He’s showed he’s pretty quick this weekend. Sitting behind Leclerc and/or acting like Checo would do him far worse. If you’re free to race, then race.
Well, so good luck to him to race in formula 1.5, in the top team without speed with such a attitude chances to get him a little bit small.
wheel deflector, should be able to fix it for the race with no penalty.AnotherAlex wrote: ↑20 Oct 2024, 01:25Was anything said about the piece that appeared to fly off Leclerc's car during his first run in Q1?
I think it would make a certain amount of sense for Ferrari - with two competitive cars - to split the strategy and do a tortoise and hair. Have Sainz push on the mediums for a two stopper and start Charles on the hards, hope he doesn’t lose too much off the line and try the one stop.
I think it is more doable than it's every been. The meds did 19 of abuse with seemingly no deg, some management extends them to 25 laps, that's 31 to do on a hard. Given the hard isn't absolutely horrible tomorrow, I don't expect it to be, I think a lot the deg improvement is down to the re-surface.
That's similar to what they did in Singapore and it worked out well. Also makes sense for their preferred race strategies.f1316 wrote: ↑20 Oct 2024, 01:40I think it would make a certain amount of sense for Ferrari - with two competitive cars - to split the strategy and do a tortoise and hair.

Leclerc was in no way wasting Sainz’s time during the Sprint, further confirmed by the fact Leclerc matched Sainz’s pace after being passed.AR3-GP wrote: ↑20 Oct 2024, 01:12Sainz has been the better driver all weekend. Leclerc has made a lot of anonymous laps in qualification sessions and was struggling and wasting Sainz's time in the sprint. It is only if you simply like him so much that you can't see the problems that you would blame Sainz for anything.
Looking at how the Speint went, I think only Mercedes will have to do 2 stops, Top 3 can all go for one. Track is at least 2.5s faster and there's less deg now, the only question is if some teams will have to stop at Lap 17-18 and if anyone will be able to extend all the way to 27-28 which will give huge pace advantage in 2nd Stint. Starting on Hards is also a no-no I think, it's not hard to get overtaken and you lose too much time starring on slower tyres and going long.f1316 wrote: ↑20 Oct 2024, 01:40I think it would make a certain amount of sense for Ferrari - with two competitive cars - to split the strategy and do a tortoise and hair.

Indeed, only Merc struggled with deg this yearscuderiabrandon wrote: ↑20 Oct 2024, 01:50I think it is more doable than it's every been.
