Only a new floor? How can one small upgrade give such a big step forward? James Key talked about a huge amount of time. If it gives 7 tenths then it is a big step but can a new floor only do that?
7 tenths is too much to expect. Those kind of improvements come with a fix to a major error in design. 0.2-0.3secs is more realistic, anything more would be sensational. Just see how tight the field is, anyone gaining 3 tenths jumps to the front of the midfield
Q: (Stefano Mancini – La Stampa) Kimi, will you help Vettel to win his championship this year?
Kimi Raikkonen: I can only drive one car, obviously.
@2018 Singapore Grand Prix drivers press conference.
Yeah the upgrade isnt going to be that much - up to 3 tenths tops. But perhaps it will bring a decent platform for in season development. The real silver lining for me is Piastri - the guy is doing super well
Considering this new philosophy they've adopted and are bringing to Baku is what they've been working on for 5-6 months I expect a bit more than 3 tenths. Not to mention it won't just be the floor. A new front wing is expected and I expect other bits and pieces like brake ducts etc
Nice job from Piastri… Already showing how good is for the team to have two drivers not too far apart from each other… Let’s see if he can get the car into Q3
