As usual, one can only guess on Friday, who will tomorrow lead the field. On the miraculous resurrection of Mercedes and Schumacher I do not think, however.
All teams in Spain with this update, but has done well in the most radical Mercedes. On the extension of the wheelbase has been already written a lot, but it came a new front wing and a completely redesigned rear cover. But this is only that, you could see. One thing is clear: we try to flow onto the rear wing can be better, so that the lack of downforce at the rear gets a grip. Logically, it takes as much if you change something under the car. The car has become so shallow that you can even grow up something needed to be able to comply with the FIA regulations. Apparently it has brought something.
After all, we saw both Mercedes all the time in the top 10, Schumacher was in two training sessions even in the Top 3 This is new, compared with before the race, and not a bad sign. The former world champions sent a press release of his team announced that he now feels much more comfortable in the car, which now acts as "constant". ("Today I felt much more comfortable in the car and feel that it is behaving more consistently.") This is sounding better and explain the times of Rosberg but not his good times. After got the half a second, which he aufgebrummt are not normal. Rosberg himself declared that he had hit the wrong key during setup. And I always thought the two would work together.
Whether the good result tomorrow will prevail? Hard to say. Firstly, it should rain tomorrow, what makes the matter back to a lottery, the other is just the question of whether McLaren and Renault have already placed the card on the table. Especially in Britain, I would imagine that the whole day were heavy on the go. Hamilton made long runs with abgelutschten, hard tires and it was not so slow. If you subtract the weight and adds about eight tenths quicker softer tires, the thing looks forward very different.
Red Bull will be hard to beat though. The minutes were 1.19.965 of Vettel already a word, but probably not exactly run with an empty tank. Experience has shown that between Friday and the quality still like a second. The Mercedes might be slower on a fast lap around seven-tenths, I believe it is realistic. In the race it will look different, but the quality will be expected to have. The question is just: what can the others?
Also listed as "also rans" Ferrari. What I do not like but which was the very turbulent ride of the car. Both Massa and Alonso slipped in the last part winding around and visibly struggling with a troubled hedge. May have a brimming tank located, but did not look confident you. Difficult to assess the Renault, but for now it looks like you have made a small step, as the rest of the top.
Further away from Williams looks bad. Hulkenberg semmelte his car out of bounds, Barrichello went today just a test program. According to PR Williams looked like this:
Runs P1: Run 1: New Prime (1 lap, install), Run 2: Used Prime (1 lap, aerodynamic evaluation), Run 3: Used Prime (7 laps, baseline set-up), Run 4: Used Prime (7 laps, mechanical set-up), Run 5: Used Prime (set-up 6 laps, race)
Runs P2: Run 1: New Prime (5 laps, tire evaluations), Run 2: Used Prime (3 laps set-up, test), Run 3: Used Prime (6 laps, set-up test), Run 4: New Option (5 laps, tire evaluations), Run 5: Used option (13 laps, race set-
up)
To which one has not even all the new parts on site. A small portion will not only be flown in overnight. Barrichello is confident that one is better off. How small are the expectations, but one can see the view of the team: It is hoped simply to survive Q3.
The rain was afraid to fail tomorrow, but the prediction is a bit shaky. What seems certain is that there Sunday will remain dry.
Note about the pictures, I would have liked a few pictures of the new Mercedes shown, but unfortunately nothing has been in the press online. When they are awake, I wear it to.
