Leclerc said that the load they gained is very apparent in the data, especially at low speed. It's just that the tenths you gain at low speed right now are lost with the bouncing at high speed.
Right we haven’t seen the full potential of these upgrades and how much has the actually the gap reduced when there is no bouncing. We could very well be within a tenth without the loss due to bouncing. We just don’t know.SoulPancake13 wrote: ↑01 Jul 2024, 18:11Leclerc said that the load they gained is very apparent in the data, especially at low speed.

Let's not overreact to every little thing, there's really no need. SF23 was in a far worse condition at this time last year and it finished 2nd in the race thanks to Leclerc's track position basically. Verstappen had 25s advantage and pitted to go for a fastest lap just because he could last year, this year Sainz was 18s behind when Verstappen and Norris came together.SoulPancake13 wrote: ↑01 Jul 2024, 16:16Sure, but maybe something is just rubbing me the wrong way. The way Vasseur explains it makes it seem like a small issue easily fixed... if this is the case then I will be more than pleased but from what I can tell it seems they have no clue where to start to fix it.
Anything over 2-3 tenths improvement if they fix bouncing seems too optimistic imo.Vanja #66 wrote: ↑01 Jul 2024, 18:34Let's not overreact to every little thing, there's really no need.

In Suzuka Max had 21s advantage over Ferrari (Sainz) and 24s in China (Leclerc), even with these clear bouncing issues there is progress since 5-6 races ago. The current feeling of big slump comes from decent results in Miami, Imola and Monaco and a big step from Mercedes, coupled with some bad work in the garage and bad luck in 2 of the last 3 races.
They are pushing aero to the limit and they can likely find 2-3 tenths without bouncing and 1-2 tenths more with drivers' confidence if they find the right solution.
My worry is finding the right solution - but you are right. This season started with us a lot closer to Red Bull, and the high after Monaco maybe set up some nasty expectations that weren't totally fair. I just want to see them get closer to the top 2 teams in pace like in ImolaVanja #66 wrote: ↑01 Jul 2024, 18:34Let's not overreact to every little thing, there's really no need.

...wich means 5-4 for Charles, no matter how you try to show it, it´s only 5-4 for LeclercSoulPancake13 wrote: ↑01 Jul 2024, 12:10From China sprint race until Spain race, every competitive session was won by Charles.Andres125sx wrote: ↑01 Jul 2024, 08:3514-0?

I think since we're used to Leclerc outperforming Sainz we assume he could've done better, but the truth is Leclerc just didn't have it this weekend. Doesn't mean he's a bad driver, he outperformed Sainz 14-0 before this so obviously not
It is 5-4 for Charles, with just 15 points difference. And that´s with one more GP for Leclerc, as Carlos didn´t participate in Arabia due to appendicitis. 1 victory and 5 podiums for each driver too.
Charles and Carlos are the teammates performing more similar, at least from top teams

Andres - rebut the data. Argue the points (if you have to) but it's not cheating or hyperbole about bias.Andres125sx wrote: ↑02 Jul 2024, 08:11Can you guys please stop posting FALSE information?ScuderiaLeo wrote: ↑01 Jul 2024, 12:14That's counting both qualifying sessions and sprint sessions, in addition to races.
If they are 5-4 on long races, how in the hell can you say they are 14-0 overall?
You guys are too biased, we all are biased, but trying to cheat F1T members posting false information is completely beyond the line...
I said a 14-0 streak before this, as in the 14 competitive sessions directly before this weekend.Andres125sx wrote: ↑02 Jul 2024, 08:11Can you guys please stop posting FALSE information?
