This is an excellent track to fight for 9th and 10th position (if the first 4 teams do well). I mean until September there is nothing to be happy about, they had declared that silverstone Austria and Barcelona they were difficult matches, another championship from Hungary. And instead we are at the same starting point, but I mean are you happy with something like this?Me not at all, I don't let myself be fooled
I am not happy but this track should be better.....next year new WT and secret Adrian Newey help will make for a better yearSherrinford wrote: ↑22 Jul 2024, 19:15This is an excellent track to fight for 9th and 10th position (if the first 4 teams do well).

Alonso's race numbers are always gonna look bad cause of when he pitted on the first stint. When the car is at it's fastest, at the end of the race, his tires were the worst.
The upgrade in Hungary was to solidify the car's improvement in flowing corners and medium and high speed that the car already had. Mind you the car had pace to qualify above one Ferrari and Mercedes if it wasn't for the red flag. Starting on softs was a bad idea cause after the first set of pitstops, Alonso and Stroll did not have any clean air when they put on new tires and was always stuck in traffic(importantly behind a Haas which is at least 5kmph faster in a straight line than any other car). Both cars where miles faster than the RB and so Hungary doesn't really show their true race pace. Importantly there was no pace drop off however the Hard tires did not work on the car as well as it was supposed to so that's a head scratcher.
The pace of RB can't be judged properly as TSU did a 1 stop strategy. RIC is substandard nowadays.Ashwinv16 wrote: ↑23 Jul 2024, 00:53The upgrade in Hungary was to solidify the car's improvement in flowing corners and medium and high speed that the car already had.

Spa upgrades will bring the much needed traction improvements that the car has lacked all season. Don't know what the upgrades are though.
De la Rosa said nothing is on the radar upgrade-wise before summer break, but DLR is also getting paid by AM so lets seeAshwinv16 wrote: ↑23 Jul 2024, 00:53The upgrade in Hungary was to solidify the car's improvement in flowing corners and medium and high speed that the car already had.

Seems like Aston problem in the tyres. I mean they can be fast Ferrari and even faster ,but the tyres after 2 laps say,no thank you. I wonder how other teams keep alive the tyres ?I wonder what was the Redbull illegal thing and what McLaren try to do with the (illegal) holes at brake covers. FIA obviously keep again everything under the blanket....No transparency at all!Sherrinford wrote: ↑23 Jul 2024, 11:32Better not to have updates, first we need to test these new ones in my opinion.
