Red bull also had a non-existent rear wing in Belgium, not like them to reduce down force.

Didn't hurt Ricciardo much. At least we now know that it's been a problem with Vettel's chassis all along. I'm glad they got that sorted.

That is awfully close to record speed. Image

That's 370.149 kph. Guess my projection was in the ball park.

I hadn't seen your post wen I made my prediction, otherwise I would have given you at least 3 or 4 Kph breathing room. If you'd like I'll change mine to 375. :blush:

Actually, when rounding 370.149 gets rounded down to 370, not up to 371!!
In fact, that's the case regardless of which digit/place value you round to!!

So you got it right, and now WB doesn't have to change his prediction!! :wavey:

The teams think 370k is defiantly there abouts,
my tip, just to be different, lets say 369k

Well...

Last years top speed was like 340~ish and if you look at Canada this year they were 20-25kph faster than last year... so I'm going to say 375kph

I suppose with the amount of down force even a slight change in tyre pressure would make a bit of difference at that speed.

I bet we will see Ferrari with the highest top speed in FP followed by some quali slipstreaming formation with Kimi tasked with giving Alonso a tow, except he forgets what to do and out qualifies Alonso "by mistake"
