De ako ti nije teško napiši gde mogu da se informišem oko rasporeda trka, prenosa i downloada. Nisam pratio indy nikada, a probao bi ove godine da vidim privlači li me bar delimično kao f1.

KOd nas prenosi arena, ali su komentatori iritantni.

U evropi imaš prenose na nemačkom Sport1 US HD kanalu, ima ga na kodiju i modbrou, sa originalnim komentatorima http://www.sky.de/tvguide/sport1-us-hd-c162

[Aleksandar88]

Hvala Rene.

Šta napravi Bourdais, opaka pobeda. Sa poslednjeg!!! Honda prejaka

[Mr.Mxyzptlk]

jos jedna sezona za preskociti...

[Radoye]

Za Indi ako imas mogucnosti da pratis preko BT Sporta jer tamo nema reklama, ide americki prenos (ABC ili NBC, kako koja trka) ali u pauzi kada ovi imaju reklame nastavljaju sa svojim komentatorima iz studija.

I na Sport1US ne idu reklame kada idu u Americi

Inače, u kontinentalnoj evropi se ne može pratiti bt sport, jer su na britanskom snopu Astre 2, na žalost

[Radoye]

Pa dobro, ima nacina da se gleda preko neta ;)

[renne]

Ima, naravno, nego ja to kao sat entuzijasta da napomenem. Iskreno, prokleo sam dan kad su otišli na UK beam

Is Ferrari really ahead of Mercedes?

 

Single lap times in qualifying simulations during testing are smoke and mirrors; main rivals Mercedes are notorious for masking their one lap pace in testing and practice but then for pulling out stunning times on extreme engine modes for qualifying when it matters.

 

So is the Ferrari really a Mercedes-beater? Or is it all hype and conjecture?

 

 

Rather than single lap analysis, it is the study of the long run pace of the Ferrari that provides the real insight into how strong they truly are relative to their main rivals. And that also tells us the pecking order of the field as a whole after testing.

 

This is because the teams are obliged to run the maximum fuel load at the start of a race distance simulation and from that we can work out the underlying (fuel corrected) pace of the car. Mercedes could be running with the engine slightly turned down, (as could Ferrari) but even so, the numbers here say that Ferrari is ahead by 3/10ths on long run pace after the second test. So in all likelihood they are very close on pace in reality.

 

Red Bull has some work to do, as it trails Mercedes by an easily identifiable 4/10ths of a second per lap on long runs. Here is how it looks when the lap times from the best race sims for each team are plotted together.

 

A plot like this is exactly what the F1 engineers will be studying now as they assess the performance from testing.

 

 

In our race plots above (click to enlarge), you can see the relative pace of the cars in action. These are generated using the best long runs of each team during the tests (Key: Purple = Red Bull; Red = Ferrari; Green= Mercedes). We can see that Hamilton is the faster Mercedes driver, Verstappen heads his team mate at Red Bull, while Vettel had a faster race run than Raikkonen at Ferrari. The vertical axis is the lap time (faster times lower down on the plot). THe horizontal axis is the lap number in the stints and the race distance as a whole.

 

What is particularly interesting here is the parallel line between the Mercedes and Red Bull, using the same tyre order, that shows the Red Bull 4/10ths slower per lap. It’s harder to read across from Mercedes to Ferrari as they use a different tyre order; Vettel uses medium tyres in the final stint and softs at the start, where he is extremely quick.

 

Nevertheless, this is the plot that teams will be looking at when they tell you that Ferrari really was the fastest car in testing, whatever games were going on over single lap qualifying pace.

 

Worth noting here is that the Red Bull doesn’t look great in the middle stint on medium tyres. However the Red Bull is on Mercedes pace in the final stint on softs. Considering some of the comments from Daniel Ricciardo it is possible that this is because they are generally a bit on the knife edge with balance. If we are reading this correctly it is something they will be working hard to rectify before Melbourne, where they are expected to bring a revised aero package.

There is real encouragement again for Ferrari as the car seems to work well on all the tyre compounds available this year. In recent years they have been weaker on the medium and harder tyres than Mercedes. That seems not to be the case any longer.

Navodno, Mercedes na ovim testovima nije ni u jednom momentu isao preko 70% mogucnosti motora. Dakle, oni definitivno mogu mnogo brze.

 

Pitanje je sta je Ferari radio i koliko oni imaju u rezervi u odnosu na to sto su pokazali na testovima.

[Jimmy Kowalski]

Na testovima u principu niko odvrce motor do kraja. Za Ferrari nisam video da li se spominju neki procenti, ali recimo interesantan je podatak da su kompletne testove (4450km ili 5-6 trkackih vikenda) obavili sa samo jednim motorom. To osim sto govori o pouzdanosti, sugerise i da nisu maksimalno forsirali..

[Radoye]

Pa toliko ce morati da predju motori tokom sezone svakako - samo 4 motora imaju timovi na raspolaganju od ove godine.

 

(Sa druge strane, najduzi stint koji je Honda izvukla bez da crkne je bio 11 krugova...)
