What is hilarious is the fact that raising the car for better compliance over the bumps will help them if the race tomorrow will be on a wet/damp race, although the balance is all over the place due to the lack of the second free practice session, according to HAM ... hopefully, they did some sim work done back at the factory after the sprint race in order to get the balance right ...
One thing I don`t explain: HAM set the fastest speed at the finish line - 347kph -, presumably due to a fabulous tow, but at the speed trap he recorded just the 9th speed being on par with RUS at 325kph ... maybe someone could enlighten me, please ...

Lewis always seems to have great pace at the end of races and when in free air. The problem is he’s usually in traffic due to bad quali, drs trains and the car seems to be very slow on heavy fuel.
