If cooling means the car is slow around corners, has poor traction and is unable to cope with bumps.... then yeah an easy fix via cooling improvements

Charles Leclerc looked set for his first ever victory in Formula One until an technical issue brought an end to that hope 10 laps from the end. He still limped to 3rd, completing the podium along the Mercedes drivers.

I just wanted to perpetuate Marco's rumor...and see if he's right..
- With their regular DF levels they'd have been annihilating Merc in HS corners that were barely there in the first placeyelistener wrote: ↑28 Mar 2019, 15:23Well, "rumor" also has it that because Ferrari knew they'd suffer engine power problem, they were forced to choose a low downforce setup at Aus GP for compensating straight line speed.
But from quali telemetry Ferrari was just as quick as Mercedes through high-speed corners, so that part of the rumor doesn't sound legit.
. How does number 1 combine with number 3?Just_a_fan wrote: ↑28 Mar 2019, 18:23Little facts given out by Formula One's site that are fun/interesting:
1. If Hamilton takes pole at this race, he'll have more poles than the rest of the field combined. Which is quite shocking, really.
2. Bottas has never been out-qualified by a team mate at Bahrain.
3. Vettel has most Bahrain poles in the current field, having 3 to Hamilton's 2.
4. Only Vettel and Hamilton have won at Bahrain in the current field. 4:2 to Vettel.
5. Ferrari have won 6:3 compared to Mercedes and only those two teams have won here in the hybrid era.
6. No RedBull driver has even led a lap at Bahrain since 2014 (i.e. in the hybrid era). They haven't qualified top three or finished on the podium in that time, either.
7. No one has ever won here starting outside the top four places on the grid.
Hamilton has more poles than the field put together , as in his total amount of poles. Not just in Bahrain.LM10 wrote: ↑28 Mar 2019, 18:39How does number 1 combine with number 3?Just_a_fan wrote: ↑28 Mar 2019, 18:23Little facts given out by Formula One's site that are fun/interesting:
