I agree if they decide to forget the High Rake setup because this is the bigger difference to me this year. They try hard to benefit from the high rake in slow corners and i hope they gathered the data they needed.dren wrote: ↑25 Feb 2020, 16:47The team has said they are trying to understand a wide range of set-up possibilities to better prepare them for the season. They also designed this car with more flexibility in set-up changes. They had a narrow range last year that hurt them on occasion. I don't see any need to panic. The regulations haven't changed and the car doesn't have any drastic changes on it, so I'd expect them to be competitive.
The head of the team looking like he just saw a ghost, telling you he is not the first or second best car in the field, he cannot challenge for wins now, but maybe can at the end of the year...none of that is cause for panic, huh?dren wrote: ↑25 Feb 2020, 16:47The team has said they are trying to understand a wide range of set-up possibilities to better prepare them for the season.

Could be true, could be an act. Anyone can say anything, it essentially means nothing.Ringleheim wrote: ↑25 Feb 2020, 20:55The head of the team looking like he just saw a ghost, telling you he is not the first or second best car in the field, he cannot challenge for wins now, but maybe can at the end of the year...none of that is cause for panic, huh?dren wrote: ↑25 Feb 2020, 16:47The team has said they are trying to understand a wide range of set-up possibilities to better prepare them for the season.

You're a brave soul.
I've expected then to go to something like the Alfa nose rather than follow Mercedes, thus far they extend their nostrils a little bit compared to next year... let's see if there's something to come.

Still, the question remains. Is it the matter of airflow (velocity?)
