Old news, Tsunoda already said DRS didn't work on Day 2 and didn't get to test his braking on the end of DRS enabled straights. It's what's testing is for and quite impressive for a rookie to be trying the limits like that. Lando can laugh all he wants, Tsunoda wasn't out to get the best time, just the best practice.
what is the use of testing a piece on the car in an incorrect way. everybody up and down the grid tests drs on the prescribed part of the track. if alpha tauri is doing something different, it gets pointed out, whether someone likes it or not.ispano6 wrote: ↑24 Mar 2021, 09:02Old news, Tsunoda already said DRS didn't work on Day 2 and didn't get to test his braking on the end of DRS enabled straights.

On the second day of testing, the DRS system was found not to work. On the third day of testing, the DRS was manually activated as often as possible and this had to be done at other points. This was already reported last week. He didn't do this to score faster laps.MKlaus wrote: ↑24 Mar 2021, 10:14what is the use of testing a piece on the car in an incorrect way. everybody up and down the grid tests drs on the prescribed part of the track. if alpha tauri is doing something different, it gets pointed out, whether someone likes it or not.ispano6 wrote: ↑24 Mar 2021, 09:02Old news, Tsunoda already said DRS didn't work on Day 2 and didn't get to test his braking on the end of DRS enabled straights.

He's testing and practicing his braking, how late he can brake without overshooting or locking up. He's a rookie with only a few days in a F1 car driving if at all in "anger". He was disappointed to be limited in the first two days, so he used the last day to get as much out of testing, which he did. He didn't crash the car or get in anyone's way, so good on him. Seems more that you don't like the fact he set a fast lap with his generous use of DRS by bringing it up.MKlaus wrote: ↑24 Mar 2021, 10:14what is the use of testing a piece on the car in an incorrect way. everybody up and down the grid tests drs on the prescribed part of the track. if alpha tauri is doing something different, it gets pointed out, whether someone likes it or not.ispano6 wrote: ↑24 Mar 2021, 09:02Old news, Tsunoda already said DRS didn't work on Day 2 and didn't get to test his braking on the end of DRS enabled straights.

You said: "what is the use of testing a piece on the car in an incorrect way. everybody up and down the grid tests drs on the prescribed part of the track. if alpha tauri is doing something different, it gets pointed out, whether someone likes it or not."

“And at the end of the last lap I lost power, so I couldn’t drive a normal stint.
“It’s good for the team to have data like this and not have issues like this on a race weekend. So it was a good, positive day as well, but I hope we don’t have issues like this tomorrow and I can attack and push normally.”
“We had a different issue almost every stint. Like not being able to use DRS makes a massive difference to the braking points.
...
“But it’s okay, I still have one more [half] day. I just have to forget today, reset my mind and drive my best tomorrow.”
using drs before the drs activation point is indeed, pointless. if it helps alpha tauri in some ways to understand something, good for them. it definitely takes sheen away from the glory runs. i am sure alpha tauri knows the best, more than anyone who is an ardent fan here. please stop trying to prove me wrong for a piece of information and let others make of it what they want to.ispano6 wrote: ↑24 Mar 2021, 22:34You said: "what is the use of testing a piece on the car in an incorrect way. everybody up and down the grid tests drs on the prescribed part of the track. if alpha tauri is doing something different, it gets pointed out, whether someone likes it or not."
Just that he wasn't testing it in "an incorrect way". You're making that assumption as is others trying to denigrate Tsunoda's use of the DRS.
I'll quote Tsunoda so that you are well informed.

You've made my point. Call it glory run, AT calls it testing.MKlaus wrote: ↑25 Mar 2021, 04:54using drs before the drs activation point is indeed, pointless. if it helps alpha tauri in some ways to understand something, good for them. it definitely takes sheen away from the glory runs. i am sure alpha tauri knows the best, more than anyone who is an ardent fan here. please stop trying to prove me wrong for a piece of information and let others make of it what they want to.
Clearly Yuki is the REAL deal!
