2023 Australian Grand Prix - Melbourne, March 31 - April 02

[AR3-GP]

Every single one of those calls for a hard tire stint. Interesting.

If max was struggling to keep tyre temps up, as someone said, then it can only be harder to keep the hards in a window.

...
Expect Perez to get into the top 6 - definitely the top 8. Should clear the backmarkers pretty quickly. His race to shine, even if its a difficult overtaking track. The long DRS zone and the start finish line should be a perfect spot for any of his overtakes.
...

His starting position gives Checo an opportunity to shine by coming through the field the way Max did in Jeddah, but his weekend thus far hasn't been very sparkly.

What are track temps like today?

It will be a fair bit warmer. It's sunny with no clouds. The F3 feature race started 1.5hrs ago and at the start the air temp was 13.5 and track temp 17 degrees which is similar to the values we had yesterday for fp3/quali

19C/20C airtemp, but with the sun out easily 20+ I guess. So track temp will be at minimum around 30 .. complete different dynamics.

Oz GP-thread is always slow ahead of the race .. loads of ppl unconsious

What was the "same problem" Sergio complained about on the radio after beaching the car?

[Sevach]

Sunny day in F2, let's see how this affects the cars.

Ps:Checo was complaining about his brakes ever since Fp3(in which he couldn't keep his car on track).

Thanks. Brake temps? Or maybe the MGU harvesting implied in other threads?

Don't know, they didn't go into much detail over the radio... he just really disliked braking behaviour.

This one might just be taking the opportunity of a "essentially free" change.

Ok. That's a good possibility.

[chrisc90]

They must be of a new specification though as hasn’t hit the allowance yet? And even then it would be the back of the grid or a place penalty.

18 degrees air temp & no clouds full sun.

No clue on track temp
