How many races do you guys think Ferrari will win this season? Personally, I'm thinking 21, as they own. Thoughts?

Failrari will win maybe 2-4 races all season, far behind WCC and WDC winners Red Bull who will win at least half the races this year.

Pretty strange that Mercedes have a blatant cheat mode in their engine that nobody else knew about. WEird that this isn't a bigger story but I guess it's inevitable that all involved will be banned from the sport soon so they're having their fun while they can. #ForzaFerrari

This poo poo doesn't add up to me, maybe somebody can explain it.

They say that they miscalculated how much time delta would be different between someone's time in pit lane or someone staying out, which Vettel pitted. The software had the wrong delta amount.

But they also say that they get the program times from FIA and the drivers just try to stay within that time. Why wasn't Hamilton going as fast as he could? He says "we thought we were safe, we thought we had margin".

Did they say "Hey mate according to our quick calculations you've got 20 seconds until Vettel gets out so just slow it down and chill" ??

If Hamilton was going the fastest he could under VSC limits, then it doesn't matter whether their software calculated anything, they were done.

VSC doesn't make you stay X seconds behind the car in front, it makes you stay X seconds under your pace, right?

I think the point is that they thought before the VSC even happened, that if a VSC happened then there would have been enough gap. They might have pitted Hamilton later, or told him to turn up the party mode after the pit stop to buy more room.

Bahrain is a great track IMO, that was a great race and Honda-Aston-RedBull is probably going to dominate next year.

F1 book suggestions?

Almost finished Adrian Newey's book and I've really enjoyed. My God does that man have autism. He's great

Any recommendations? Preferably modern era as I've read a fair few historic F1 books

I've been reading Total Competition by Brawn, I've enjoyed it so far.
