SMDH. Charles race engineer had warned just as he left the pit that tires were colder. I think many factors played while Charles sat in garage, I noticed they were checking the Tyre blanket on the front left if I recall correctly like plugging back and forth the wire, I had a bad feeling back then. I feel like everything that can go wrong for them in q3 went wrong. also pinning everything on team while leaving out driver misstep is wrong, carols didn't need to be so what looked like carless at the very start, and Charles could have been bit easier in turn 1 which is where you get most track limit violation anyway maybe built up the temp from sector 1 still had pace to be higher than where he ended in p9,. that's my novice take..
The temperature is regulated by a thermostatic control box.
the other teams didn't have a problem 'adapting' to it. What is there to 'adapt' ? It's a heating coil (probably in a fluid), with a thermostat. What is there to 'manually adapt' ?
damn the margin are so small, we should keep our expectation for Las Vegas really low then..yooogurt wrote: ↑22 Sep 2024, 11:22formula uno:
At the beginning of the lap the tires began to lack temperature, but the first sector passed very slowly, taking a significant space from the movement of Alonso : the tires abruptly collapsed and could not return to temperature in time without loading them. Leclerc missed by only 2/3 degrees at the start of the lap, but it was enough to cause understeer. Nevertheless, the tire temperature at the garage exit was 70 degrees and there were no technical problems. The timing of the exit forced Leclerc to manage traffic far from perfectly.
Sainz's accident is also explained by insufficient tire temperature: compared to the previous round the Spaniard came out of the corner at 10-15 km / h less, but found himself in the wall even before the beginning of the circle. Moreover, Carlos approached the corner on a more internal trajectory than on the previous laps, collecting dirt - the combination of all factors led to the accident.

According to this, there was nothing wrong with the tire blankets. 70 C is the max temp allowed by regulation.
It's better for the PR to blame it on equipment failure rather than team/pilot error, no?
eventually he blamed the traffic and lap preparation (which is on driver), blaming the equipment is blaming Ferrari as a team/brand, he doesn't want to do that.
