Well, surprise, surprise!!

 

Mercs opened up a bit, FINALLY.

Allowing for tyres used, they're BOTH at least an equivalent of 1 second per lap faster than the 2nd fastest - Williams.

The other surprise - perhaps not - was Nico was 0.2" faster than Lewis.

OK, not the same day, nor conditions ... is this another sign???

Might even see some new lap records - that's what it's about as well!!

 

Haven't seen an average race speed >240 km/h at Monza for a few years.

Put some modern tyres/technology on one of them like old cars wiv loads of power...yo. :)

 

The fact that this or that season/regulations produced faster or slower avg/top speed or lap times means nothing to me....close racing within the parameters is my choice.

 

Once the flag drops the bs stops!

 

Just a few days now.

New Series of 5th Gear starting this week on History Channel - 529 Sky - Thursday.

 

Disagree - records are there for one reason - to be beaten!

Close racing is great, but when GP2's within 2-3 seconds, its not on .... for a fraction of the budget.

 

Must see more records.

 

Would be nice with one of the last Honda 1000 bhp powerhouses on latest rubber ...

 

Always hate it that when there's a demo of an F1, they pull out an old V10 or V8, as if ashamed of the latest V6's ..

Must admit, they're sounding better this year ... must be withdrawal symptoms!

 

F1's always been like a rock concert - you know its wrong, but its got to be unbearably loud to be right!!

Last year was the first year of the V6's, so they weren't allowed as it was deemed part of testing. It was mentioned at Goodwood FOS that they had to use last years cars dressed up as the current cars for this reason
