Mercedes bouncing like mad exiting the tunnel.

Are they using old floor?

Yes. Old floor, old front wing.

Where did you get this info from? I do not see anything officially?

Defo the old front wing though.

[JordanFiveOh]

Yeah, just the old wing I think for now.

LEC v VER v SAI v PER


LEC v VER v HAM v RUS


a single 6 car graph would be too hard to read so split in 2, it remains kinda hard to read... Anyway for the first time I can say, it's just FP1...



PER v LEC shows some good stuff:

* Basically until Casino (T4) Perez is pushing quite a bit harder than LEC, then he takes T4 much easier.
* The whole of S2 is pretty even but Mirabeau Bas and Portier and the tunnel straight Ferrari can probably push more judging form acceleration curve and other corners
* Braking into pools Ferrari is suffering from some top speed, and some corrections (few out of place brake touches)
* In S3 it seems both are taking it easy for different reasons, PER is not going on the pedal as fast while LEC is braking earlier and not as hard.



RUS v LEC

* Much earlier braking into T1 from RUS (similar to HAM actually)
* Again, LEC takes that whole Casino section much easier than RUS
* Some struggle in slow corners for that Mercedes
* Good acceleration and top speed for Mercedes, so a bit less in the tank, for the tunnel
* In the last sector both drivers like above are taking it easy in different ways

It seems Merc is struggling in the slow corners, very pointy too as if it struggled to turn the car.

Doesn't seem clear who's ahead, aside from Ferrari and RedBull behing ahead of Merc, it doesn't look to be particularly close between top 2 and the rest, but it's just FP1 and everyone was indeed just messing around so far.

All those who pointed that S3 from Barcelona = benchmark for Monaco and said that Mercedes will struggle was so right

[silver]

Based on Mercedes drivers' complaints, it seems like the car's ride height is too aggressively low with stiffer suspension setting. Car is bouncing and the stiff suspension is unable to provide comfort to the driver and the car being thrown around on kerbs.

Impressive pace from Ferrari on the Hard.

Ricciardo... not getting the confidence back.

I'm not his fan, but that was a car problem, not Ric's problem. It looked like the car bottomed out mid corner and lost traction in the rears which sled sideways and cause the control loss.
