They are competitive currently. I wouldn't call Austria a false dawn. As you said on the previous page, it showed that the performance ceiling is high. They didn't have such a qualifying margin in the previous races. Now they have to refine the car. The RB21 will be the first real attempt to cure the weaknesses of the RB20 and there's no reason to think the problems are insurmountable.organic wrote: ↑04 Jul 2024, 23:53Anyway Austria was a false dawn. The upgrades may help a lot in terms of McLaren fight but suspension problems affecting curbstrikes, correlation with simulator and the fuel burnoff pace change still are fundmental issues. And decisions about the rb21 will be made in the background whilst the team are still searching for answers for these . Worrying times
And before it's mentioned the flexi-wing won't solve anything major. That's more of an extra to help balance the car.

Possible but I think it remains ongoing problem solving / searching for solution
BTW, I would love to hear more about the issues they had during the race. I think it was overlooked during the Norris fallback stuff.
My interpretation of the gear stuff was about charging his battery. As gear 7 has higher rpm and would charge up the battery faster. So running gear 7 giving up top speed but more regeneration was faster than staying at gear 8Paa wrote: ↑05 Jul 2024, 00:58BTW, I would love to hear more about the issues they had during the race.

At some earlier stages they discussed something about Gear 7, I think? I didn't understood correctly from the broadcast.
But it doesn't suggest suspension stuff, nor general balance issues?
And then they also discussed some other weird settings. Would be nice to get the radio transcript try to work it out what was going on.
Potentially some inboard changes to the suspension for Silverstone?
A flexier wing will bring a good 1 tenth alone, if not more. The effects it brings is insane, just look at what it did for Mclaren and Mercedes.organic wrote: ↑04 Jul 2024, 23:53Anyway Austria was a false dawn.

As I expected, "sources" and newssites making things up.
