With only 1 free practice session, I doubt they had a chance to evaluate alternatives.
Both of these 10 kmh's higher speeds are almost irrelevant in terms of laptime. Again we're observing honda's outright ERS advantage allowing RB to deploy for those 100m before turn 1 and then for those last 100m before T3. Maybe it comes in handy on sunday, but they were unable to pull a move on Lec last year, so I don't see how they can this time.AR3-GP wrote: ↑28 Apr 2023, 17:02Looking at the telemetry it's not obvious one way or the other what they should be doing setup wise. They have 10kph advantage on both DRS straights. Max has a higher minimum speed in some corners, Leclerc higher in others.

We don't know what RB could have done last year since the Ferrari retired.The first laps on high fuel with soft tires are very delicately driven. You take the easy overtake if you can get it, but you don't ruin the tires on high fuel chasing an overtake that can come with strategy, or at worst, pushing on lower fuel. This is how Perez did his race in Bahrain and how we've seen Max do his races where he doesn't start in front.Juzh wrote: ↑28 Apr 2023, 17:08Both of these 10 kmh's higher speeds are almost irrelevant in terms of laptime.

"Ferrari sets the tyres on fire faster than we do," Horner observes. The cooler it is, the more this property pays off. Verstappen interjected: "In doing so, we changed our warm-up strategy." Nevertheless, Leclerc took one and a half tenths off him in Sector 2, where ten of the 20 corners are located.
