Not sure what you mean? Leclerc had the new floor in both FPs. FP1 was for aero test pretty much.

Ahhh, makes sense. I thought I misread a quote by Carlos that Charles had it in FP1 while He did for FP2. I assumed each had them independently. Thanks for the clarification.SoulPancake13 wrote: ↑22 Sep 2023, 14:44Not sure what you mean? Leclerc had the new floor in both FPs. FP1 was for aero test pretty much.
https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/arti ... hoKw8.htmlAsked how he felt with the car by the end of play on Friday, Leclerc replied: “Today was a little bit better. The last two or three races I struggled a little bit with the balance of the car.
“Today I changed a little bit my driving style, went with the car a bit in my direction too and it feels like the feeling is better. Obviously its only one day, so we need to keep pushing, and hopefully do another step forward tomorrow.”
We can call it either adaptation or compromise, but figuring out how the drive the car you have been given is always the best approach. Nothing is ever ideal in F1.
I don’t think it’s quite as far off Max as this shows, based at the lap by lap and what you can infer (eg big improvement on last lap before in lap vs penultimate lap) - still clearly a ways away, maybe about half a second. Being faster than the others is very positive on a track like this - that ought to expose Ferrari’s tyre management issues - and the one lap pace is better than I expected.
