This small tyre window has been a problem since the start of the season, crazy.SoulPancake13 wrote: ↑29 Nov 2024, 20:04Charles really struggled in SQ2 with front tyre temps. Hopefully SQ3 goes better.
You people are pretty boring around here.
No excuse here, just stating what Charles said on his radio. It is clear at this point that Sainz is doing a better job with tyre warmup than Charles is, which you can see in their driving styles, hence why Charles has better tyre management.
I doubt Leclerc or the team would want to drive a new floor in the dying moments of a WCC battle if they didn't think it was an upgrade. He was clearly enjoying it in FP, but Sainz hadn't showed his hand.SoulPancake13 wrote: ↑29 Nov 2024, 20:27I don't think it was really an upgrade if they only decide 30 minutes before SQ to put it on. Still, credit where credit is due.
