Official times for Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc’s second Pirelli test have been revealed 👀

Leclerc was the fastest with a best time of 1:14.971 (74 laps).
McLaren’s Oscar Piastri set a lap time of 1:15.815 (74 laps)
Hamilton’s best time was 1:16.759 (152 laps).

Still just a test. Too many unknowns like air temp, track temp and fuel loads to name a few. But information none the less

Nearly 2 seconds faster than LEW, certainly a change from the first test but still the times count for the '25 tyres.

As I said : LEW has no chance vs Charlie (!)

LEW's times in his Benz Starship Enterprise are lost in time ...

What do you think about fitting that 'Tiger 2' with Akra exhausts, would sound deadly no?

Yeah an Akra exhaust would sound awesome in the Tiger 2 with the 12 cylinder HL 230 PB30 Maybach-motor and 700 HP (!)

At nearly 70 tons it may need a tune to go higher that 25mph, it's a petrol engine !

Ferrari SF-25 on the dynamic benches: positive feedback on suspensions:
— Ferrari has completed initial testing of the SF-25’s suspension system, with positive results from the “seven post rig” evaluation. This test replicates real track conditions, helping engineers analyze the car’s behavior over bumps and imperfections.
— Early reports indicate that the suspension changes have been successful, aligning with simulator data.
“According to the first news received by our editorial staff, the examinations relating to the operation of the suspensions have been successful (more will come). This is a crucial aspect to understand in detail the dynamics of the single-seater, especially in relation to the suspension schemes adopted.”
— While further validation is needed on track, initial signs suggest Ferrari’s approach is on the right path.
“And although this scenario will have to find further feedback, even on the track, the road is the right one.”
— The SF-25 will be officially presented on February 19, followed by a shakedown at Fiorano before pre-season testing begins in Bahrain on February 26.

With the new pull front and kept push rear Charlie will have to get used to it in spite of the promising tests and LEW has been using 'RB' set up with Merc as already stated.
