0.3s is at least something you can fix with some creative catering expenses.CouncilorIrissa wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 21:07Yeah, 0.3s in race trim would not be amazing obviously, but it means that Charles and Carlos would at least be able to make Checo's life miserable (not that he needs outside help ).
Given how basic our sidepods are compared to the rest, I wouldn't be surprised if there were at least a few tenths you can gain by sculpting them.dialtone wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 21:090.3s is at least something you can fix with some creative catering expenses.CouncilorIrissa wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 21:07Yeah, 0.3s in race trim would not be amazing obviously, but it means that Charles and Carlos would at least be able to make Checo's life miserable (not that he needs outside help ).
Think a function of RB running stiffer and lower compared to Ferrari who run softer

This year, the picture is different. Ferrari has rediscovered its strength from 2022 in the slower sections and is generally better here than Red Bull, who seem to be slightly better in faster areas. In general, however, it looks much better than in 2023.

I'll add that we don't know how much power the teams are using.Andi76 wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 21:29In 2023, the Red Bull was significantly faster in the slow sections, while the Ferrari was sometimes slightly faster in the very fast sections:

Does it? Sainz's lap is slower than Max's on that trace? I think it is comparing the first C3 run of Sainz to Max's.organic wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 21:31Andi76 wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 21:29In 2023, the Red Bull was significantly faster in the slow sections, while the Ferrari was sometimes slightly faster in the very fast sections:

This compares a C4 tyre on day 2 to Max's C3 on day 1. I don't think that's a great comparison, especially looking at low speed where mechanical grip is key especially with the low grid surface at bahrain.
Tomorrow we should get Leclerc and Max on track at the same time hopefully running the same compounds
Sainz's only 1.32.5 lap was Day 1 of practice, lap 23 on 2 lap old mediums.SoulPancake13 wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 21:42Does it? Sainz's lap is slower than Max's on that trace?
