Maybe, it's just me that's thick...What are we looking at? What's on the X and Y access ?

Daaaaayum... The consistency of the Macca laptimes is unbelievable.
Mind posting a link to the original Reddit post here?

He seems to be suggesting they left quite a bit of performance in the locker(PU wise at least),
Unless I'm over reading,
Very encouraging methinks.

Not strange if they are purposely driving to a Delta, actually positive since it means the car is consistent and stable enough to allow the drivers to deliver consistent lap times.diffuser wrote:
You don't find it strange that the time varry so little on different fuel loads through 3 test days and a night with varying temps (different track temp)?
I would find those strange for Macca in FP1 or FP2.
In other words, pecking order from last year. I suspect this is based on cherry picking data to fit their expectation.SmallSoldier wrote: ↑16 Mar 2021, 20:28From Fomula1.com... Race Pace after testing:

Perhaps keeping pace on hand? Ricciardo didn't have a lot of degradation on his runs.diffuser wrote: ↑16 Mar 2021, 21:53

Probably Engines Modes... My take from the article is that they haven’t yet stressed the engine, so there are still question marks in regards to how the car will react when the PU is pushed, if the cooling targets are met.Macklaren wrote:what could "things to work on with the PU" mean? aren't the engines homologated already? is he talking about mapping?

They probably have different gearing ratios so maybe optimising the PU around thatMacklaren wrote: ↑16 Mar 2021, 22:07what could "things to work on with the PU" mean? aren't the engines homologated already? is he talking about mapping?

I'm confused about the data shown. It shows that softs and mediums were slower on average than hards. Also all the times seem to be too high, 1:36 and above.
