Lewis interview is pretty clear. They didn't get it right with the setup.
Lewis has been suffering from understeer, as he said in his interview. Probably, in order to compensate, he had to push the rear tyres more, which resulted in a way worse management compared to Russell. George was either more at ease with this kind of balance (like Sainz) or his side of the garage did a better job.
Leclerc suffered from the same issue in Singapore, to a lesser extent.
One thing they can immediately do tomorrow is to take a more conservative approach in the first few laps. They were very quick today, and that wasn't probably the optimal way to manage the stint.Luscion wrote: ↑05 Nov 2023, 02:40i wonder if they're going to do sim runs overnight along with tweaking the stuff they can under parc ferme and just bite the bullet and start in the pit lane if the sim shows a bigger improvement. i cant see them being in the top 10 tomorrow with just tweaking the front wing etcXyz22 wrote: ↑05 Nov 2023, 02:31

W14 doesn't have the straight-line speed to recover if they loss track positions by running conservative in the first few lapsXyz22 wrote: ↑05 Nov 2023, 02:44One thing they can immediately do tomorrow is to take a more conservative approach in the first few laps.

They can change something front wing related, but nothing major. Lewis will have to find a way to deal with this balance in a better way. Not an easy job for sure.
Their straight line speed is partially due to a slightly short final drive. Mc Laren who is running their own gearbox got it right and is not suffering from this as the others are doing.CHT wrote: ↑05 Nov 2023, 07:59W14 doesn't have the straight-line speed to recover if they loss track positions by running conservative in the first few lapsXyz22 wrote: ↑05 Nov 2023, 02:44One thing they can immediately do tomorrow is to take a more conservative approach in the first few laps.

Track temps were high and most of all constant in FP1:organic wrote: ↑05 Nov 2023, 01:35Lower temperatures should hurt the harder compound tomorrow as it'll slide more and be easier to grain.

So I don't see M/M/H being likely. S/M/M like others will do is going to be quicker even if Merc are bad with the soft. Just have to hope they don't cook the medium tyre as well
No, they won’t. You do know Yuki/Pierre are 15th/16th on the grid.
