It's going to come down to how much Vettel can jam Hamilton behind him until the Mercedes overheats and has to drop back. I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing that the Mercedes still has the same following problems it did in 2017.

Wirth1000 posted:Leclerc just destroyed Stroll too That's a big takeaway from this race, the Sauber cars are noted poo poo right now, and Leclerc was able to hold of Stroll without ever being challenged. Of course the Williams is also pretty bad, but it still has a merc unit in the back and qualified way higher up the pack.

iospace posted:Hard It was different wheels, so different guns, but they all share the same air pressure system, so if that wasn't able to supply all the guns fully at the same time, it could cause this. It happened to another team (Renault, I think?) a few years ago, but they caught it before the stop and switched to backup guns (the in garage air system is separate, iirc)

Mercedes posted a video explaining how the VSC pit pass happened in Australia. It's not really new info, but they do say exactly how it came about, and go into some detail about the exact rules that were in play in each section of the track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3-ZQqU8m08

iospace posted:Ferrari: Let's complain about burning oil, then vent our burning oil to the atmosphere to show how much more we're burning than everyone else. During engine start, Ferrari claims the seals on the turbo don't fit perfectly, so oil is allowing through and burned by the engine. Once the turbo heats up, the seals correctly mate and the burning stops. During the race, it's no longer allowed to use turbo waste gasses as part of the combustion mix, so Ferrari chose to vent them out a port in the back of the car next to the rain light. Other manufacturers have chosen to vent these gasses into the exhaust or into the engine bay, where they aren't as noticeable.

Wirth1000 posted:With the V10s and V8s they had to run hot water through dedicated channels in the block just to heat it up so it can be started up lol That's still true of current engines, though they have electric heating elements built in instead of external water. There are generators for each car on the starting grid if you look during a broadcast.

Frond posted:I'm sad because Williams looks loving atrocious. For the love of god put anybody else in the car. I don't think that would help. Williams is shaping up to have a really poo poo year, everything about that car is turning out to be wrong. They've somehow managed to gently caress up having the fastest and most reliable engine in F1, and everything else is just worse from there.

Thanks Ants posted:I think Paddy Lowe is just that poo poo tbh This I agree with, he's very over rated. And while people can rag on stroll and rag on sirotkin, and I completely agree that Kubica is better than both of them combined, Stroll isn't even measuring up to what the car could do last year, and no matter how much he sucks he isn't getting worse, so something happened. Both Ferrari and Mercedes swapping rear wings around in China FP1.

Ahhh gently caress, there is a huge loving chime sound whenever the flag symbol appears (red, yellow, green) and it's really badly done and much louder than anything else going on. I hope this isn't F1/Liberty loving around, because it's really bad.

Wiltsghost posted:lol poois I expect a bunch of ragging on Lewis about this FP spin, but it's one thing he's expressly explained as an imitation of Schumacher, who always pushed the limits during FPs to find out exactly where the edges of the envelope were, because spins and overruns barely matter in FP. I'm surprised we don't see more drivers doing this type of thing. Also, Dan blowing it up.

Haas / Grosjean already having problems. If Soft is the tire to run, Ferrari is really working that tire better than Merc. That's opposite of what it's been so far this year, and it may be Merc is so gentle on the tire it doesn't stay warm enough. I don't think this is everything yet, though.

learnincurve posted:Something odd is going on for sure. They are still allowed to burn some oil, however a big change that wasn't really talked about is you now have to run the same oil formulation in qualifying and the race, which is new for 2018. No more super lightweight qualifying oils. I'm leaning towards Merc really working on the tire wear issues that Ferrari had them beat on in 2017, and they've gotten to the point where they are so 'gentle' on the tries they couldn't get the tire temps up high enough during the out lap to really turn on the tires in the way Ferrari managed to. I don't think we will see the same gap going forward because no other track in the calendar will be as cold as this race is turning out to be, though the track should be warmer on Sunday, and that may be just enough.

Zaphod42 posted:Most races they have 3 tires that are in a row as far as durability, right? I'm sure there was one, but I also recall it went ultra, super, then medium, and was useless. Everybody just ran the super. Or maybe super, soft, then hard? It jumped at the top end, not the bottom end.

Theophany posted:I honestly think Are Dan's best move for now is to keep Red Bull sweet because they're starting to come good again and he realistically doesn't have a shot at Ferrari for 2 more years and, depending on the outcome of Hamilton's negotiations, Mercedes for 1-2 years. At least by staying at RBR he can pick off the occasional win, a few podiums and keep fresh in everybody's minds how good he is. Yeah, but Honda. Dan’s also said he doesn’t want to still be racing in ~5 years, which will cut down his appeal a bit but also means he won’t jam up a seat if there are up and coming drivers from a team program.

Sulphagnist posted:What's that widget on the front wing even for, if Verstappen's doing perfectly fine without it? The endplate stops air spilling off the side of the front wing and being 'spun' by the outside of the front tire. That spun air forms a vortex that behaves like a tornado, pulled hard on anything it's 'touching'. If you can avoid that, forcing air up and over the tire, you reduce drag a lot. This is one of the changes coming for 2019, they are widening the front wing so it matches the front tire width, and simplifying the wing designs. The goal is to make it easier to control these vortices and leave the air behind the car less disturbed.
