It's a shame she didn't get a full day as her morning running on hard tyres was pretty good and very consistent. Looked like they were getting ready for some quicker runs in the afternoon before the collision. Am sure she'll say she gave Nasr enough room, Nasr will say she should have backed off more.
The prophet has spoken! Andrew Benson @andrewbensonf1 12s12 seconds ago Slightly better day for McLaren but car still v slow on straight - 305km/h. Next slowest 311.2km/h Wehrlein (Merc). Fastest: Nasr 334.3km/h
They're so confident that both drivers are throwing a sickie! "Oooo... my neck hurts a bit" and "I can't come in today 'cos me mam says I'm hot"
Maldonado is a barca master. As for Hamilton is he ill or sleeping round some blondes house? Maybe that's why Nico has a stiff neck Boom boom tish
"While Maldonado's benchmark was set on soft tyres, Kimi Raikkonen's 1:25.167 effort when running on the medium compound was by far and away the lap of the day." 1. Maldonado, Lotus, 1:25.011, 69 laps 2. Raikkonen, Ferrari, 1:25.167, 74 laps 3. Ricciardo, Red Bull, 1:25.547, 59 laps 4. Perez, Force India, 1:26.636, 34 laps 5. Nasr, Sauber, 1:27.307, 79 laps 6. Verstappen, Toro Rosso, 1:27.900, 94 laps 7. Button, McLaren, 1:28.182, 21 laps 8. Wehrlein, Force India, 1:28.329, 32 laps 9. Wehrlein, Mercedes, 1:28.489, 48 laps 10. Wolff, Williams, 1:28.906, 86 laps 11. Hamilton, Mercedes, 1:30.429, 11 laps
Hmmm, ....Fernando Alonso may be in for a torrid time tomorrow, as Honda admit they have no redesigned seal to replace the one which saw Jenson restricted to 21 laps today – that newly engineered component will arrive on Saturday.....
1 and done.. chaps.. go out on a high.. I can't top what I did last time Happy to help out but been uber busy with work over the last few months and not had much chance to peruse the forums be it this one or a footy forum I frequent too..
How do Mercedes think that not setting a fast lap time is fooling anyone. Just show your hand! You are only kidding yourself...
Alonso's times this morning seem to be broadly on a par with Raikkonen's on the same tyre. Raikkonen: 1:27.0, 1:27.1, 1:26.8, 1:26.9 and 1:27.2. Alonso: 1:26.7, 1:26.7, 1:27.1 and 1:27.4.
Seems Nico's neck is spent though, MERCEDES AMG F1 @MercedesAMGF1 4m4 minutes ago So, what's the plan for this afternoon, you ask? Well... it's #HAMmertime... #F1
