VER was getting 1s a lap towards the end of his first stint, Perez as well ran out of tyres on both stints. This race was dominant for Ferrari more because RBR was in trouble IMHO. Pace difference from W13 is still there.Mchamilton wrote: ↑10 Apr 2022, 08:50
Is it looking better compared to ferrari though or were red bull just worse in this race? Must have been close to 1 second a lap to Charles after the safety car
yes, night races seems to be the thing now. glittering night light adding to the "glitz and glamour" bestowed upon the "spectacle" know as F1bonjon1979 wrote: ↑10 Apr 2022, 12:07Track temps have been pretty low at races so far, I wonder if merc might fair better once we get to hotter tracks in the summer
Maybe they would, but we should wait if mclaren really improved that much or melbourne was better for their car.

Just look at how much the Ferrari proposes, yet they have the fastest car on the grid.
Its not about porpoising , its the whole concept of their car.Mchamilton wrote: ↑01 Apr 2022, 17:14How can it be correlation problems when porpoising cant be recreated in cfd or the wind tunnel?
For me even in the last race, Lewis was doing very well with the hard compound tyre before Mister Latifi crashed again. The W13 is very good on that tyre, they will probably go for less stops strategy in many races, but this can also be a consequence of their car's problem.mclaren_mircea wrote: ↑10 Apr 2022, 10:38Was is just my impression or the W13 had the best tyre degradation today from all the cars? At least on par with Leclerc and better than everyone else. What do you think?
I can see them getting nose to nose with Red Bull, but I think Ferrari will be way don the road by the time (if) they are ready to take them on.
I believe Merc had a planned Barcelona upgrade working, but upon having the current troubles, several parts would be expedited to fix these issues. It would make sense to see a small, but big-bang update at Imola (priority 1's) with further small updates in Miami (priority 2's) and then the rest in Barcelona (priority 3's) I feel that it really depends on if/when they found the solution in the problem/fix cycle.mclaren_mircea wrote: ↑10 Apr 2022, 18:25What about Imola? I found very different reports about posible upgrades? Most of them are saying that at Imola we will see the first bites of an upgrade package that will come in steps until Barcelona. But another one is terrifying. That they wont have updates at all not just at Imola but neither at the next couple of races until they will understand the porpoising. I know that it may be confussing with the wings, but some sort of new floor should definately come. Worse it cant be. A new floor has to be the first step of solving this damn bouncing.
