    Looks as though there'll be a protest on the Mercs from the competition.

    RB & Renault met with Charlie about MB's car (rear wing). Charlie said that it is still legal in his opinion so RB & Renault are threatening to protest the result

    Interesting tweet

    MrSteveMatchett I understand that the FIA has advised aero departments that 'driver cooling' slots in the nose are to be used entirely for that purpose.

    Interesting - two implications from that; first, that Mercedes is diverting the nose vent airflow to stall the front wing, controlled somehow by the port uncovered during DRS activation; and second, RB's Newey was deliberately coy when asked about the RB vent on the nose hump at the car's intro, and said the vent was "mostly" for driver cooling, and the suspicion was that RB was doing something else with some of that hump vent airflow - the implication of the FIA advisement being that RB was indeed doing something else.

    Seems MS showed a tad too much potential in P2. Brings to mind Bernie forcing Niki to qualify with full tanks in the fan car......;)

    I'm not suggesting the Ferrari is an easy car to handle, but do you think we should start counting these Massa pirouettes? :D

    W03 indeed showing that massive top speed advantage, but if I had to guess, I would say their braking stability is being compromised as all those ducts may take their time reattaching airflow.
