Lando says his preference is high speed corners and with much improved aero efficiency with the updates we could be in the zone to challenge Ferrari/Merc/Aston Martin. With both drivers we can start eating into Alpine’s advantage.

C1-C3 so the tyres will be the same as Barcelona. It is the hardest range of tyres we've had so far this season. C0 (last year's hard tyre) hasn't been used at allBMMR61 wrote: ↑04 Jul 2023, 10:52Has anyone got info on what tyre compounds are rostered for Silverstone?

Even the Ferrari now has significant carbon patches all over the carPikeStance wrote: ↑04 Jul 2023, 11:08How much weight does the paint add? Red Bull and Ferrari both are painted "head to toe" and yet they are quite fast.
No idea about the weight, but I think McLaren had an article about it on their website a couple of years ago. But it's not really painted anymore, the McLaren at least. It's been majority wrapped since 2020 or so I think, the only things that are painted are things that can't be wrapped for whatever reason.PikeStance wrote: ↑04 Jul 2023, 11:08How much weight does the paint add?

Nice work, I really like that.
