Good to see Mick Schumacher use tactics to take the lead.
He has matured and Prima are on form so far.

No matter how slow Ferrari are, its not worth throwing money at a bogey championship. The situation isn't new to the team.

At the end of this season some teams may not even exist so spending big money on early upgrades aren't worth it.

Big update set for Hungary.

People were too eager to throw him under the bus last year. First season in F2 and people expected him to be fast straight out of the box. Some drivers take a bit time to get to grips with a new series.

@Icemanbrfc how's it going man?

Im feel slower than those Ferraris right now..

 

[Icemanbrfc]

Red cars matter

Red cars matter

Red cars matter most because they’re on each lap for longer

 

[powermzii]

It's quite possible that both Ferrari cars could be lapped tomorrow.... Didn't they lap up to P6 last Yr?

Well, unsurprisingly, the Pink Mercedes made the biggest gains when compared to 2019

 

[cr@zydude]

Gains/losses for Austria qualifying vs 2019 times:

Racing Point -0.921
Williams -0.737
Renault -0.493
McLaren -0.473
AlphaTauri -0.360
Mercedes -0.323s
Red Bull +0.038
Haas +0.619
Ferrari +0.920
Alfa Romeo +1.119

So, the Ferrari engine is useless?

Not at all, it is performing just the way I like it and look on the bright side, at least it is legal now.

What time does the race end? And don't say when the lights go out or at the first Corner

Look at the attached, you'll see the race pace of the 3 Ferrari powered teams based on f1.coms analysis is still quite decent. So based on that, it's quite clear the ferrari engine no longer has its quali "party mode"

we haven't had a race yet tho, so how do they know?

 

[Icemanbrfc]

I think Ferrari will turn on super, hyper speed engine mode today

f1tv worked great yesterday with firefox, kodi plugin started working again after the quali was over. prefer kodi as video playback is super smooth where the browser has a bit of a stutter.

Sky Sports F1 Race Coverage ends at 5:00 PM followed by the post race show until 6:00 PM and them Ted's Notebook until 6:30 PM.
That is the TV coverage but the Race only ends when the points are awarded which is after all the stewards meetings and appeals which with social distancing and video conferencing could take a few days

Wonder if Ferrari somehow changes tactics today, not that they have a choice with no speed, but just wondering if they somehow throw a few surprises. Only issue is that Vettel is basically racing for himself, and any tactics or him listening is never going to happen.
