This looked to be the W13's main weakness yesterday, perhaps combined with a continued dislike for the slower speed stuff. At all the starts (even the first one) and the pit stop, the car looked very sluggish through Farm and Chapel and left Hamilton exposed on the Wellington straight, but was better after a few laps.e30ernest wrote: ↑04 Jul 2022, 07:14I think both examples weren't really due to drag at all but due to traction. On both instances where this happened, it was early after a restart when the tires were cold. It appears the W13 in Silverstone at least had issues with tire warm-up. On the up-side, it looked to be very kind on its tires (allowing Lewis to stay out that long on the first stint).
I believe this is OT to the car thread though. Sorry if this is the case.
His medium stint was incredible.
