11:28 – In the first two races of this season, Mercedes had the upper hand, but in China the team seems to have a tough one to Ferrari. In the second free practice were Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel on supersofts faster than both Mercedes drivers. But also to the other compounds the Ferraris went hard at the Shanghai International Circuit, finds Mercedes-director Paddy Lowe.
“The differences with Ferrari are very small,” Lowe concluded after the first day of the race weekend China. “Both on one lap and during long runs on different tire compounds. So we can prepare ourselves for an exciting weekend.” The same thinking Nico Rosberg, winner of the first two Grands Prix this season. He was in the morning, during the first free practice, fastest man. “It seems that we be here soon, but in the second session, we saw that the same is true for Ferrari. They were very fast, so we need to keep them absolutely an eye and have tonight to do some homework.”
both courses Rosberg was faster than team-mate Lewis Hamilton. The world did not seem to sit in his skin and shot as many as three times off the track, twice in the same turn. “But it was not a bad day,” he says. “In the morning I did not feel comfortable in the car, but at lunch the team has changed a number of things. The second session was a lot better.”
