Ladies and Gentlemen,
Let’s get ready for a double shot of F1 racing. We are going to China this weekend and then Bahrain the following week.
The best news we had in a long time was the defeat of the all-mighty Mercedes by Ferrari in the second round of the Championship. But let’s get not too excited, the W06 is still a faster car than the SF15T and with the expected lower temperatures in Shanghai and the softer compounds chosen by Pirelli we most likely will see another dominant show by the silver cars. But Ferrari’s renaissance is for real, their engine is definitely the most improved from last year, you just have to look at the partial times in sectors 1 & 2 from Sepang where Ferrari was consistently quickest in the long straights that required sheer horsepower. Mercedes came on top thanks to its better downforce in the corners of sector 3 but the message was clear: the ...

Ferrari’s new SF15-T is the real deal, RAI was able to sneak between Lewis and Nico at the top of the timesheets. ROS was fastest in P1 when HAM had an engine problem and was sidelined for the session. Ferrari had its drivers in 2nd & 3rd about 3 tenths behind, same gap as in P2, a small difference considering the length of the lap times in Sepang (around ...
2015 Malaysia GP -Preview by Cato Batista, 26/03/2015 14:20:05 Ladies and Gentlemen, Is Formula 1 in crisis? As far as I remember it’s always in crisis, but this time the facts are worse than usual. The German GP has been canceled. Not too long ago the Germans had 2 races per year and even traveled to fill the grandstands in Hungary and Belgium. Last year the total attendance dropped 58,000, some venues have that number showing up forread more
