Max Mosley 2 Report post Posted April 17, 2009 My friend Heikki was 4th in FP1 without the new front wing or diffuser. Wonder if they had any other changes on the car? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monza gorilla 1 Report post Posted April 17, 2009 I assume there's lots of tinkering going on. Maybe they gave him a bit more travel on the throttle pedal. You know, like amps that go up to 11. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elgo 1 Report post Posted April 17, 2009 I thnik Sutil was fastest in FP2, until the other cars went out. I usually watch FP on a prerecorded broadcast and it has like a scroll to fast forward and select the bits where something actually happens,and you get a comment below the video whenever something happens. I'm really used to reading: 'Sutil offtrack again' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quiet One 15 Report post Posted April 17, 2009 Nando only managed to be faster than one of the Force Indias yet he said that he is "optimistic" about the qualy and race. What did they do to him??????? That's not like Alosno at all! Did they beat him on the head with a cricket bat? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HandyNZL 1 Report post Posted April 17, 2009 Hamilton only did 2 laps on the super softs, then pitted - maybe something up? Everyone above him was on super softs to set those times - he did not improve his hard tyre time...there seems to be 0.7secs per lap time diff in the two tyres, but they seemed to crap out in 3-4 laps, depending on the car. I don't think Alonso went out on the softs at all. The teams are very much treating friday as a test session it seems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max Mosley 2 Report post Posted April 17, 2009 Interesting info there, Handy. And Nando has some new parts coming for tomorrow. I believe the new diffuser etc are being d Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HandyNZL 1 Report post Posted April 17, 2009 Ooops...looks like hamilton did quite a few laps on the softs....most of which were not on the telly. Looks like the macca is not too good on softs, but maybe competitive on the prime tyres. I guess the miss-matched tyre idea is actually quite a spicy one.

HandyNZL 1 Report post Posted April 18, 2009 Vindicates Lewis, no? All we need now is someone else to crash into someone parked at the end of the pitlane waiting on a green light, and then certain people will recognise that f-ups happen. Alonso has new diffuser, so will be interesting to see how far adrift PK is now!! And Kovi has chosen not to run new front wing, but does have the same diffuser as Hamilton.
