It's not only understeer.
if you look at the onboard, just after the turn apex, Leclerc had a slight oversteer which he countersteered going wider, reaching the slippery wet grass and being thus unable to avoid at least the barriers.
The problem here in this specific incident is how quickly the balanced shifted form understeer to oversteer and the back to understeer. How do you as a driver react to such random shift in balance?gordonthegun wrote: ↑26 Aug 2023, 23:53It's not only understeer.

Rumoured upgrades are scheduled around qatar japan austin (late septemper early october) Looking at the circuits it would only make sense for them to bring then upgrades at the circuits that address the mentioned issues.organic wrote: ↑27 Aug 2023, 05:30A french language Ferrari fan account was talking about an interview from this weekend where Leclerc mentions expecting an upgrade soon that will help solve their balance issues with higher downforce configurations
Anyone aware of where this interview is?
Hmm I found this which might be it, in which case he doesn't say it's coming
Arguably, they've been pulling miracles all year. The car is still driving like this even after upgrades to address its inconsistencies.
I think in some tracks the balance was ok which was reflected in the performance (Austria and SPA for example). But overall i agree with you.
Leclerc is losing a huge amount with the damage to the bottom, no chance. Over 1” sec because it massively worsens the degradation of the stint
LEC's car lost 60 load points which equals approximately 20% of vertical load when cornering resulting in rear degrade to resist.
It's almost like it has a Baku rear wing
