What happened to the much hyped front wing?

We don't have a clear explanation yet, what is believed at the moment is some change was done but not mandatory to declare.

Yes. Quite strange. From everybody talking about it, to no mention of it at all. Even though not mandatory to declare, any pics or comparisons? Did any reporter question Krack or anyone else about it? Or is it that they've kept it a secret and are going to debut it in FP3 and go .5 sec faster?

Could be the new materiel that was talked about, or a change to an internal part not possible to see from the outside.

They said they didn't have to announce the front wing as a new from wing if it was to get around the new technical directives.

The Aston Martin lagged behind in the dry lap simulations, but in FP2 it showed an interesting race pace with the good characteristic of preserving the rear tyres even better than its rivals. The problem for the AMR23, however, seems to be the usual one from the start of the season: finding a functional balance to fire up the tyres for the dry lap in qualifying, without ending up with excessive consumption in the race. Normally the Silverstone car prefers, and is among the best, to manage the tyres in the race, but this can be a limitation in Qualifying"

I'm very hesitant to jump to conclusions. Especially on Friday. There is tons of data collected on Friday. The best setups come out of that data. Sometimes, there is little change, on average one team finds a chunk of time on Friday night/Saturday morning.

I think we can expect Magic Alonso this weekend. He has phenominal starts over here, plus I can count on Leclerc to crash frm the lead or Ferrari to screw it up. Best chance of the year.

frm magic to tragic. Can't blame Nando though. But if this is our pace, bye bye to 2nd in the constructors.

[selvam_e2002]

if you check the FP1, they did same, Mclaren is fast however in the evening AM is doing OK. so, we can expect better Qualifying for Alonso.

It could be due to the tyre temperature

FP3 from Alonso: 1:33.051. and FP1 is: 1:33.974
FP2 from Alonso: 1:32.478 - This is the representative time for qualy sim.

Stroll is hopeless and useless

dont worry

Very. Glad he is okay, but that's ruined Q1's excitement. I'm sure there could have been some big names that wouldn't have made the cut with track evolution.

Add shameless to that aswell

Good thing Stroll is at the same level as Alonso.
Imagine if he wasn't.

[noshbloke]

well, Alonso just hit 1:31.8s

[NAPI10]

Look at Lawson ,one who is driving for first time here and we have Lance ; totally hopeless.
