As usual, no sanity test was conducted. Aston and Alpine will not be that slow.
so far AF has not explained how they got this simulator predictions, not to mention how inaccurate it is. Are they basing off of F1 23?

Lot of teams going high on downforce it looks. Not surprised with the expected temperatures.

RB and Merc running max downforce RW. Ferrari and Alpine medium-high

While temps are expected to go as high as 34ºC during Friday and Saturday, they'll drop considerably for the race (about 25ºC). Something to keep in mind for the tyres.

That rear wing of the Ferrari...is that real... :wtf:

Also, this is more proof of how bad RB's high downforce package was last season for Max. :lol:

If Singapore was bumpy I think this track is definitely stumpy.

In these first tests on hard rubber #Verstappen and #RedBull they still seem not perfect in the snake and with a rear that still runs away a little. #Hamilton and #Mercedes with the updates show a little less top speed but good stability and for now similar to Max. Let's see #USGP
