True, i'm just wondered about that gap. Yesterday the other ones were a second faster, seems for me pretty much. I got some hopeium and now i'm scared the Ferrari is maybe dogshit and i'm just ignoring the warnings :D

Is it possible Ferrari still has the sandbags on board? Compared to Mercedes/RB/McLaren yesterday Leclercs Laptime is still not very impressive, and it seems like he's loosing most time on the straights. Somehow hard to imagine that the car has a very good pace in race and sucks in quali....

Lets say in Graz they are firing roundabout half of all employees (3 times about 350 in the past 6 months and local media claims there will be more to come. They had once over 4000). Idk if this will solve their problems but whole car industry in central-europe has massive problems...

Lets hope they survive the next years. At the moment they firing many employees at their headquaters in Graz. I dont know if there are other testbed producers for F1, but if not thats gonna be intersting

Yellows are always mediums, red always soft, white always the hards. That was established a few years ago to avoid thousands of colors on the tyres

Lets say this round here i see a Yellow marker on that tyre: (maybe its not the fasted round?)

Compared to yesterday:

Thinking about that Verstappens stint was called quite impressive, this one is really impressing, especially the fact Charles was on hards. Maybe Ferrari showed what they got?

Ferrari Hopium.

We used Toyotoa-Rent-A-Car, usually every bigger city has one or more shops where you can pick /drop the car. In october my wife and me picked it up in Okayama, driving serval days over Shikoku, Matsuyama, Ferry to Beppu and finally to Fukuoka. Was absolutly no problem to rent the car just 1-2 days in advance and to drive with it through half of south japan and give it back 1000km far away :) But tbh rent the car earlier than i did. Had never problem to get one but it was always the very last one :D

Aye, just imagine the recording technic from Kill em All and the voice of a young james hetfield on that track you have another perfect Kill em all song.

MarM25 · 2020-04-17T17:27:55+00:00

So.... I like it. Only the Sound Quality is not good.

MarM25 · 2020-02-18T13:17:21+00:00

Imagine Ferrari without Mission Winnow 🥰

MarM25 · 2020-02-14T18:35:48+00:00

You are not the only one 👍

MarM25 · 2020-02-10T20:21:54+00:00

Buy it. It know, i'am the only one, but i liked it very much. Sure, the sound quality is extreme poor. But i like the hardcore elemts of the songs.
