It's possible that the circuit has gone away from RB with the extra rubber going down. Verstappen was really out on his own in the GP qualifying on Friday. So comfortable that even 1 used tire run was good enough to get into Q3.Juzh wrote: ↑08 Oct 2023, 01:48I dont see where mercedes can pull from those 3-4 tenths they lacked in quali on friday and in general this year.
I had a look at hamilton's onboard and interestingly he was doing no management whatsoever and his pace was getting better, yet all we're hearing from RB to max is to keep doing management all the time. confusing
Maybe deg can give merc some edge for once.
Today Mclaren was basically ahead over 1 lap and arguably in the race while RB was killing the front tires. Maybe there are tire pressures and diff settings that they can play with.
