Last 4 laps are last 4 laps. Or maybe in-laps are discounted from race time and I didn´t know?scuderiabrandon wrote: ↑10 Apr 2024, 09:23You are counting the in-laps as one of the 4 laps.Andres125sx wrote: ↑10 Apr 2024, 08:29Actually, last 4 laps average is 39.229 for Leclerc, 38.780 for Sainzscuderiabrandon wrote: ↑09 Apr 2024, 08:49
They averaged the last 4 laps of the listed driver's 1 stints. So Sainz' 37.9 is included.
Leclerc stint was ~12 laps longer than the other drivers listed. I would say this is anything but "cherry picking".

It's been resurfaced in the meantime, quite recently if I'm not mistaken, so that would be another reason to go higher on the wings. I've checked old Pirelli previews and the downforce index is never higher than 2/5, if that's the right terminology.Vanja #66 wrote: ↑11 Apr 2024, 08:05China was a fairly high-load circuit earlier, 2019 cars used same wings in Bahrain and China. Surface only got rougher and possibly even bumpier than before, so keeping higher level of wings might be necessary. I wouldn't be surprised seeing Suzuka specs on all cars. Right now mid-level wings seems like a must to me, the only question may be beam wing choice for RB and Ferrari.
Of course, they will be slower because they are going into the pit lane, it skews the mean lap time therefore it's considered an outlier. This pretty standard stuff.Andres125sx wrote: ↑11 Apr 2024, 08:11Last 4 laps are last 4 laps.

Ah, cool, didn't know about resurfacing, thanks. Maybe new cars can indeed go with lower wings because with new asphalt they can ride lower, but I still think Ferrari will then choose 1-piece beam wing and keep the same rear wing again. Everyone will bring a lot of wings to cover every possibility in any case, it's a big unknown with new cars and new asphalt for sure...scuderiabrandon wrote: ↑11 Apr 2024, 08:26It's been resurfaced in the meantime, quite recently if I'm not mistaken, so that would be another reason to go higher on the wings.

I agree Bahrain is a good measuring stick in terms of set up, but SIC is not as clear-cut in terms of wing levels. I think there is definitely scope to go lower on wings because with the new cars.
All things aside, if there is a team I expect to arrive with a good base setup, it's Ferrari. They seem to know what they are doing in the simulator.
