But Ferrari can barely deliver a good car with the money they get now, imagine the drama when they get even less

but 4 seconds faster... that's like 10 lightyears in comparison |

That's a fair point aerogi, but there's two things I don't understand with this... 1) Why would they try this ploy 1/4 way into the season? The true pace of the car was seen this past weekend and this is typically a strategy pre-season. 2) Where was this pace this past weekend? |

He probably just skipped that final chicane and used the old layout to set that time, only logical explanation I can think of. |

Well if that was the case then the time wouldn't have counted. |

Maybe this is whats needed. Give the lower team softer tyres to use (like in MotoGP) |

| Post subject: | Re: 2014 Random F1 Discussion |
that would be a good rule change, weaker teams with softer tires at least in Q1 |

Or perhaps F1 could just give the lower teams more of the TV revenue and prize money and they will then be able to build a better car? |

kals wrote: Low fuel loads was probably another I guess you meant under weight? Fuel load was already the lowest at qualifying I don't know if they did it with SS either, but they used Mediums on qualifying and the gap from Mediums to SS is around 2s only and probably even less in a track like Barcelona |

Just saw on phil1993 article that indeed it was on SS I guess the other 2s came from a combination of other things like: using DRS everywhere, using a more agressive qualifying setup and I also read on phil's article that the temperatures were never higher than mid teens, so that much lower temps also increased downforce quite a bit and that counts a lot on a track like Barcelona I wonder what tyres the other cars used, though. |

It could indeed be a combination of a bit of everything... but still, 4 whole seconds... If the Merc's would do the same, how blimingly fast would they be then? |

Um if that pic of the Merc is real, please please don't run it. These cars are ugly enough as they are. I think the looks of the car are more of an issue than the noise. ------------------------ Oh dear God. I just saw a photo of it on F1 live. Its even worse than I'd imagined. Won't some one think of the children! |

So this is apparently the megaphone exhaust in action. Interesting.   |

This video is quite useless since he unfortunately stopped recording before another car without the vuvuzela exhaust came along... I'd love to hear it in comparison |
