Looks like the setup they're running isn't turning the tyres on immediately in these conditions. Quite a change. I'm taking that as a good omen for their tyre woes.
Indeed, but not a change, this is happeing in 3 races in a row now. I said it in Spain after rain hit the track in FP3 so it was cold for Q1, and Lecrerc got eliminated in Q1, but people read it as if I was bashing Lecrerc
.
Then Canada with a damp track, Lecrerc eliminated in Q2.
Now in Austria, same again, cold track after some rain, and Lecrerc got problems and qualified lower than Sainz, even when we all know he´s faster than Sainz in qualifying trim.
Lecrerc is kinder with the tires, wich means with cold track that might be a problem (now confirmed after 3 GPs), but that same problem will be a benefit with hot tracks and also for race trim, wich I think will be better on average
As I also said after Spain qualifying, Ferrari tire problems now are the opposite, they struggle when track is cold, but then their tire wear problems should have beed solved and that should be better for overal race results, as there always are more dry/hot tracks than damp/cold one over a season. Only that last 3 GPs, coincidentally, that was not the case in Q or SQ
Hopefully now people will understand I´m just analysing results, not bashing anyone
