Scarbs was saying there are at least 2 other teams using an "S-duct" other than Ferrari. Did we get to know who are those teams? :D
:lol: Wait for the Baku and Imola updates. Then you will see what everyone is hiding.

No but signs point to Haas based on sharing a factory/engineers and they have a cooling duct (unlike a gill) that they can open behind the cockpit in a similar place to Ferrari. It's possible they take some air from inside the sidepod intake as a slightly different interpretation. And Scarbs probably discusses with engineers who are thinking about what they have in the tunnel a couple of months ahead of where the car is now. So as AR3-GP says we might know definitively if any other teams will use it by Imola

I would put money on Mclaren as another given their talk of the b-spec.

the softs aren't offering much more grip than the mediums here it seems. Maybe going c2-c3-c5 was the better choice

Lots of drivers having moments and finding the gravel.



All ferrari customers taking a new ICE already

Everything is upside down. Lewis shames Alonso, Russell and Perez. Merc is back. FP1 for the ages

Looked like a tricky session. Softs didn't seem to get grippy at all.

Yap it was very weird. It will be colder tomorrow as well, so maybe it'll get worse

Does anyone know what the top speed difference was between VER and PER? I'm curious since they were running different rear wings.
