High temps forecast could make this one interesting

Charlie-Bravo · 23-07-2019 10:14pm

Unusual to see drivers taking 4 of the mediums, normally its just a handful taking three. Maybe Kyvat and Hulk know something with just one set of the mediums!! :eek:

Hopefully a great race with temps so high the tyres hit the cliff early and without real warning.

How will Mercedes fare in a race with similar high temperatures to Austria?

Charlie-Bravo · 25-07-2019 12:16pm

I think atmospheric conditions not being too high in the sky shouldn't affect them as much.

Ah, so it is altitude as opposed to heat that they have trouble with? Interesting!

Charlie-Bravo · 25-07-2019 10:31pm

It could very well have been both factors. Take one away and it won't be as bad for Merc. Mexico is also a very high race so it may be telling at that race also.

Only FP1 but the new Williams seems an improvement. Kubica wasnt too far behind Giovinazzi and decently ahead of Russell. The semi-new Racing Point not to bad either both only ran on the mediums.

Edit.

Forgot to mention Grosjean's Haas (Australian spec) beats Magnussen again. Haas have been making their car worse since Australia.

Russell running with the upgrades in FP2, slightly ahead of Kubica but a second adrift of Gio.

Forecast to be a lot cooler over the weekend with a possibility of rain, so not much can be read into the high temp running today!

Joeface · 26-07-2019 7:45pm

No rain ,Vettel voted against that this year ...

Jordan 199 · 26-07-2019 10:46pm

Vettel paying tribute to Bernd Schneider this weekend. That helmet looks great.

Track limits being enforced now for turns 1 and 17. If any part of the car goes beyond the kerb your time gets deleted. That'll make for a very confusing qualy.

It's good they're enforcing the limit, will reward the drivers who get it right and punish mistakes.

The ferrari looks quick but I can't escape the feeling Mercedes are holding something back

Going to see lots of stewards action again, hurray.

pjohnson · 27-07-2019 11:55am

Its a start I guess. Prefer those sausage kerbs to really punish them but hey ho.

skipper_G · 27-07-2019 2:11pm

Vettel with some engine problem sitting in the garage without a time on the board, chance of going out in Q1

skipper_G · 27-07-2019 2:14pm

Ferrari must be cursed or something, Vettel out

Yeah that too

skipper_G · 27-07-2019 2:18pm

A quarter of a second separating 3rd form the drop zone. This is crazy, anybody could go out

skipper_G · 27-07-2019 2:20pm

Both Racing Points into Q2, hallelujah the upgrades have helped.

Norris out is surprising

Cool_CM · 27-07-2019 2:28pm

Have to feel for Seb. Hope he can get over it and go balls to the wall tomorrow

skipper_G · 27-07-2019 2:33pm

Verstappen now with an engine problem, bummer he was in the mix

Edit: he's on track, good news

skipper_G · 27-07-2019 2:44pm

Five different teams eliminated in Q2, the midfield fight is insanely tight

Rossi IRL · 27-07-2019 2:49pm

Work being done on Leclerc now during Q3

Wow, only 0.033 between Hulk in 8th and Ricciardo in 13th.

Cool_CM · 27-07-2019 2:52pm

And LeClerc too, FFS

Rossi IRL · 27-07-2019 2:52pm
