I'm glad it's not just me... I was wondering why every refresh takes 5 minutes to load
My theory is that Ferrari can't use max cooling for the brakes due to tire warmup issues which compromises the car in traffic.Space-heat wrote: ↑02 Nov 2024, 16:58
Do we know for sure the LiCo is for the engine. In Mexico it was for brakes, I think...
But if they can not optimize the settings, there is no point in leaving this SU, because in the race with such a lico we can not get to McLaren.
I agree, I think it is a Quali compromise for tire warm up. It is a shame as the Ferrari is great in the braking zones so we are losing due to the LiCo at the end of the straights and the advantage we have in braking. Hopefully they find something in the set up before Quali.JPower wrote: ↑02 Nov 2024, 17:59My theory is that Ferrari can't use max cooling for the brakes due to tire warmup issues which compromises the car in traffic.Space-heat wrote: ↑02 Nov 2024, 16:58

If its the engine, not sure what a new ICE will solve.
My understanding is that engines are "free". You pay a fee for your engines for the season, but engines over the limit are not included in the budget cap as they are already "paid for" through the aforementioned fee.
As far as I understand PUs are free if they break, but if you change working PU that didn't break you have to pay for it out of budget.bananapeel23 wrote: ↑03 Nov 2024, 00:14My understanding is that engines are "free".

It would have been ridiculous if you had reliability issues like Alpine in 2022 and had to shell out several million out of the budget cap for every engine blown.
