2024 Pre-Season Testing - Bahrain International Circuit, Feb 21 - 23

Leclercs 2. Stint is crazy fast.

I believe Leclerc's stint 1 was a simulation of race stint 2. and this is a simulation of race stint 3. COuld be wrong but Leclerc's current laptimes make no sense for stint 2

No, he's just on a race sim, with less fuel now...

IF this is true then Leclerc is 1-1.5 sec faster per lap than Sainz's race sim yesterday. Seems not possible to me

Just noticed Lec is on C1: is the C1 this much better than C2

How can you tell C1 vs C2?

C1 has no banding, C2 has banding

oh, that makes sense. Live timing is just showing red, yellow, and gray

This will raise some eyebrows if there’s a third stint.

He'll have to go to a C2 tyre for final stint which judging by general laptimes is significantly slower than the C1

Yeah, harder compounds are ridiculously good around here.

why "have"?

damn it .. yellow flag spoiling the party

Why C2? He started on C3

Teams usually try all three compounds

[Schippke]

Comparing Sainz 2nd stint (C2) to Charles 2nd stint currently (suspected C1), Charles is 1 second quicker on average a lap; All of Sainz laps on the 2nd stint were in between 37.1-37.5... Charles Laps are all in the low 36's, and just did a 36.0.

... was the C1 1 second faster on average than the C2 on a stint?

That being said, into the thick of the night now, car is more dialled in as is the track, so could be more to answer to with track evolution.

Max on fresh C3 again...
