- it is also evident from the gap line how the PU level is very similar between #Ferrari and #McLaren , but how much #Leclerc comes out from T6 onwards, including a sensational advantage in the fast triple of S3. On the one hand it is definitely probable that McLaren has more than Ferrari in its pocket, on the other hand some of the red's weak points do not seem so weak after all
- The indicators also seem to point to a higher aero load for the #SF24 . Perhaps the experimental bottom works better than expected. However, these are indicators to be taken with a pinch of salt in free testing.
- Looking at the short step sim, you notice #Piastri very fast. #Mercedes both similar and with an excellent performance, #Verstappen has a perfect progression but with much higher times than the competition (tried with a full tank?).
- Ferrari has done very little race sim, but it seems to be part of an aggressive strategy with a view to working on the single lap to maximise the sprint and then using the sprint itself as further confirmation of some choices in the long runs, also considering that the impression is that this weekend the Maranello team has an excellent correlation.
