2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Yas Marina, Dec 06 - 08

[Wouter]

And this is Ocon's helmet for his last race with Alpine in Abu Dhabi...... oh wait.
Rediculous, he is even forbidden to say goodby to the people in the factory in Viry next Tuesday as planed weeks ago!!
Slide 7 and 8:

[Farnborough]

Typical of such extreme self centred in character, pictures of himself

And so reluctant to see the bigger picture that he's driven his own career into a ditch.

Even Toto, who contracts him didn't take him to drive for Mercedes

[dren]

It’s wild to imagine that in 15 years at this track, Ferrari has 0 wins

Always kept folding and switched to development for next season, so they never arrived to AD with a car competitive enough

So what you're saying is they should fold and switch to development for the next season after next.

Tire starting pressure back down to "normal" here, with increased allowance of maximum camber both front and rear.

Should have some different consequences for the chassis and each set of attributes.

The surface is very flat here (left to right) hence some more camber possibilities, that fast section after #1 corner would likely benefit that's the left-right-left sequence. Also corner #9 as having the car sit continually hard on sidewalls like that can be enhanced more than some other sectors.

They don't appear to be concerned about tire durability from looking at those base settings, may bring some teams forward against MB pace in relative terms.

Who is most likely to benefit from softer compounds and lower tyre pressures?

One would think the teams with stiffer suspensions ?

Red Bull.

[AR3-GP]

What happened to races where everyone started on soft tires? Is that a casualty of Pirelli attempting to go softer this year with the tire allocations?

It should facilitate faster warming and more even performance over a stint. Cars with that need may advance over something else.

My Perception is that it should reduce compromise with ferrari and increase risk at Mercedes. Possibly advantage RB & McL too.

A 3 way fight for a win to end the season would be special. With WCC tensions, errors could be costly. Looking forward.

They changed the rules so the top 10 teams don't have to start on the tyre they qualified on.

Mclaren and Red Bull seem very indecisive

[AR3-GP]

The first lap last year with Charles and Max was great.

Mclaren and Red Bull seem very indecisive

it doesn't hurt to gather some data with the rookies, I guess. Verstappen and Piastri are both skipping FP1 anyway
