That's good, he always seems happy. For once he is unhappy.organic wrote: ↑22 Oct 2023, 01:15Vasseur apparently quite unhappy after the sprint. Tyre deg chart posted in race thread should indicate why. Choice of lower downforce was a risk and doesn't seem to pay off now that everyone else is running higher downforce.
Apparently to F1 official interview he then said they "struggled for different reasons" but will keep it to himself.... Maybe temperatures??
No one will touch RB before 2026. They are in another league. The proof is Perez (a mediocre driver) performance in Baku when he was able to extract the full potential of the car. He finished over 20s ahead of the others.
Leclerc did say in the post-sprint interview with Buxton and hinchtown that they struggled with tire deg.dialtone wrote: ↑22 Oct 2023, 01:31If Vasseur is keeping it to himself, it's likely something dumb the team did. Watching the onboard, comms were minimal, had it been tire deg, temperatures or whatnot they would have talked about it.
My bet is something operational that the team did that is too embarrassing to talk about. SAI pace was fine on softs and even looking at LEC's tires they didn't look too worn out.

Check the pace difference.
ah,a bit complex. lol
With 35 kg of fuel the degradation spoke in favor of Verstappen, then Hamilton and Norris.
Ferrari is more relaxed, it won't be easy to protect the rear but Leclerc and Sainz worked for tomorrow more than today
