You can't have great race pace with the SF 23 whatever the setup. We won't be as quick as McL or MB.
Didn't expect this performance today, though.

yes， at least we may be back to 1st half in 2022，bouncing with downforce. It is really a great upgrade comparing with Miami, but it is too late, because other team like mcl or RB have updated at least 1 year
An unsettled car bouncing like hell took pole and doing so was absolutely hooked up through the esses.
Let's see some tyre deg before we applaud too loudly. Pole means nothing if you end up needing 4 stops...
What does tyre deg have to do with pole position. My friend here was talking about sprint qualifying and how Charles might do it again. You are already assuming the deg will be bad with no data to suggest that is the case. And you are completely ignoring the fact that Ferrari's deg over the last few races have been comparable to that of Mercedes.
actually，I think trye deg is just a phenomena， the question is that lec may be very uncomfortable with high fuel， because higher fuel is equal to a more backward centre of gravity（understeer），in front limited circuit， Vulnerable front end may destroy front tyres， In this season， we found that sai may have a great pace than lec in higher fuel or in rear limited circuit， while in low fuel， everything will be reversed.scuderiabrandon wrote: ↑21 Oct 2023, 15:42What does tyre deg have to do with pole position.

It is better to not make assumptions on sprint weekends. Also this track is one where you do not want to be following another car for too long, the dirty air will not be kind on the tyres here.
Could you elaborate this?
I think this is interesting because I agree that the car looks bouncy but Leclerc actually says that the car is handling the bumps well and it's giving them confidence in the high speed corners.
https://www.racefans.net/2023/10/21/lec ... -time-ago/“It’s very bumpy here and the car definitely felt good on bumps today, which gives you quite a bit of confidence to push in all the high-speed, which normally is our weakness. Maybe because our car was good on those bumps, we could at least match the others.
You got that reversed. Higher weight in the back of the car promotes oversteer, not understeer, because the lighter front will have more grip. As the car burns fuel, the rear end of the car becomes lighter and gains more grip, which then makes the car more understeery.Z-one wrote:the question is that lec may be very uncomfortable with high fuel， because higher fuel is equal to a more backward centre of gravity（understeer)
