It was an older one (Also, I can't see how this is a loophole, he's still using one of the 5 engines)https://twitter.com/tgruener/status/512942351858151425 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's gonna be very close. If they did 1:50's every lap for the entire race then that would be about 1 hour 50 minutes I believe. Then you have a couple of pit stops which should add another 45 seconds? Plus it's very likely there'll be a safety car, so it should be right on the limit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't remember how long the SC was out for last year, but even with the V8s and the super Red Bull Vettel's time was 1:59:13.132. Add on a couple of minutes for the slower cars and we'll lose two or three laps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
