How do you expect to see the floor? It's impossible without an accident on track, no?
I am really getting bored of the so called expert here who just waffles to get point on board, someone already know the upgrade is not worth 3-4tenth, how did they knows this things without seeing the data?Sphere3758 wrote: ↑10 May 2024, 16:15This is always so much fun.

Even other formula 1 teams can’t predict this with any certainty haha .

Teams cannot get a setup consistency right with all the possible data in the world on their OWN car, eyeballing gains on other cars is nonsense
Well so far the floor looks the same.
I remember someone had a signature that said "CFD eyes of Sauron". I thought that was hilarious and very tongue-in-cheek. I plagiarised the name for my f1 fantasy team.Sphere3758 wrote: ↑10 May 2024, 16:15This is always so much fun.

This forum exists for this very reason, for people to discuss the changes. Completely fair to say the visual changes were lesser than expected.Seanspeed wrote: ↑10 May 2024, 17:05Well so far the floor looks the same.
And it's seriously wild that we've spent the past couple months all talking about the huge B-spec/2.0 version coming, and now that it doesn't turn out to be the case, most people are suggesting that this was always some unrealistic expectation?
Maybe people have a very different idea of what B-spec means or something?
By no means am I claiming this is a disaster and of course I know nothing of what the performance will be, but surely y'all cant just gaslight everybody into pretending people weren't expecting something at least a bit more visually significant than this?
One person said anything about performance numbers. We dont need to overexaggerate the extent to which that is happening here.Sphere3758 wrote: ↑10 May 2024, 17:10This forum exists for this very reason, for people to discuss the changes.

It just gets a lot more pretend voodoo when people start attaching performance numbers to this.
Just last year, we saw how a floor update in Suzuka, with no major visible bodywork changes, led to Leclerc feeling a lot more confident and take multiple pole positions (and almost a win) on merit.
