Interesting that Ferrari seems stronger in the lower speed stuff. After testing I could have sworn they said they still had understeer in the slower stuff and it remained a focus. Fixed? Or have I misremembered that?

setup compromises.

Promising if by race 3 they’ve turned a weakness/point of focus into a relative strength over redbull and seemingly the field. At least here. I like this Ferrari. Fred’s Ferrari.

If the +1 PSI change undoes Ferrari here I am going full conspiracy DTS nutjob because I have hope for the first time since Singapore. We need this!

Charles now looks much less comfortable, hope he can get back the feeling from yesterday

He had traffic...

Carlos seemed to be the only one that could improve sector 1 immediately on the soft. His laps fell away as he continued, but was always within hundredths of his best on the mediums whereas everyone else seemed to need 2 or even 3 laps to get close, particularly the mercs.

Very strange, but I think much ado about nothing. The temp is forecast to be much hotter for quali, so things will likely be more similar to yesterday where the soft was a better single lap tyre.

Weird session... car was worst under these colder temps.

how much does 1psi +/- effect? also i din't catch the fp3, did they do any race sim??

LEC v VER


* Lots of gain for VER in the straights.
* In T1 LEC made a mistake (SAI is faster than LEC on that corner, not sure if Max makes an error too, didn't check PER)
* All other slower corners LEC gains a lot
* T9-10 LEC doesn't lose anything really despite taking T9 slower.
* Last 3 corners LEC gains 0.4s on Max, this may be critical to preserve front tires in the race
* Final straight I hope there's something extra there for LEC as the acceleration there is very poor.


LEC v HAM


* Error in T1 from LEC is more clear here.
* HAM takes T10 much better than LEC and is able to gain quite a bit there, basically everything they lose end of straight into T9
* Good final straight from Mercedes, not quite like Max but still better than LEC.

In either lap Ferrari is in a different category in T3-4-5 and T11-12-13-14, should hopefully bode well for the race although might be harder in quali to get tires up to temperature, LEC's best lap on mediums was on the 10th lap for those tires, and 6th for SAI.

Tire deg seems to be nil, the only thing stopping these tires is graining/blistering, certainly not deg.

Anyone know why Charles is so far off Sainz? Just pace?

It's all S1. Sainz does a very good S1 consistently whereas Charles is a bit more inconsistent.

Xavi said it was almost all in T3-T4 apparently

[SoulPancake13]

Not good enough Charles, great lap Sainz.

LEC lost the car in T9-10 and then again in T12 and said on the radio the car was difficult to drive again. Well, hopefully looking good in the race given the good performance in S3.

[scuderiabrandon]

Simply not good enough from Charles.
