2020 Spanish GP - morini - 10-08-2020

Another shock results on the cards or normal service resumed?


RE: 2020 Spanish GP - PapaofGags - 10-08-2020

As Max pointed out in your Benson post with harder tyres the pendulum may switch back to Mercedes, though "If" its hot the tyre/Merc Voodoo may reappear... 

So summing up, I've no idea!

Do we know what compounds Pirelli have brought for this weekend and what PSI has been mandated? I swear the lack of info is getting worse season after season. We haven't even been given tyre allocation yet have we? Any way, Pirelli normally go conservative on tyre choice in the next 3 races (Barce, Spa and Monza) so I do expect normalish service to be resumed.

Verstappen said in that interview (posted by one of you guys in another thread, don't remember who or where) that they go back to the harder ones again.

Yeah I heard Max say the same Anti.   

(Found this on Wiki) 

The C1, C2 and C3 tyre compounds will be made available for teams to use by Pirelli the same compounds used at this race in 2019


RE: 2020 Spanish GP - Jody Barton - 10-08-2020

Then if that is the case and we have the thicker Spanish tread and lower PSI we usually have, I see Mercedes disappearing up the road. The RBR hates the thicker tread historically and does not do well on harder compounds.

Sebastian Vettel will be getting a new chassis at the Spanish Grand Prix this weekend, in order to rule out a technical problem with his SF1000.

If he still is way behind CLC after that swap then he will need a very good excuse indeed.

I doubt he'll GAF about excuses to be honest. What's he earning this year? £15 million isn't it? Probably work out at a million per race (maybe more, we dont know yet). Not a bad return for schlepping around out of the points Wink

Williams will run Roy Nissany in first practice this weekend, with the Israeli driver taking the wheel of George Russell’s FW43.

Williams reserve driver Roy Nissany’s road to F1 will take a giant leap forward in Barcelona, when he’s let loose in the team’s FW43 for his maiden Free Practice 1 appearance at the Spanish Grand Prix.

Nissany only joined Williams in January this year, ahead of his return to Formula 2 with Italian outfit Trident, after a near 12-month break from full-time racing.
