into the gravel. So this could probably be a Race Sim.

I am talking the 2 laps before the flag with the present as a continous stint as the times look identical.

So Far his Stint ->

1.26.690
1.27.044
(RED FLAG)
1.27.804
1.27.483
1.27.791
1.27.902
1.28.138
1.28.357
1.28.043
1.27.817
1.28.373
1.28.231
1.28.381
1.28.455
1.28.327
1.27.713

Including the pre-RED FLAG laps,that is a 16 lap stint

THE pace looks good. Better than Michael's yesterday. Very encouraging signs.

[clipsy1H]

records of laps in a season? Michael did yesterday 127? so can Nico beat him?

BTW: Yesterday Michael run only with Hard tyres?


Anybdy have idea what happen if w03 have a normal race crash smthing like Valencia last year what happen with wing??? how they can replace wing?? look so tiny and suspension is to close.

im sure no one think about this so I'm a genius. hope some1 can answer me about how can replace front win. (mb he can show us a photo with his theory)

[VT-Doo]

Pure speculation, but Mercedes is looking good. No major problems and are running race sims already. Times are consistent and some could say comparable to the top 3 teams...well top 2 teams as Ferrari are still looking like they're lagging behind.

[VT-Doo]

11:20 Now a new personal best from Rosberg as a 1m24.092s moves him past Maldonado for sixth.

11:22 The German is running on hard tyres after his pitstop.

[Mr.S]

Okay another 16 Lap Hard Tyre Stint from Nico. The first was a 11 Lap Hard Tyre Sting & a 16 Lap Hard Tyre Stint.

So all in all 11 + 16 + 16 + 16 = 59 Laps. MSC did 66 laps. MSC probably carried more fuel than Nico so would probably be few a tenths slower.

Anyways Times of Last Stint -

1.24.092
1.24.956
1.25.434
1.25.739
1.25.443
1.25.611
1.26.063
1.26.874
1.27.115
1.27.084
1.27.137
1.27.421
1.27.515
1.27.532

[VT-Doo]

92 laps before lunch =D>

Summary of Nico's RACE SIMULATION -

viewtopic.php?p=313556#p313556

[Eruuh]

12:43 Rosberg completed the 16 laps of his race simulation and returns to the pits. He was the complete Grand Prix distance of 66 laps on hard tires on the road. In a real race course that was not allowed.

66 or less?

[eyedexe]

66 laps with pit and outlaps.

[Eruuh]

So maybe there was not less fuel than Michael yesterday!

Race sim looks very good! In my opinion

I saw some photos of today's tests and NICO was driving with intermediate tyres (blue letters)
