[Ground Effect]

Hope they’ll make up for it in the afternoon

They lost about 40 laps. not a disaster. The good thing is that the track is not so good atm.

Out nice and early...

Edit... Back looking at the brakes again...

[genarro]

Any news?

[mclaren111]

Not Good... Car on stands...

Bad day today, but what you gonna do. When it hits you it hits you. Hopefully things go cleaner tomorrow.

I agree, better to fix the issue today, and compensate tomorrow and the day after instead of having this issue on a race weekend when it actually matters.


P.S how didn't they discover this yesterday?!

Perhaps the parts weren't on the car, question is if thats the case why didnt they revert to the Barcelona spec?

Back Out.... Yippee...

5 lap stint and our best time today on hards. Just over 2 tenths slower than Carlos on the same compound.

If they are having brake issues then they can't possibly be pushing that car hard. It looks like this is a throwaway day. They are just getting out for the sake of getting out. They have barely gotten anything out of this day, apart from the early aero-rake sessions. Which to be honest, would just be confirming what they already knew from Barcelona.

At least I hope everything was okay in that regard, otherwise you could classify the whole day as a disaster.

On track again

It's 26 degrees, hopefully there isn't an issue with the brake temps due to airflow.

[Emag]

Starting to get a bit worried now, but I'll hold on conclusions until I listen to the report from the team today and their performance tomorrow.

[Seerix]

Looks like they are not able to fix it today at all. That's why NOR goes for only short stints and overshoots a bunch in braking zones as well.
