It depends if these last races that were used as a test session have served their purpose and this improved pace from the car comes from a better understanding of it, or if they are still somewhat lost. Hopefully it's the former.
Recent updates starting from Canada has all been about dropping the drag and gaining efficency like the Red Bull (so fast in the straight line and fast in corners) This has'nt worked and experiments were done to make it work, it didn't. So for brazil after analysis they brought all the updated parts related to downforce (under floor from zandvoort upgrades and other bits from Asutin, the red bull esque drs effective wing and beam wing) and dropped all the drag reduction and flow conditioner upgrades (floor edge from austin for example and the streamlined udercut). The top speed dropped, but cornering speed, race speed, braking and traction came back and that is with minimum understanding of how mx and matching the parts would work). Expect the car to be even faster in race trim as they set-up the car even better with the mix match parts and expect them to just pile on downforce instead of worrying about straight line speed. Literally everyone following Aston Martin can see the direction they should be taking so pretty sure the team knows as well
I feel that Alonso drove the fastest lines for his car.KimiRai wrote: ↑05 Nov 2023, 20:28Compared to other drivers Fernando does a different line in turn 12, intentionally missing the apex as if he braked too late but he does it all the time and takes time off Perez there each lap, is there more grip on the outside?

He was asked by his race engineer to run more lift and coast into and easy on the throttle out of 12.AR3-GP wrote: ↑05 Nov 2023, 22:52I feel that Alonso drove the fastest lines for his car.KimiRai wrote: ↑05 Nov 2023, 20:28Compared to other drivers Fernando does a different line in turn 12, intentionally missing the apex as if he braked too late but he does it all the time and takes time off Perez there each lap, is there more grip on the outside?
