Re: 2016 Formula 1 Season Thread

Second day of testing, if the testing times are anything to go by then it looks like Ferrari are a threat to Mercedes dominance in past seasons, and i think this is a good thing for the sport and will sure make it more interesting!

Vettel 1:22.810 (126 laps)

Ricciardo 1:23.525 (112)

Perez 1:23.650 (101)

Rosberg 1:24.867 (172)

Ericsson 1:25.237 (108)

Gutierrez 1:25.534 (79)

Bottas 1:25.648 (134)

Wehrlein 1:25.925 (71)

Alonso 1:26.082 (119)

Palmer 1:26.189 (42)

Verstappen 1:26.539 (121)

Testing figures are not anything to go by. Until they are qualifying or racing you have no idea as to setup, fuel load..etc..

For example take day #1 of Barcelona's testing last year



**FASTEST TIMES

P Driver Team Time
1 *Pastor Maldonado Lotus *1m25.011s
2 *Kimi Raikkonen Ferrari *1m25.167s**+0.156
3 *Daniel Ricciardo Red Bull *1m25.547s**+0.536
4 *Sergio Perez Force India *1m26.636s**+1.625
5 *Felipe Nasr Sauber *1m27.307s**+2.296
6 *Max Verstappen Toro Rosso *1m27.900s**+2.889
7 *Jenson Button McLaren *1m28.182s**+3.171
8 *Pascal Wehrlein Force India *1m28.329s**+3.318

Re: 2016 Formula 1 Season Thread

Another thing to note is that Mercedes were on medium tyres and the two fastest were the only two drivers to try out the new ultra soft tyres again skewing the times.

Until they do the first full qualy sessions we'll not have a clue as to comparisons.

Re: 2016 Formula 1 Season Thread

Possible new qualifying format for the 2016 season.

Quote:
Q1 will last for 16 minutes

The slowest driver is eliminated after seven minutes

Then one will go every 90 seconds until seven drivers are out

Q2 will last for 15 minutes

The slowest driver will be eliminated after six minutes

Then one will go every 90 seconds until the end of the session

That leaves eight drivers in final qualifying.

Q3 will last for 14 minutes

The slowest driver will be eliminated after five minutes

Then one will go every 90 seconds until there are two drivers left

There will then be a final 90-second shoot-out for pole position
2017 also sees some large changes, with wider cars and driver head protection, details in the link.

Re: 2016 Formula 1 Season Thread

The 90 secong rule is pathetic especially as some laps at more than that so qualifying will vary depending on track

Re: 2016 Formula 1 Season Thread

Not sure if this solves that problem.

It is worth noting that the final elimination in each session occurs when the relevant drivers pass the chequered flag, not when time is up.

But that means that one place may be resolved without anyone passing the flag or within a time when someone else may have passed the flag

It'll really get confusing

I can understand using this ruling when there are 20+ cars on the track but not for the last 10

Not sure about that, the traffic in the first slot will be manic. Imagine the traffic at Monaco. I know there is the "what goes round comes round" rule and most will try to get out of the way but I can imaging some hot laps being blocked. Hope it doesn't end up in the stewards room.
