No power for RB in FP2:
If you add Perez to the comparison you see the higher engine mode I think
I think from our side the balance was very off, a lot of understeer, a lot of jumping, so definitely a few things to figure out for tomorrow.”
“A lot to figure out for FP3 to be good in qualifying, but we’ll see. I didn’t expect it to be so far off, so that’s also a bit of a question mark for us.”
“We’re still P3, it’s not too bad, but balance-wise I think it can be a lot better, so we’ll try and have a look at what happened there.”
Anyone an idea why that was? GP was on the pitwall (normally he works from the box in all sessions apart from the race).
Just found out it was Tom Hart, who is Max' performance engineer and backup race engineer. Was only for today.marcel171281 wrote: ↑24 Nov 2023, 21:13Anyone an idea why that was? GP was on the pitwall (normally he works from the box in all sessions apart from the race).
Just training a backup engineer for just in case maybe? This guy also did FP1 with Jake Dennis.
I didn't see the interview with Marko, but during the German coverage it was brought up that he said that the team wanted to bring in some young engineers as well for this young driver day.marcel171281 wrote: ↑24 Nov 2023, 21:13Anyone an idea why that was?

"Now I have understeer" and "I think this is a little bit better compromise".
High fuel balance seems fine and good deg. Low fuel balance is questionable.
