Reading and hearing different reports. Some say should be now, some mid and some end/after

What about race strategy for the leading teams:
Merc with a SS-M or SS-S-S maybe, Ferrari : S-M and RB: SS-S?

I noticed this yesterday already: the broadcast is so bad it looks amateur. Either the cameras are to close or the field of view is too narrow, the cars look way too close to the camera.

I tell you what that RB looks real handy.

Vettel and Bottas have made it quiet easy into turn 1 imo

[astracrazy]

Mercedes could be in for a difficult race i think. Now Ferrari are up to speed and Red Bull are already quick

[LM10]

Bottas doing what he does best.

[astracrazy]

Im sure he will tell us he had the pace to win

Oof Ham's front left looks like a curtain slashed by a knife.

Cornering only has an effect when the straight isn't long. Usually if a straight is long enough to allow you to reach over 300kph, then the corner exit wouldn't have any visible effect on the top speed (unless of cause that exit was completed messed up).

Corner exit will affect when the car gets to top speed, of course. It's one reason corner exit affects lap time.

No, the car will get to the top speed it's supposed to get as long as the straight is long enough and we're talking about slight difference in the corner exit quality. This is the same case with pretty much every long straights in F1.

Read what I wrote. A slow exit will mean the car is further down the straight before it gets to its top speed. On some circuits, that will prevent top speed being reached - in the case of an extremely bad exit. Obviously, most of the time it will only mean a small loss of lap time.

We really need more tracks like this. Short with a long straight. Offers a better race by keeping the pack closer.

Spectacular job by Verstappen and RedBull.

I knew mercedes boxed way too soon, they were setting personal bests at the time, not sure what they were thinking really.
