Don't know how accurate these numbers are...interpret them as you like.
How's about you share your thoughts, preview or a precis of that link - as some people might not be able to access it, or canont due to work blocks etc?

is it volumes of school dinners eaten in Cumbria? Numbers of left handed gloves that are lost on train journeys? :mrgreen:

Would be much nicer for everyone to know what that was, even at a basic level, to give them a reaon to want to clock on that link?

I kind of doubt these cars have it in them to set a 30.8 with that kind of fuel. Thats end of stint 1 or beginning of stint 2 level. For reference, best lap Max managed to put in on the race last year around that level of fuel was a low 35s.

What was the source for this claim?
Don't compare race pace and Q pace with the same fuel, race pace is about tyre management and Q pace about tyre abuse. 30.8 with 70kg of fuel (+2-2.2s) is probably about 5 tenths off what the pole time will be this year
It’s a fair point. In Bahrain specifically you have to take care of the rears and you lose a lot of time feathering the throttle out of slow speed corners. However, for a track like Bahrain with a lot of “stop and go” sections, I would consider your numbers a little bit on the conservative side.

A bigger weight will be punished harder on tracks which have frequent momentum shifts. That’s why a 30.8 on 70kgs sounds a bit unrealistic. It implies (close to) a 1.5 second gain on Bahrain-spec SF24.

It implies about 5-6 tenths gained year-on-year at most, I don't know where that extra second you got comes from

Because I think in Bahrain, 70 liters of Fuel should add closer to +3 seconds in laptime and not +2.
