Australia's Oscar Piastri has won the Bahrain Grand Prix for McLaren as if there was nobody else on track. Starting from pole he was never really challenged. Behind him, lots of action that eventually saw Russell battle his own car to finish second as Norris finished third.
I think this is just tire wear. The first two races were very cold even rainy, hard tire selection in Japan. Thus the big differentiator on the tires was not there. Expected to change this weekend.
If the first two races were boring, you might need to look into other series...but I fear this needs to be something like rally cross if you really want to see more wheel to wheel action.
because the main problem is the height at which they ride, the updates should allow them to ride as low as they want, from raising the car they lose approximately 3-4 tenths, which could quite easily allow them to fight with McLaren
The problem is...that is the problem of everyone and you simply do not solve a 3-4tenth issue with one update.Downforce777 wrote: ↑09 Apr 2025, 16:52because the main problem is the height at which they ride, the updates should allow them to ride as low as they want, from raising the car they lose approximately 3-4 tenths, which could quite easily allow them to fight with McLaren
as I understand the matter in the floor, I think it is quite possible that they can find 3 tenths, 3mm is very much for ground effect, they raise the car very much and lose a lot of performance, it seems to me that potentially Ferrari can become the fastest carbasti313 wrote: ↑09 Apr 2025, 17:28The problem is...that is the problem of everyone and you simply do not solve a 3-4tenth issue with one update.Downforce777 wrote: ↑09 Apr 2025, 16:52because the main problem is the height at which they ride, the updates should allow them to ride as low as they want, from raising the car they lose approximately 3-4 tenths, which could quite easily allow them to fight with McLaren
The issue is the interplay on suspension and floor...and...let us keep a secret to not spoil the party in the Ferrari thread...it is quite unlikely that they now bring a Mclaren at Miami style update that reworks all floor and suspension.
Its a possibility IF they recognise an error they've incorporated into design that effectively drives the negative positioning.basti313 wrote: ↑09 Apr 2025, 17:28The problem is...that is the problem of everyone and you simply do not solve a 3-4tenth issue with one update.Downforce777 wrote: ↑09 Apr 2025, 16:52because the main problem is the height at which they ride, the updates should allow them to ride as low as they want, from raising the car they lose approximately 3-4 tenths, which could quite easily allow them to fight with McLaren

And hopefully there won't be any disqualification for them after those upgrades.
There is no news or rumors on any upgrades on AMR, after all the hype for past 2 years, maybe they are more cautious... or since the new WT being operational recently, the possible upgrades may be still in production...
