These drivers are mega, though. They were done after so many laps and still having the reflexes to be that precise.Juzh wrote: ↑09 Oct 2023, 16:25You're right. Looks like he also did a charge lap and then went for it on the last lap. He was told on start finish line to push hard to get inside 5s.
FIA didn't pick it up either. Unless Leclerc also had track limit violation which weren't being pinged and if they protested Russell they would've gotten stick straight back. Or they were just sleeping as per.
I'd be surprised if the car was as hampered at COTA as it was in Japan.Xyz22 wrote: ↑08 Oct 2023, 20:53The snake in Austinscuderiabrandon wrote: ↑08 Oct 2023, 20:475th quickest car, quite comfortably aswell. We might aswel not show up if there are fast corners.
But maybe the overall balance of the car will be different due to S2 - S3 so MB won't be as quick as today (like Suzuka).
It's not.
Great work! Is it technically too late for Ferrari to raise this issue ? Given the millions on the line, it would be crazy to ignore. The odds of Mercedes finding 3 violations from Leclerc to counter this is very low.
Any protest would not be valid now. They have to be submitted within a short window after the race ends. If not, it will eventually be thrown out (even if the penalty is deserved and the FIA simply failed to apply it during the race).Sphere3758 wrote: ↑09 Oct 2023, 18:14Great work!

https://formu1a.uno/ferrari-tra-delusio ... -la-sf-23/A little background, concerning the Maranello team, concerns the use of the elements of the Power Unit. The SF-23s of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz have in fact been replaced battery packs after the Sprint Race, in view of the Sunday Grand Prix, as later confirmed in the post-race by the Team Principal, Frederic Vasseur. The choice was necessary because during the 'mini-race' both suffered some technical problems. The batteries have been shipped to Maranello and will undergo a careful analysis in the next few hours to understand if they will be reusable, with a temporary malfunction as is believed, or will be lost. Specifically, Carlos Sainz suffered a small problem during the first lap, while Charles Leclerc struggled with energy when relaunching after the Safety Car.
a good news，they could replace all of units in pu before las Vegas，even at cost of penalty. because cota, Mexico,inter may be very difficult to SF-23, but they have opportunity in Las Vegas with powerful PUAR3-GP wrote: ↑09 Oct 2023, 22:32https://formu1a.uno/ferrari-tra-delusio ... -la-sf-23/A little background, concerning the Maranello team, concerns the use of the elements of the Power Unit.

Potential grid penalties if energy stores cannot be salvaged.
Oh wow, speechless... Thanks for finding and sharing this info
but for certain Russell wouldn't had gone unpunished.
