Piastri also showed he had some amazing pace too. It would be really amazing. It's really promising, given they had all their upgrades, that it's actual improvement in the car that gave them the pace and not just a quirk of the track. I guess Imola will show us how true that is 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Max says that his car had floor damage / hole which might explain why it couldn’t compete with the Mclaren. Hopefully it’s just some sour grapes and the Mclaren genuinely is very quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VSC The VSC was brought out because Max hit the bollard. And Lando was already very quick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) Where Max picked up the damaged floor in lap 20. Full safety car was 9 laps later. I’m a little bit more concerned that the Mclaren was not as quick as we thought and it was clouded by the Red Bull being slower than it should have been.

Max hardly streaked away from Oscar early doors and both McLarens would have finished in front of Perez had Sainz not ruined Oscar’s race. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perez for some reason seems to struggle to get the most out of that car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted May 10 Author Moderator Share Posted May 10 4 hours ago, Genie said: Ferrari has been testing spray guards for the FIA these last few days Well that's weird. Must have a look around to find out more. Open wheel single seater racing has a few fairly clear pre-requisites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 14 VT Supporter Share Posted May 14 Yeah I can't seem to find what the purpose of those are. I mean reduce spray I guess, but why? Is it a safety thing? Or is it to allow cars to race closer in wet conditions? Weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please report back on what it’s like! It's not for kids, mate. It's for 38 year old men like me No just kidding, looks really fun for all ages to be honest. I'll report back next week on how it was. Not that cheap though, £31 each for 45 minutes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
