Fr he also didnt really push in his FIRST and last soft lap, he was very cautious because it’s not worth to crash before qualifying. I think he also said something like this on the radio.
I completely agree. Furthermore, I think it was the most logical option after what we saw last season.jofs89 wrote: ↑08 Mar 2024, 12:08I can understand people being disappointed with the race pace in Bahrain, as I was one of them. However, AMR clearly has a fast car on low fuel and I think the technical team are good enough to figure out the set-up/suspension/ride height issues that are causing the race pace to sub-optimal. It might take a bit of time but I'd say it's not a bad base to be starting from, obviously not absolutely ideal. I'd rather this than the AMR24 is just slow but has good tyre deg.zoroastar wrote: ↑08 Mar 2024, 08:19yeah he also did more laps than anyone except for perez, meaning he was carrying a lot of fuel (redbull was too im sure). that along with the fact that they were obviously experimenting with following cars for some reason, hard to draw many conclusions, other than the obvious. hate to see what people would be saying if ALO wasnt fast af in the quali sims
It reminds me a bit of Merc in 2012/13 where the car was quick in quali but ate it's tyres a bit. It's safe to say they ended up figuring it out and did OK the next few years...
Fresh set of softs for any late safety car/red flag would be very good, even starting on them is a possibilityMichaelxScarn wrote: ↑08 Mar 2024, 19:44thought the same, but then again track position here might be our only chance, when tire wear is as bad as yesterday.
