Several other teams have big upgrades in Germany. I hope we do as well!

This is understandable, Hungary GP will be more challenging for us and it is the last race before the summer break

Logistically it shouldn't be a problem since Hungary and Germany are very close (relatively speaking) with each-other. I am just assuming that parts are not ready/produced yet. Either way, their upgrade at Silverstone was substantial, with a change in bargeboard philosophy and a floor tweak. If they got valuable data from the last race they can probably extract more from it in the upcoming races.

Point is there aren't many high-medium speed corners to make up for time lost at low speeds which wasn't the focus of those upgrades. But it's probably wise regardless; no need to get overwhelmed by new parts without adequately understanding current ones first. It's an issue we've seen effecting many teams including Renault as recent as France & Austria.

The bad news, Lando said that the chassis problems in slow corners, they will not be able to solve during the season.

In this case it means it is a chassis limitation, but they can surely try (which they are) to reduce the negative effect as much as possible trough set up and some updates here and there.

We’ll get a better feel from the team in the FP report later. Set up may have been leaning towards tomorrow’s weather forecast.
