A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.
Stoffel had a Floor Change in FP1, this looks mor like Mechanics loading a Floor on the Truck than getting it out of it. So maybe that's the old Floor. But of course i don't know that.
I don't know for sure about the chord on the FW, I think it is correct. Checking pictures from qualifying I noted the color difference in the lowest element. Fernando and Stoffel again on different parts?
Fair to say the chassis is very good now, Alonso believes it is 3rd best and I am inclined to believe him, can't wait to see if Honda can come up with the good's to push further up the grid!
They only tested the Blown Axle in one FP right? So more things to come, since EB said all the Updates are working it must have been for evaluation of the Design Route to go. That was a rather big Package for Spain and correlation seems to be Spot on. Nice Job on pushing hard on the Upgrades.
seems they added a cut in the outer diffuser wall, like most other teams. They brought a new floor so maybe the design is completely new, i havent checked
