oversteer could simply be temperature.
Come 20 degree temps, the front could be better than the rear.

More teams have hit trouble in the final day of pre-season testing at Barcelona. At a moment when one would expect reliability issues to be nearly ironed out, the lack of running for some teams was surprising.
Yes.They seem to be ironing some things out. Ferrari and Mercedes are confident.
Ouch! Poor GM7 , all that work for what. Manoah to burn it down in an instant. Haha, nah im sure he will realise its good for someone who just whipped it up quick for the good of the forum.GM7 wrote: ↑27 Feb 2018, 23:34This isn't the FOM designthis is just an Excel document made by myself, i use a police who looks like the FOM
That depends: If it's quickly made on Excel by a forum user, it's perfectly fine. If it's made by FOM, who recently seems to have invested big in a new graphic identity, then it's unacceptable.
oh dear lord i sincerely apologizeGM7 wrote: ↑27 Feb 2018, 23:34This isn't the FOM design
No, that would be speculating. We don't know, you don't know. What we do know is that testing is limited. Very limited. There are going to be new tires this year, new compounds. There's a big fat and heavy halo now high up. For McLaren, there's also a new engine in the back, likely new cooling requirements, packaging etc. What do you think would be ideal? Sitting in the garage with limited running time knowing that something didn't go according to plan and failed OR being out there and collecting data on tires, aero and other things?DFX wrote: ↑27 Feb 2018, 23:24Being factual would be trying to access the reasoning behind the lack of running in the 2nd day instead of panicking and looking for someone to blame.Phil wrote: ↑27 Feb 2018, 22:29No, it’s called being factual. Most pf us want to see McLaren do well. Sitting in the garage while others are out driving despite less than ideal conditions isnt “according to plan”.
According to plan is what the top 3 have been doing. Being outthere, gathering data, simulations, learning.
Sitting innthe garage because a fault did occur is a perfect example of something NOT going according to plan. If it did, nothing would have failed in the first place.
It doesnt mean they cant recover, but it is what it is.
Is not ideal, but this is what pre season tests are for! To find out those kind of issues before the season starts.
They did 105 laps the first day and 67 on day 2 even with time out early to fix a fuel leak for a total of 172 laps. Red Bull like everybody else are just finding the cold weather a bit difficult to deal with. Oh and they were only 0.3 second off the mercedes on the same tyre. Maybe in 2019 F1 testing will head to jerez where it is 10+ degree's warmer.
except for the wheelnutsRonDennis wrote: ↑28 Feb 2018, 01:19Are people seriously comparing times. The top guys will do 1.15's, times are completely irrelevant with these temperatures. The only thing they can really check at the moment is aero. Engine reliability with these temperatures don't say much either. McLaren should feel lucky that they are being hit by these problems on these cold days. With the technology's the teams have these days I highly doubt that there will be fundamental problems with the design of the cars.
According to Boullier it was fitted wrongly.johnny comelately wrote: ↑28 Feb 2018, 01:44except for the wheelnutsRonDennis wrote: ↑28 Feb 2018, 01:19Are people seriously comparing times.

Or they installed everything correctly lol
