This upgrade is reminding me of the nose in 2020, that was essentially a 2021 part. Sainz hated it because it made the car particularly tricky to drive.
It hasn’t seem too tricky but just lazy and stiff. Very slow to change direction. Hopefully they can dial the package in on a more normal track. I guess the positive is that it isn’t slower and there is now a development direction that has opened up, compared to the dead alley they were in
Very hard to evaluate it based on the conditions of qualifying… I was looking at the the ideal lap versus actual lap for the drivers and there was a lot of time left on the table by everyone (interestingly, Gasly had the fastest ideal lap of the field by a large margin… He would have been 6 seconds faster than Hamilton’s ideal fastest lap as a reference).
Between a package that will need some time to find sweet spot, a very greasy track due to the rain and the fact that one mistake means not only losing lap time, but losing the entire car against a wall… Not the best place to make an assessment
