As I surmised earlier, I think both Ferrari and McLaren will take another jump forward in race pace while any gains RB may make will be somewhat lesser.spankyham wrote:At Valencia, the equation changes quite a bit with the engine mapping changes in parc fermé banned. Thus, it could be considered another track not well suited to Red Bull - this could be the case for all races still to come until AN has pulled out another rabbit from his seemingly bottomless hat of tricks. Hence, it's going to be interesting to see what happens, but again, it won't be the last word. The next major change will come in Silverstone and from then on we can hopefully enjoy watching the engineering chess game of development to the last race of the season w/o FIA's heavy-handed impact.darwin dali wrote:I'd be much more careful with statements to the effect of McLaren and Ferrari getting faster every race compared to Red Bull after a couple of races whose characteristics didn't suit Red Bull.It's a very valid point, and you're right that it needs to be factored in. It is only my opinion in the end, but, I think Valencia will show us a lot. It is a track far more suited to Red Bull and it is before the complete overrun ban comes into place at Silverstone.
I'm just saying...
I guess we shall see.

So perhaps we'll see Vettel start with his qually engine mapping and pull away to 30 second lead by the end of lap two, and then Red Bull will turn down his engine!30 second lead within 2 laps?and no the teams cannot change engine mapping from the garage, the drivers can alter their fuel air ratio in car but engine mapping is done via the ecu by an outside computer.

So right. Practice is on now but I usually get bored with it, qualifying is when I start to get randy. vaptin wrote:They've painted the walls (barriers) light blue this year, looks a lot nicer. I can stare at that now if the race is boring. Someone will probably tell me its always been blue now.They were blue last year, as you can see with this clip of Mark Webber's infamous crash;
