The post spanish GP car bounced in high speed corners.Vanja #66 wrote: ↑04 Sep 2024, 20:12I honestly don't know what's not to understand. Of 8 remaining tracks, Ferrari had issues only in Qatar last year. Even when Baku was early on and peaky SF23A was still used, Leclerc was competitive vs Alonso. Their floor works differently to other top 4 cars and after the floor edge rule changes of last year, they struggle with long-radius corners. Only Qatar has lots of them in the final 8 races.AR3-GP wrote: ↑04 Sep 2024, 20:02I don't understand what you are saying, but COTA is absolutely a test for the new update package. The old car would not have suited that circuit. The old car would have suited Baku and Singapore regardless just as it suited Monaco and just as the SF23 suited those tracks (Baku/Singapore).Vanja #66 wrote: ↑04 Sep 2024, 19:49It's long-arched corners where Ferrari faced problems these 2 seasons and, of the remaining 8 races, only Qatar has those in abundance. I'd argue Baku and Singapore are quite relevant for the rest of the season. If they can match and fight McLaren in both those tracks, they will be fighting for podiums everywhere else too
If you are arguing that 90 degree corner street tracks would prepare them to battle for podiums, then they should have fought for podiums after Monaco. You know this. Stop just trying to disagree with me.
The new floor is a correction for that package so COTA is a test.
