Is it coming from Vettel? what is the source?fritticaldi wrote: ↑09 Feb 2021, 11:32Early reports indicate that the similator tests done by Sebastian Vettel have concluded that the new car isnt suited to his driving style. Apparently the rear of the car dances in cornering. Vettel has struggled with cars that arent tailored to the way he drives. We will get the full picture in the upcoming pre-season tests.
This would be the car that's effectively an updated W10, would it? That car was well known for being unstable. Renowned the world over for being rubbish in corners...fritticaldi wrote: ↑09 Feb 2021, 11:32Early reports indicate that the similator tests done by Sebastian Vettel have concluded that the new car isnt suited to his driving style.

That recent James Allison video saying how the floor change would put the Mercedes last if they didn’t try and regain the downforce makes me wonder how this will affect a car that copied it but is also still trying to understand the design.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑09 Feb 2021, 16:15This would be the car that's effectively an updated W10, would it?

IIRC, Seb took engineering classes while at RBR in order to communicate better with his engineers.Big Tea wrote: ↑09 Feb 2021, 23:43Just trying to think when was the last time an engineer won a F1 race?

He didn't win, but I think Kvyat has at least a BEng.Big Tea wrote: ↑09 Feb 2021, 23:43Just trying to think when was the last time an engineer won a F1 race?

That's been pretty obvious in all the years looking at Vettel's dedication for technical aspects and his understanding of that. I hope that's not going to be missed so much at Ferrari, but sadly I fear it will to some extent. At least for a certatin period of time.fritticaldi wrote: ↑09 Feb 2021, 19:18The CEO and Team Principal of Aston Martin Racing , Otmar Szafnauer has said that Its like having an engineer driving with the input from Vettel.
