Heh, so the traditional wisdom that you can make up both straights in the middle sector was off – he managed to make up the kemel straight, but not blanchimont.

I think if you plotted wing angle vs laptime, you'd get a "local minima" where the compromise is spot on, but iven the track layout it's quite difficult - so you always err for slightly too much or too little wing. I think Lewis just had too much wing. If he had maybe less than what he has, it could still be that he could have matched Jenson's time.

So the new wing gained 0.6 on sector 1 and 0.5 in sector 3, that is a huge development with their rear wing. Anyone see how much time was lost in the middle sector with the new wing going by the telemetry?

While the pic remains on instagram, the tweet has been deleted. That's 3 tweets in the last 2 days that a tweet from him has disappeared.

While he quotes .6 and .5, I'm not sure that's correct. Look at the axis labels on the far left - he doesn't lose even .5 in S1, and less again in S3

Huh? I couldn't see a scale on the trace, but he ended the lap 0.8 down, and the trace shows him *almost* caught up with button at the end of S2, so that tells you the scale roughly... Given that scale, he certainly does lose the numbers he quoted – 0.6 down kemmel, gained 0.3-0.4 again in S2, and then lost it and more down through blanchimont.

Look on the far left, where the time trace is. There are labels there. -0.1, -0.5 and -0.9 - which is the time delta

Right, but that scale can't be the relevant one, because the trace doesn't end at -0.821.

What an idiot. Not that it really gives much away, but still.. stupid on principle.

That scale on the left is indeed the relevant one. Looks like they compared two similar lap times between the two configurations. One wins on the straights... the other wins through the corners, for [very nearly] equivalent lap time.

Cheers Beeslebob - I knew someone would have kept it =D>

Interesting trace - did you guys see Martin Whitmarsh allude to "interesting things being on Twitter" when talking on Sky this morning..

Lewis is likely to get some education about this methinks.

The interesting to me to see the little blips in torque in the breaking zones.

Which blips would these be? Not seeing any.
