It is Hungary... not a power sensitive track and aiming for high speed does not necessary a fast lap make. I am more hoping that this means they have a direction on setup or more suited for the car.

It's interesting. Hartley was regularly showing higher speeds than Gasly through the traps (5-8kmh+) and Gasly was pretty much bang on Ricciardo's speeds. So two things. Hartley was likely running less downforce in his setup, would also make sense with the harder rubber strat. Gasly running higher DF and stickier rubber, lower top speeds.
Or maybe just the fact that Hartley had DRS available and Gasly didn'tGhostF1 wrote: ↑31 Jul 2018, 04:59It's interesting.

Renault doesn't seem ahead at all regarding top speed. So I don't think the others are moving any faster than before.

Funny that somebody give u down vote, but currently STR dont even dare to touch that updated wing in downforce track . Good feeling mate!
Jonathan Eddolls: Brendon was on duty driving the STR test car and carried out a very comprehensive plan, focusing on mechanical setup tests, aero work, tyre optimization, and Power Unit tests with Honda. We completed more scientific tests we normally aren't able to carry out during a race weekend due to time constraints, running various test items on the chassis side with a view of introducing those at a later date, which were quite successful. There was also a number of items tested on the PU, these also performed very well. We will continue our aero work tomorrow with plans to run quite a few rakes as many teams did today. Other items included a further understanding of the tyres in these extremely hot conditions; I think we've made very good progress during the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend, however, we wanted to confirm all of our findings and try to improve further. It was an extremely productive day, and there's some really positive performance items that have come out of testing which we can look forward to introducing in future races.
if its a spec 2 with some new bits or if its a spec 3 motor it put a hell of a lot km with no problems i think honda is on the right track for redbull next year
