Ars has a semi-interesting article up today. Clearly not written by an F1 wonk, but still quite interesting to see some of the other surprisingly specific restrictions the FIA enforce, like on compute power: https://arstechnica.co.uk/cars/2017/04/formula-1-technology/

He is technically still Ferrari's test/reserve driver.

I think that changes if he drives another race. I mean, he'll be in that role but he wont be allowed to do any further driving for Ferrari in a test role this season as he'll be considered a senior driver.

For fucks sake, Giovinazzi, at least he managed a technical presence in Q2.

Mercedes was definitely holding back until Q3, though that little drift Hamilton recovered from on his first Q3 lap gives me hope that he hasn't figured out the tires fully yet.

Fairly certain literally every driver on the grid has lost the rear on a wet patch of track at some point before. Wouldn't write off Gio so quickly. Tough weekend for everyone.

You have to think that Wehrlein would've been back next week anyway. At this point I think it's up to Ferrari to decide if he's worth investing in.

Entertaining race, I think. Verstappen bitching bitching and moaning about Grosjean at the end made me laugh, does he expect him to just do the old Trulli move and pull over when he's well ahead? I think the Ferrari is still a great car, and other than not telling Kimi to get out of the way earlier (not sure he would've listened anyway) the strategy seemed ok. Still high hopes. Vettel could've taken it to Lewis if that Ricciardo-Kimi-Vettel train hadn't lasted so long.

It's also possible the Sauber is poo poo?

It's down to Gio for losing it while accelerating in a straight line. I mean I'm sure the Sauber is poo poo but that's a bad driver mistake.

Ford aren't in WRC really, they're vaguely supportive but the program is run and funded by M-Sport. The other 3 are all full works programs.

The full factory teams are what makes rally really good imo. Audi, Subaru and Mitsubishi coming back would be great.

Powershift posted:

They have to give 2 sets back at the end of FP2, but they only get 7 sets of supersofts for the whole weekend, so that limits their testing time on them if they intend to qualify and race on them.

Ah, thanks.

Whatever the gently caress overreaction Ferrari are doing is making me mad. Just stick to the goddamn plan.
