Looking at S2 alone, 7 tenths faster than the pre TD39 F1-75, 2 tenths faster than the 2021 RedBull and only 3 tenths down on the monster of a car which the Mercedes 2020 was. Overall that’s really impressive.Vanja #66 wrote: ↑01 Mar 2024, 21:31Basically the fastest car overall in medium and high speed stuff - in very windy conditions. I still think they were clever with setup, or they couldn't extract more in T1-2-3 so they inadvertently "saved" the tyres for the rest of the lap...
Let's see how the race goes, they've done a good job with the car, now the race execution must be up to the task.
I also think that they were clever with setup, btw.
I’m even more excited for the race as we will see to which extent they managed to improve the race pace and, as you say, the execution generally, strategical calls included.
As teams tend do focus on the weaknesses of the car and slow speed seems to be more of a weak point for now, that could be the case. But we will need 3-4 races to see the full picture and the full potential of the cars.
