Kamikaze Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Complete shambles at Sauber, never ran at all in practice one now it looks as if their assets will be seized. Manor nowhere to be seen either, these early races are always good for this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamikaze Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Toro Rosso look impressive (with Sainz finishing fourth in p1) had a pop on both drivers each way (3places) to finish best without Mercedes @400/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Mercedes lock out the front row (Hamilon pole), Massa 3rd, Vettel 4th, Raikkonen 5th, Bottas 6th, Ricciardo 7th, McLaren's 17th and 18th, Button beating Magnussen at the back.

CumbrianRam Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Manor failed to qualify, Bottas unfit to race, Magnussen and Kvyat stopped on lap to dummy grid. 15 car grid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenportram Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Maclaren got an extra testout of that. Reckon they will have upped the power for a short time when Button was defending against Perez early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Looked good in the fast corners, Perez couldn't keep up in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duracell Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 The McLaren clearly has a tonne of down force, just a shame about that absolute donkey in the back.Mercedes aren't only faster than everyone else - they seem to be the only team with their house in order. Red Bull might have spent two engines and a gearbox in the first race, Williams still can't get their pit-stop strategies right, Sauber have the bailiffs breathing down their neck, Lotus did about 4 racing laps between two cars and McLaren and Manor we needn't say more.It's very amateurish at the minute.

Animal is a Ram Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Christian Horner can do one, moaning about the engines. Red Bull are a shadow to Mercedes, Ferrari, possibly even Williams and somehow its the FIA's fault - "Is it healthy to have this? The FIA have an equalisation mechanism within the rules," Horner had said. "They perhaps need to look at it."[Toto] Wolff [Mercedes boss], whose team won 16 of the 19 races last year, responded to the claim by saying: "If you come into F1 and you try to beat each other or perform at the highest level and equalisation is what you need after the first race and you cry out after the first race, it is not how we have done things in the past and not how we have moaned."

Duracell Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 is it really a donkey or is it just at 30% power? (that was a figure I saw somewhere) I think once they get confident through longer running and turn the engine up there will be a jump in performance. They are at least a year behind in development.
