Moderator Tommy 12,608 Posted April 17, 2018 Moderator Share Posted April 17, 2018 That's a really cool thing from Lewis. Still irritating that he tries to speak more like an American than a Brit. But I guess he's the people's Champion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God is Haaland 618 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Some interesting pictures showing the differences of the cars between Bahrain and China: In order to get sufficient cooling for race at Bahrain almost all teams had to increase the size of hole at the rear, which has a negative effect on the aerodynamics(Coanda effect not as efficient). E Even Ferrari had open up the rear. And they even added two intakes: Only Mercedes were able keep the rear closed, despite having the strongest or 2nd strongest power unit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted April 19, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted April 19, 2018 Yeah, I've read that they opened the upper side of the engine cover for a chimney-like cooling, but only used it in free training and as you said, had no extra cooling modifications during the race. It's fascinating to see all the engineering decisions and the differences in how teams solve certain issues, very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 15.4.2018 at 10:02, Stan said: YES PHIL. But it's significant because you can tell the quality of the drivers when you see Verstappen nearly causing 2 incidents and Ricciardo sailing clean through. Plus Hamilton should've pitted during the safety car. Not sure why they didn't and we may not be having this discussion if they did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted April 20, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted April 20, 2018 14 hours ago, BartraPique1932 said: Yeah, so in the end, they DID misjudge the situation - as they didn't expect the Red Bulls to be so fast on fresh softs, they didn't expect overtakes, and they didn't expect tyre differences to be significant in general, either. So it's either a bad decision, or they are really into risk aversion this season, which I find hard to believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God is Haaland 618 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 When Mercedes and Bottas made that undercut against Vettel last race Mercedes performed the fastest pit stop since 2016: 1.83s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted April 28, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted April 28, 2018 Kimi throwing the pole again, unbelievable... Insane first two sectors though. That incident between both Toro Rosso cars was soooo dangerous, very lucky they didn't crash. Could have been really nasty. Happy for Leclerc and Sauber for making it into Q2! Should be an interesting race tomorrow, probably a few crashes and safety cars, really unsure what's going to happen, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
