No excuse here, just stating what Charles said on his radio. It is clear at this point that Sainz is doing a better job with tyre warmup than Charles is, which you can see in their driving styles, hence why Charles has better tyre management.
I doubt Leclerc or the team would want to drive a new floor in the dying moments of a WCC battle if they didn't think it was an upgrade. He was clearly enjoying it in FP, but Sainz hadn't showed his hand.SoulPancake13 wrote: ↑29 Nov 2024, 20:27I don't think it was really an upgrade if they only decide 30 minutes before SQ to put it on. Still, credit where credit is due.
Do you know what temperatures Sainz's tires were at? It is just like the Mercedes thread. Russell is ahead. Then it must be that Hamilton was sabotaged by the team, or they changed his setup, or this, or that. ffs just credit Sainz and let it go. When it's the other way around nobody says Sainz's tires weren't warm or some other bs. Sainz didn't even have the upgraded floor.SoulPancake13 wrote: ↑29 Nov 2024, 20:30No excuse here, just stating what Charles said on his radio.

Nice strawman. This is a constant trend this season and I didn't claim it wasn't Charles's fault, it is on him to adapt and overcome this and he hasn't since Mexico.AR3-GP wrote: ↑29 Nov 2024, 20:33Do you know what temperatures Sainz's tires were at?

The fact that the two of them will be teammates next year is the funniest thing.
How do you know that Sainz's tires were warm? Have you seen the data?SoulPancake13 wrote: ↑29 Nov 2024, 20:38Nice strawman.

Sainz didn't complain about it, Charles did. If they were cold, I'm sure Sainz would have said something. I don't get your point here. At the end, 0.029 separated them(mind you, I was talking about SQ2, not SQ3...)AR3-GP wrote: ↑29 Nov 2024, 20:39How do you know that Sainz's tires were warm?

One day you guys will realize that performance is massively impacted by the characteristics of the car. Maybe Lewis will like Ferrari balance next year and will perform much better.
Or maybe Sainz just gets on with it without complaining where everyone can hear it as an excuse and leaves it for private discussion.SoulPancake13 wrote: ↑29 Nov 2024, 20:41Sainz didn't complain about it, Charles did.

And how do you know this? You are making assumptions just as I am. Also, Sainz is not one to stay silent lmao.AR3-GP wrote: ↑29 Nov 2024, 20:42Or maybe Sainz just gets on with it without complaining where everyone can hear it as an excuse and leaves it for private discussion.SoulPancake13 wrote: ↑29 Nov 2024, 20:41Sainz didn't complain about it, Charles did.
