I'm a little flattered and also impressed by Alpine's tweak to their rear wing end plates. I hope it works out for them!
Why? What have they done that has flattered you?
I don’t understand the use of the word flattered in that context either.

Unless he designed those RW end plates?

That’s now a Heart Bleeding corner! You’ve gotta envy the dingers that can slam a racer through there.

The RedBull doesn't have the small circle stickers like Aston martin, RedBull has black and white chequer squares

And the first look from the rear facing camera looked like the RedBull rear wing was moving a lot less that it was in spain.

We could be seeing Monza 2019 Q3 or 2020 Q1 this wknd. Tow seems to be a bigger factor this year. if teams want to play the tow game, the super long outlap at Baku will only make things worse.

Max lost 2 tenths , using DRS with a tow in the final sector using a more rigid rear wing . Or so it appears

Merc is still struggling with tyre warm-up and like in Portugal, it seems that they will require 2 laps to heat up the soft tyres even if the track temp is 48 degrees Celsius, as we could saw with HAM at the start of the FP1 ...

On another note, BOT is running the lower downforce RW setup which is some 10km/h higher at top speed compared to HAM ...

OK, so we've had Mazespin so far this season. He seems to have fixed that to an extent now and well played to him, so is Yuki SPINODA our new superstar?

I`ve heard that in FP1 they will check the new RW design for France which is obviously the right thing to do, don`t you think?
