Where? He had a moment in T22 and lost there and on the following straight, but tires were not at their best clearly...but garbage? Purple S1(two tenths faster than anybody), nearly quelled purple S2 and just 0,06slower than purple S3 due to that oversteer correction in T22.
That T22 error made him go completely off throttle in an otherwise acceleration zone. Clearly lost time, and not so little, a tenth minimum, probably two.avantman wrote: ↑22 Mar 2023, 15:25Where?

I don't think this makes any sense to be thinking about it like this. The Renault was a different car. A worse and more unpredictable car.KimiRai wrote: ↑22 Mar 2023, 17:48Looking at Ocon vs Alonso in 2021 and 2022 (without the first 4 races of 2021 due to Alonso adaptation), the qualifying sessions where Stroll has a decent chance of being ahead are:
- Jeddah (missed)
- Miami
- Monaco
- Hungary
- Spa
- Zandvoort
- Suzuka
- Abu Dhabi
The other tracks it's not like he can't be ahead, but I just find it more unlikely. Those are Fernando's qualifying weakest tracks from the past 2 years. Again, I only looked at the past two years.
Sure, but Fernando is the same Fernando with the same platform and jink to the steering wheelAR3-GP wrote: ↑22 Mar 2023, 18:13I don't think this makes any sense to be thinking about it like this.

I think Fernando will be mega at Monaco this year, the mechanical grip is beautiful just like 2010-2012 with the FerrariKimiRai wrote: ↑22 Mar 2023, 17:48Looking at Ocon vs Alonso in 2021 and 2022 (without the first 4 races of 2021 due to Alonso adaptation), the qualifying sessions where Stroll has a decent chance of being ahead are:

The first big upgrade of the season comes in Imola, I expect them to revamp the floor design a bitMansell89 wrote: ↑23 Mar 2023, 13:40Looking forward to seeing Aston in Melbourne- kinda feel like the car should suit that track quite nicely.
I wonder what development pipeline and direction Dan Fallows and Eric Blandin have in mind for this season- looks like their baseline correlation has been exactly what they want from what we read?
To be fair, just AMuS reported this yet. Who knows, maybe they will bring smaller updates, but more often. I guess the real development race starts already in Baku.Alo_Fan wrote: ↑23 Mar 2023, 14:18The first big upgrade of the season comes in Imola, I expect them to revamp the floor design a bitMansell89 wrote: ↑23 Mar 2023, 13:40Looking forward to seeing Aston in Melbourne- kinda feel like the car should suit that track quite nicely.
