Nothing. I assumed your reply implied that Lando was running with a different rear wing to Oscar and that is not the case. The speed difference in the fastest laps each of them set in the race is not proof of the opposite because one of them had DRS that lap.
I think there are 2 aspects to this
I think you mentioned this in the other thread as if this is somehow revelatory. It's totally irrelevant at best, and probably the opposite of your point. SAI has no steering input either, he's following the racing line which PER isn't.
2-3 kp/h is all you need in this case.ScuderiaLeo wrote: ↑15 Sep 2024, 18:23I think there are 2 aspects to this
1- Leclerc was not confident on the hards which meant he was driving more cautiously. He said in multiple interviews there were times he was afraid of crashing. Logically we can understand this as he wouldn't divebomb since he was already on the edge.
2- McLaren wing issue may have given Piastri an advantage over Leclerc every lap when Leclerc was chasing him, which might've been enough to make the overtake impossible unless Leclerc was going for a very aggressive overtake (and we know he wasn't)
We can't be sure how much the so-called mini DRS impacted Piastri's pace, but I think with the info on hand we can put this one on both sides. It probably did have an effect and it probably did make overtaking more difficult but to say Leclerc would've passed him otherwise is just a big unknown.
Despite some people pushing an insane narrative in which the RB19 was "just" a strong car it was absolutely clear that it was insanely dominant, outside some outlier races.
And we will probably go back to the same boring domination after 2026.
I personally don't enjoy domination no matter which team is doing it. It was boring when Ferrari was doing it with Schumacher (although I admit, it's only boring in retrospective as I rewatched seasons a while back because I was too young to witness it myself )ScuderiaLeo wrote: ↑15 Sep 2024, 18:38I don't agree. I hope 2025 is complete Ferrari domination 20+ ahead of the pack
Oh really, that's the racing line Sainz was following ? Turn 3 is to the right is it ?dialtone wrote: ↑15 Sep 2024, 18:25

Racing line goes to the left of the track there, you can see LEC cuts diagonally as well because the following corner is to the right.
