Lance and Fernando had different rear wing configurations. Pedro said this was in order to gather as much data as possible.
I think he's being realistic. It's possible they get out developed by like of Merc and Ferrari. Who knows even Alpine is not too far off.KimiRai wrote: ↑17 Jun 2023, 16:29https://the-race.com/formula-1/astons-n ... ngredient/
Krack in my opinion seems to be preparing everyone psychologically in case the new normal becomes Spain like performances after Mercedes and Ferrari end their underachievement, as he should do. Finishing P4 will still be a great season performance though I think beating Ferrari is very possible still, even in the case they have a faster car as well.
I don't agree. Krack himself states in the article that they've improved their car but it could just be the case others did more than them, and in theory they should because both Mercedes and Ferrari still have more people and infrastructure. It's not necessarily that AM has failed, and that's his main point.
Ferrari and Mercedes not inlay have more people and infrastructure. They have also the more experienced team.KimiRai wrote: ↑17 Jun 2023, 17:06I don't agree.

yeah people keep saying that. they said it after testing, then after the first race, after a bad race in spain, and now after their big update package when alonso is still 2nd fastest. maybe well finally see their lack of developement after the race tomorrow.peewon wrote: ↑17 Jun 2023, 17:01I think he's being realistic.

I always wondered how much of their progress was down to what knowledg Fallows brought from RB vs their own ideas. I guess it will be the telling factor but so far the development has not been great. Still early to say but they didn't seem to have very obvious ideas on how to develop the car further.
Since they've brought upgrades the car looks a bit more unstable so maybe quest to make the car less draggy is coming at the cost of some downforce.
