in the first half of the season, RB was arriving on track quick out of the box. Since silverstone, Max has bemoaned understeer issues at a few of the tracks. Some speculate its the effect the RB is feeling from the new Pirelli's.Tvetovnato wrote: ↑08 Oct 2021, 11:15Hamilton looks like he is on rails from the onboards.. they seem to have found a great balance right away, no twitches in the slow corners even…

This is what I was thinking. But the Red Bull should be strong tomorrow just purely based on the fact that it activates its tyres better in cold - wet conditions.AeroDynamic wrote: ↑04 Oct 2021, 12:15
Wouldn’t the RB like the last corners in S3? I thought S2 was gonna be on for MCS with S1 and 3 for Red bull.
I would say Nope. These new rear tyrew have stiffer and more consistent sidewalls, which make it orders easier to understand in the wind tunnel. It's like moving from a floppy baseball bat to a rigid one, it's much easier to hit the ball.AeroDynamic wrote: ↑08 Oct 2021, 11:32in the first half of the season, RB was arriving on track quick out of the box.

a theory: The new tyres has created a correlation issue between the RB simulator, and what goes on out on track. Maybe thats why the RB is struggling with understeer initially. obviously they struggled the most to fix it at Hungary.
Low grip track. Like in Azer or Russia. Not surprising that they are strong.InsaneX_Badger wrote: ↑08 Oct 2021, 14:36Ferrari are looking good in FP2. Practice bluffing or actually in this weekend?
Well, Verstappen definitely doesn't sound happy with the balance.
engines (+engine modes, of course) may have an influence as well though, of course. Some are likely to be out on very old Friday engines today, while Ferrari and Hamilton are using the new ones.basti313 wrote: ↑08 Oct 2021, 14:42Low grip track. Like in Azer or Russia.
