Yes thats another explanation Marcush.
I did not see the times, so I only went on the limitied viewing of the race.
How much of an effect does the exhaust gas have on the rear tyres I wonder.
Great explanation marcush. but what went wrong after Thursday? They don't see this effect on longer stints in practice. That is the reason why they are so optimistic on Saturday.marcush. wrote: twhat you call wear is in my view an overheating situation.It´s not like Schumacher was on the pace and had to give way and pit because his rears were used up.He was dead slow after lap one and could not make any impression from the word go after the start ..maybe apart from overtaking Hamilton in loews but that was not tyre related.
Rosberg could only stay in the queue and his pace was bad from the word go ..So there was really something wrong which was not related to tyre wear.(Or did they both use just one set of supersofts in the whole qualy? that would be at least an explanation for these supersofts not performing anymore.
I can imagine that again they have no handle on the tyre temps especially the temperaturte spread front rear maybe it´s just they cannot have low enough pressures at the start to prevent the hot pressures to increase too much for a proper inflated shape at the lower speeds in monaco? In Qualy no problem there ,you live wiith the fact that your rear grip is gone after 2 laps but what to do when you need to go for another 12 laps?
The Qualy is fixing all major points of the race setup.So it is very likely it was decided to go one notch up with rear cold pressures .something you cannot really check in Q ,as you don´t have long runs.Adding to this with the red flag the session was also torn apart so maybe they felt the higher rear pressure would not hurt them too much?spadeflush wrote:They certainly must have made some changes in the cars' setups after Nico's crash. That might explain the mismatch between the drivers' expectations after practice and the actual race pace.
I think the W02 will fare better in Canada than Monaco. Monaco is really a very unique track and the problems faced there by MGP might not necessarily resurface in Canada. The team will have a tyre solution sooner than later. I still think W02 is better than the W01 but the tyres have messed up the results. What are the chances of the team bringing some "significant" upgrades for Canada?
Thats a possible hypothesis.Thats one confused team of engineers for sure.I wish for Michael's sake they get it right for once.marcush. wrote:The Qualy is fixing all major points of the race setup.So it is very likely it was decided to go one notch up with rear cold pressures .something you cannot really check in Q ,as you don´t have long runs.Adding to this with the red flag the session was also torn apart so maybe they felt the higher rear pressure would not hurt them too much?spadeflush wrote:They certainly must have made some changes in the cars' setups after Nico's crash.

An oversteery car with no rear end bite is a development of an understeery car with no front end bite?Raptor22 wrote: IMO W02 is a development of W01 and all the problems with that car were transfered.
