Norris will likely get Lewis early...the move on the astons need be prompt.DGP123 wrote: ↑05 Nov 2023, 17:02No, they won’t. You do know Yuki/Pierre are 15th/16th on the grid.
Hopefully the car works better on the M compound. Ideally, Ham needs to jump the Aston’s, and then manage behind LEC/VER. Russell’s penalty means he will be the one fighting more today, like Hamilton was yesterday
I think is better to lose even 1-2 positions than have such a massive drop-off later on, but yeah not easy. As a Ferrari fan i know the feeling very well unfortunately. We have been dealing with terrible tyre management since 2018....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. They were very quick today, and that wasn't probably the optimal way to manage the stint.Luscion wrote: ↑05 Nov 2023, 02:40
i 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 etc
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.
Merc seems confident enough they can fix it without having to change setup under parc ferme, about to see if their right or got it completely wrong this weekend
