So it was a little puzzling for the team to observe that it couldn’t claw back through the corners the 0.7sec the Ferrari was taking from them on the straights.

This was aerodynamically compromising, but not to the extent that it should have overshadowed the upgrade itself, which comprised new front wing, bargeboards, sidepods (with a slightly outward orientation of the radiator inlets) and rear wing endplate. So on went the extreme package, made possible by the upgrade. The weather on Friday was extreme, with an ambient in the low forties (and a track that ran as hot as 56 deg C for a time). Mercedes had arrived here with a massive aero upgrade (worth 0.5sec in the tunnel) – but also two cooling packages, standard and extreme. Sebastian Vettel’s demeanour sums up Ferrari’s disastrous qualifying Photo: Motorsport ImagesĪlthough Hamilton could add this to the presents already received from the Scuderia at Bahrain, Baku and Montreal, he turned in a quite brilliant lap on his first Q3 run to convert that present into his 87 th career pole, his fourth of the season. The end result was another Ferrari opportunity squandered.
Leclerc’s problem that left him sitting out Q3 was quite different but possibly from a common cause as the latest developments around lowered inlet charge temperatures and appropriate fuel possibly created new strains. Vettel could hear the hiss of escaping air and feel the drastic lack of power as soon as he took to the track in Q1. Ferrari’s mechanical failures in qualifying (a turbo pipe for Sebastian Vettel on his Q1 out-lap, a fuel pump failure for Charles Leclerc that prevented him doing a lap in Q3) meant the likely two fastest cars were not around to contest pole.

In a transposed glory/disaster contrast from last year, Lewis Hamilton looked unstoppable early on before a series of disasters dropped him almost to the backĪs if the narrative needed any more flourishes, it got one post-race when both Alfas were penalised out of the top 10 – giving an historic point to the Williams of Robert Kubica. An inspired call for slicks at precisely the right moment – hats off to Toro Rosso and Racing Point for making it and to Daniil Kvyat and Lance Stroll, respectively third and fourth, for maximising it.Īfter Verstappen and his second Red Bull-Honda win in three races, came a quite sensational Sebastian Vettel from last on the grid after not having recorded a time in qualifying. Three times Max Verstappen led a safety car queue, so many times it was an easy routine for him by the end. Especially those of Mercedes having a 125-year celebration that ended up more of a costume drama wake. Pressing or not pressing, trying to keep the thread of your race going without getting onto the final corner run-off skating rink – for that was the graveyard of hopes and dreams. The game launches on 10 July – which at the moment, looks like it’ll roughly coincide with the start of the actual season.A hazy, crazy, race where five pitstops were the norm guessing and second guessing. *also available with the Schumacher Deluxe And yes, the in-game season will run as it was originally planned to before the spate of cancellations and postponements.Ĭelebrate the Seventieth Anniversary of F1® with a set of exclusive in-game items!* There’ll also be the option to do a 10 or 16-race season if the prospect of 22 weekends is a bit daunting. Other features include the return of split-screen mode so you can actually race against friends and family at home, as well a more customisable career mode. Four of his cars will be included – the Jordan 191 he debuted with in 1991, his two title-winning Benettons from 19, and the Ferrari F1-2000 he used to win his first title for the Scuderia. The deluxe edition will see the return of classic content, this time with a Michael Schumacher theme. In other words, in addition to the 10 real-life teams, you’ll be able to create, manage, and race for an additional 11th team. Launching on 10 July, F1 2020 will include a feature Codemasters calls ‘My Team’. The addition of the Formula 2 mode and the ability for AI drivers to change teams really helped add some depth to the single-player experience on F1 2019, and it seems F1 2020 will take that theory even further.
