In 2024, the temperature was about 15 degrees, a colossal difference from 2 today.

Ah, but as John Mayer said, sometimes the only way to make genius appear is to be mad..... I paraphrase, but you get my drift.
Last year the shakedown of the SF24 was also a filming day? Coz had it been the case so there`s a big tyre difference now for using demo Pirelli tyres at this time ...Emag wrote: ↑19 Feb 2025, 14:29
They are saying Leclerc managed a 56.0, but no official timings yet. If that's true, it's almost 9 tenths faster than the launch spec SF24. If we assume Ferrari gained ~0.5s during on-season development last year, then that 4 tenths simulator number is spot on.
(Small caveats apply with temps being >10 degrees cooler this year at Fiorano and me having no clue how much did Ferrari gain exactly from Bahrain -> Abu Dhabi)
He's a sicko! The suspension is being abused by him, being positioned in ways no wishbones ever should be
0.4s faster on a lap that is not even a minute would be 0.7s in theory on tracks like Spa. We have to see. 2 degrees is from my knowledge also way too cold for tires.Emag wrote: ↑19 Feb 2025, 14:29

The 1 to 1.5 seconds rumours must be true than lolChaoz wrote: ↑19 Feb 2025, 18:350.4s faster on a lap that is not even a minute would be 0.7s in theory on tracks like Spa. We have to see. 2 degrees is from my knowledge also way too cold for tires.Emag wrote: ↑19 Feb 2025, 14:29

If these factors would be true, the SF-25 would be a phenomenal step forward from Abu Dhabi 2024 to season start 25.
