Re: 2019 Spanish Grand Prix Race Thread
Leclerc has dropped him very quickly. Fastest in S1 where Vettel dominated yesterday, so I'm inclined to think that flat spot is wrecking Vettel's afternoon Vettel should just pit now. Ferrari have nothing to lose on Vettel's care now. Yes he's just losing time and falling into Gasly's clutches. Mu...

Re: 2019 Spanish Grand Prix Race Thread
It does look like Vettel is losing ground. Possibly due to the flat spot but whatever the reason Max is getting away from them. Would make sense for Vettel to move overpokerman wrote:If the roles were reversed Leclerc would have to move out of the way.

Re: 2019 Mercedes vs. Ferrari vs. Red bull
At this stage, I think we have to acknowledge that Ferrari, overall, seem less competitive with Mercedes this year than they were in either 2017 or 2018. Ferrari have had one weekend (Bahrain) where they were clearly best of the best but Mercedes have clearly had the edge in 4 of the 5 rounds. I ca...

Re: When will Ferrari ACTUALLY have the advantage?
0.8 secs is pretty shocking gap. Ferrari are looking worse than previous years. Monaco they will do well to even get podium? Canada could suit Ferrari. You're not too far off there. Vettel only improved on last year's time by less than a tenth. Contrast with Bottas who improved by 8 tenths. Mind yo...

Verstappen is an animal of a driver. The driver of 2019 so far and the fastest out there right now IMO. In other news is Leclerc being a bit overblown?
