In high dwf configuration prior to this weekend amr were the quickest in the straight-line iirc and RB have always been average-slow in high dwf since the beginning of 2022. RB have brought a beamwing upgrade that has seemed to give them that ridiculous drs topspeed that they have in medium/low trim.KimiRai wrote: ↑26 Aug 2023, 17:45if we trust those top speed numbers and we also delete the ferraris from the comparison due to them running a compromised low downforce setup due to their issues, aston have decent top speed, only 5km from redbulls. they definitely improved that since the start of the season (which might have unbalanced the car and caused other issues, but its an improvement for sure). it doesn't seem to be anymore the bahrain amr23 that forced fernando to overtake in impossible places due to lack of top speed, so it will be interesting to check the top speeds at Monza as well to confirm the trend .
So comparing to the others (Merc, McLaren) who RB were amongst at other high dwf tracks (Spain, Hungary) amr are still ahead in that regard
Here is Hungary just to show where amr have usually been relative to RB at high dwf
