You're way too late to the party. Have you stopped watching after the first 3 races?
Unfortunately when the likes of Button/Hill/Ted are still pedalling this narrative on the broadcasts and official podcasts people will believe it
You obviously are not aware that Sainz had the highest Topspeed on a straight at Silverstone...
Was that sledge really necessary?
Honestly, no I'm not aware; From reading the Speed Trap data from the British Grand Prix, Sainz was actually at the bottom at 315km/h whilst Perez (fastest) was 332.6km/h, Max 4th at 328.9km/h. Charles 9th at 326.3km/h...
Didn't they bring an update to the floor to match the wing?f300v10 wrote: ↑08 Jul 2022, 21:25At this point it is clear that most if not all of Red Bulls early season top speed advantage over the F1-75 was down to the rear wing design(s) of the Ferrari having higher drag, especially when DRS was deployed. With the design introduced in Canada there is very little difference is top speeds between the two cars. A clear indication of this can be found in the Austria Qualifying session data, where DRS was used consistently and little to no slipstreaming occurred to skew the numbers. Comparing the speed trap values of Max vs. Charles on their fastest Q3 laps shows there is very little to choose between them:
SpeedI1 SpeedI2 SpeedFL SpeedST
Max 316 247 285 316
CL 313 249 283 315
Last time the floor was updated was Barcelona.deadhead wrote: ↑08 Jul 2022, 21:59Didn't they bring an update to the floor to match the wing?f300v10 wrote: ↑08 Jul 2022, 21:25At this point it is clear that most if not all of Red Bulls early season top speed advantage over the F1-75 was down to the rear wing design(s) of the Ferrari having higher drag, especially when DRS was deployed.

Aren't Red Bull running higher angle of attack nowadays, though? And yet still have higher top speeds, if only just. All while not having the deficit in cornering that they had before.f300v10 wrote: ↑08 Jul 2022, 21:25At this point it is clear that most if not all of Red Bulls early season top speed advantage over the F1-75 was down to the rear wing design(s) of the Ferrari having higher drag, especially when DRS was deployed.
