FW looks the same. As for the floor, no news yet
Slight change to the winglet under the sidepod connecting to the floor, check the car thread (last post currently)
Renault have stated that PU's is not running at max... Sure that's the same at McLaren...After two days of Formula 1 preseason testing, Renault are leading in the top speed stakes as Lando Norris recorded the top speed in the McLaren of 337 kph but it is pretty obvious that Ferrari and Mercedes, in particular, are yet to unleash their best.
Top Speeds
In a report published on the official F1 website, stats Honda in second on 229 kph which was recorded by Max Verstappen on the first day of testing in Spain.
Notably, Mercedes were slowest at around 326 kph, suggesting that for now they are simply in cruise-mode and when they do crank it up they are likely to tickle the 340 kph and perhaps even break it.
It was the boomerang wing vertical support.
I'm sure Norris and Sainz will deal with it. In fact it is a non issue. These are very mature focussed professionals who will welcome the opinon of Alonso.Bisonas wrote: ↑20 Feb 2019, 11:37The prospect of Fernando testing the car next week.
Are the Pros more than the Cons ??
I want him to test, personally, i like him and i generally consider him as one of the best up there and i follow his races closely, BUT, hearing the F1 live testing commentary the last few days, most of the guys there really against it.
They think it will do more bad than good in the team overall.
Unbalance the dynamics inside the team, psychological hit on drivers and team if he proves to engineers he is much faster, and the input he gives no matter how much technical or accurate it is,may be in conflict with the feedback from the drivers. So development direction decision will have another variable and become more complicated.
Things like that got me thinking actually, that as much as i want him to test, it may not be the best thing.
Thoughts ??
