I've been calculating average qualy laptime improvement for all teams and the following table is the result:
Renault: -1.700
Red Bull Racing: -1.528
McLaren: -1.499
Haas: -1.474
Sauber: -1.372
Ferrari: -1.093
Force India: -1.083
Mercedes: -0.835
Toro Rosso: -0.489
Williams: -0.196
They are on the top three and their laptime improvement is 80% better than Mercedes.
If it's true Mercedes has fully compensated the negative effects of the Halo, T-wing and Sharkfin, then why they have improve so little in comparison?
what's the difference ? less DF or didn't have as much as they expected ...whatever.
