2023 Japanese Grand Prix - Suzuka, Sep 22 - 24

can some one share the long run details for each team?

Picture wasn't clear. Norris was the only top team to do a soft run. Hamilton did medium run. Both Ferraris did hard run. Max did long run on the prototype tyre

So it's not very comparative tbh

The only clear thing was that the degradation was very high

Ferrari did a soft run in fp3. Lighter on fuel but little deg.

Thank you for the correction. Good to know!

As for Williams it seems not DSQ worthy

What exactly is the violation? Is Williams not allowed to prepare a spare car for Sargeant?

To me prepping up a 3rd chassis in time for
Logan is just progressive insight
It's a known ... and this is more efficient

Logan receives a 10s time penalty for the break of parc fermé. Not that it will affect his race much

Hefty ...
That's about the stupidest penalty ever.

Looks sunny & hot, anyone got the track/ ambient temps?

Confirmed today that the wind has flipped 180 degrees. Could affect the more sensitive cars especially at the esses

Pirelli:

I cannot see how RB fits into this picture. They have no new softs, and only 1 set of hards.

They'll just do M/H/M. Similar to the M/H/S strategy that they list

air temp 27.2C & the track 44.7C

I cant see how many teams fit into that strategy.

weather and tyres

Most drivers start on mediums, including the entire top eight. Tsunoda, Alonso, Lawson, Bottas, Stroll, Hulkenberg and Zhou on softs

[AR3-GP]

Perez starting on hards.

Neevrmind he's on mediums. The color is just bad on the camera.

Old Vers back at start .. Pushing Piastri like anything to maintain lead

Piastri wasn't even that close to the grass. That's just a standard squeeze to ensure the driver has to be compromised on the inside which is completely allowed and standard? The dodgiest starts in the last couple of years have been squeezes by Sainz
