That's 2023 territory.
And I'm sorry, but we can't say that we don't put enough energy into the tyres, we're in Barcelona of all places. The track is 42°C.
And now Leclerc is half a second faster than Norris on same tyre of same age...CouncilorIrissa wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 15:47I'm not talking about the whole season, I'm talking about this particular race.LM10 wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 15:43Poor race pace from SF-24?

This specification is poor in race pace from what we've seen so far. On softs Leclerc was losing 4-5 tenths per lap to Norris in clean air.
Because Leclerc is in clean air, Norris is not.LM10 wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 15:49And now Leclerc is half a second faster than Norris on same tyre of same age...CouncilorIrissa wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 15:47I'm not talking about the whole season, I'm talking about this particular race.

To be expected on fresh tyres compared to everyone one else… still noticeably slower than Norris (even in dirty air). He’s too far behind to mount any sort of challenge, aside from 5th from Sainz and keeping Piastri behind later in the race.
19.5 for Lec in clean air vs 19.2 for Norris. Lewis did a 19.4 on tyres that are 8 laps older.LM10 wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 15:49And now Leclerc is half a second faster than Norris on same tyre of same age...CouncilorIrissa wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 15:47I'm not talking about the whole season, I'm talking about this particular race.
