[Based on what?

I saw the below graphic earlier today. Can't speak to its accuracy, but if it's correct, Ferrari was not the 3rd fastest in terms of top speed, today.
these tweets show similar data. and some interesting data if i do say so myself.

These 2 are particularly interesting if accurate. Lewis should be harvesting very little given his amount of breaking and lift & cost.

Based on the fact that Ferrari had the second lowest top speed today at 324 compared to, for example, Russell and Norris at 331, the fact that they never used 8th gear today and charles saying yesterday theyre not chasing performance, i dont know if Ferrari have any plans on lighting up the timings but maybe that changes tomorrow who knows.
3rd fastest top speed. Lowest of the big4 was Verstappen @328 or something.

Top speed is probably one of the least useful metrics in this new regset, considering that Antonelli's top speed (also very low) nonetheless set fastest lap of testing so far.

Isn’t 328 higher than 324?

Sorry, terrible mistake. I had too many things opened in parallel, and end up quoting wrong data.

Duchessa reported that the team internally expects 5 kmh from the wing when used, but is also realistic about the potential downsides, which is a lot more reasonable than the "9 kmh immediate improvement" I saw floating around last night lol

And of course this is more proof of concept than anything

Davidson said that the Ferrari is quietest car; I think this is a good sign.
Ferrari is like 2017/2018 I think.
I was gonna say before, this test feels like 2018 again. The car hasn't felt like this in years, even 2022 wasn't as polarising

I would prefer that Ferrari test a session with the new rear wing. This will actually help them to get the data whether is good

One straight isn't enough? I think yesterday test it is because they bolt it, did laps, came in and bolt the normal one and got out. They have everything they need. Yes sure more laps well be better but they didn't want to do that. Let the others think whatever of it. Maybe its a decoy to make everyone spend a ton of money and time for something similar but they will never use it, page 5 of Toto's book.

Will we get a user freaking out about multiple LEC laps in the 1.38s in stint 1 of a race sim in 44C?

There are indications that this Ferrari is last year's Mclaren in the heat.

Amazing race sim from LEC. Basically matched Piastri's overall race time in much worse track condition.
