He's probably thinking Alonso can "outdrive" the Ferrari to make it look like the 3rd best car on the grid. You know, like the myth that he has "outdriven" the F2012 for example. Or basically every car he didn't win the championship in.Dyanxx wrote:Force India ahead of Mercedes? interesting.FrukostScones wrote:Qualy pace:

No. Kimi will show, what "outdriving" really means.Helios wrote:He's probably thinking Alonso can "outdrive" the Ferrari to make it look like the 3rd best car on the grid.

No it is not. Putting Merc on top is plants eating sun and shitting air easy. It is just how it is.FrukostScones wrote:Putting Merc on top of the prediction is too easy folks.
Basicilly, this was THE circuit of tyre management last year. If you can say about a "team tyre deg. is pretty low" on this circuit, you can assume even less problems on other circuits.Consider the graph above of Mercedes powered cars on Day 3. Mercedes runs and groupings show consistency and pace and the tyre degradation is pretty low. “Mercedes engineers looking at this graph will be pleased with where they are so far,” says Gillan. “Day 4 wasn’t so great as they had some problems, but Day 3 with Rosberg was very consistent. They are the team to beat in Melbourne.”

Putting FI above Merc and Ferrari is ridiculous, just like putting Marussia above of anyone. FI is 2sec down on the rest of the Merc teams and Marussia did nothing else than Q-laps and is still not faster than RB in race mode...
The same with Sauber. How can they be better than McL in any case? McL can do laps during their longruns matching the Q-Laps of Sauber!

I still do not see how he can read this from the times posted. In his race sims the Merc dropped like anyone else around 3sec per stint. This is worse than last year.turbof1 wrote:James Allen made a sturdy analysis on this:

Sorry, had to laugh so much. So can your expertise explain how Sauber can be on top of McL?FrukostScones wrote: calm down noob, but love your last sentence!
yep, really makes sense that his beloved McLaren can run in the race as fast as Sauber in qualy!Jef Patat wrote:you really need to look up the meaning of noob, for your reference: http://nl.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=noobFrukostScones wrote:calm down noob, but love your last sentence!
what basti313 wrote makes more sense to me
I can see why Maldonado is your favourite driver...FrukostScones wrote:

no on pisses against my prediction!
If you don't like mine make your own.
... and now Merc is only as fast as Willams on the same tyre, doh!
In 13 days will see what happens! Predicting is about fun and not about what is right or wrong, capiche!
