So it's indeed confirmed. The Spain upgrade introduced a significant amount of bouncing in high speed corners, which is also hard to predict.
I guess they ran out of gains with higher tunnels and decided to risk it. And it didn't work, with current suspension anyway.Xyz22 wrote: ↑29 Jun 2024, 20:29So it's indeed confirmed. The Spain upgrade introduced a significant amount of bouncing in high speed corners, which is also hard to predict.
This is a colossal disaster.

Nothing is rushed for silverstone afaik. That was the original update timeframe and they are going to have the last bit of it. Maybe they add something for the suspension but unlikely to be big, changing suspension requires changing gearbox and more.ScuderiaLeo wrote:I am a little concerned about them rushing more parts for Silverstone. I don't want them to get into a cycle of half-baking upgrades but then just finding new issues because they didn't let them cook long enough.
Sainz's exact words were "I see the team pushing back at home flat out to bring something to Silverstone that could help us in the high speed corners". To me this sounds like they're pushing it because of the issues seen in the past 2 weeks as they would not need to push flat out to bring something that was originally going to come at that time anyway. But I could be misunderstanding or he could've misspoken or any number of things, we'll see once we know what the upgrade actually entails.

Actually the same speed as previous 1:05 lap.Sevach wrote: ↑29 Jun 2024, 23:07https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KP-LI21 ... l=niko6914
The rear just couldn't take the corner at this speed.

I don't think it's clear at all Ferrari are now 4th best.Seanspeed wrote: ↑30 Jun 2024, 00:11The car is fundamentally just worse than the others at this point.
It is very clearly the 4th best car now. Disappointing progress, but really, most of it is that Mclaren and Mercedes both have taken fairly unexpectedly large leaps forwards. Mclaren themselves still don't seem to know why their Miami upgrade was so good.
Whatever the case, Ferrari dont seem to have the potential, understanding, and/or capability of improving to the same degree. Which is quite normal for Ferrari, but it's also an unusual situation in F1 that other teams near the front can improve so much. Ferrari are more like the norm here, while Mclaren and Mercedes have somehow both proved quite the exception, all within a short period of time.
As easy as it is to get disappointed with Ferrari, it's a very unique situation and one that we've pretty much never seen in F1 before. Not saying the feelings of disappointment aren't valid, we all feel that, but it's tough seeing Ferrari not have the same transformative upgrades that our other closest competitors have quite unpredictably had.
