Looks like they have managed to extract more from the same package . Also, they did say imola was not a strong track for them. Their upgrade just has a higher ceiling.
That Sainz pitted with George shows the 2 are among the worst tire managers on the grid.Xyz22 wrote:
Tremendous tyre management in the first stint for Charles.
Our pace compared to McL was awful though. Really big difference.
It happens on every big deg track with Sainz pretty much.dialtone wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 21:54That Sainz pitted with George shows the 2 are among the worst tire managers on the grid.Xyz22 wrote:https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GQxKVR7W4AE ... =4096x4096

Charles did great but Sainz was just way too poor at it here.
I remember a lot of pilots saying that in the current regulations the first laps are the most important for the whole stint, if you attack too much in the beginning, the tires will die much faster that expected.
He mainly does this when it's Leclerc in front of him, as he's always very eager to pass him and 'establish' himself.ScuderiaLeo wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 22:08At least Hamilton and Leclerc have similar styles for the start, that is they both take no rush in pushing at the start because they know they're in it for the long haul.
Sainz can't seem to wrap his head around the fact the SF24 isn't suited for pushing on Lap 3. I don't understand why he does this to himself every single weekend.
That medium stint from Sainz was something out of a F2 driver's tyre managing play book. Not seen such a disaster class in tyre management since Piastri joined F1. And that's why he got put onto a hard tyre, no way he was stretching a soft 23-24 laps, his tyre management was tragic.dialtone wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 21:54That Sainz pitted with George shows the 2 are among the worst tire managers on the grid.Xyz22 wrote:https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GQxKVR7W4AE ... =4096x4096

Sainz is absolutely not one of the worst tire managers of the grid. The same is true for George.dialtone wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 21:54That Sainz pitted with George shows the 2 are among the worst tire managers on the grid.Xyz22 wrote:https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GQxKVR7W4AE ... =4096x4096

Right, I was perhaps exaggerating. But there's no way you don't include Lando in that. And I would say Albon also is very good at tire management after that race last year where he pitted only for the last lap.Xyz22 wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 23:09Sainz is absolutely not one of the worst tire managers of the grid.

They are better than all the other drivers that are not Leclerc, Hamilton and Verstappen.
Everything will depend on the air temperature and the track in particular, if it will be 30+ with no clouds there will be good chances
