Usually you hear it on the team radio. The strat modes are the PU deployment modes. After overtaking Piastri, Max asked the team if they wanted to change strat mode.PackFansXL wrote: ↑29 Jul 2023, 22:05How do you know this info?

I look at speed on straights and also follow mini sector times with official f1tv app or f1 multiviewer, then i look for patterns over multiple laps. For example in the beginning Ver was gaining 3 tenths on oscar on back straight, then on lap 11 gap would stay the same on that stretch. Not rock solid assessments obviously (i know) but it's how I interpret things. RB has a habit of turning down engines when conditions suit them.PackFansXL wrote: ↑29 Jul 2023, 22:05How do you know this info?

I know Newey is fantastic but do any RB fans worry about what the impact of Van Rees' departure to Aston Martin will mean for next season and beyond? If the FIA equalizes engine performance and essentially hybrid performance, then the only real distinction will be aero and weight.Wouter wrote: ↑27 Jul 2023, 17:09https://tr.motorsport.com/f1/news/aston ... /10500651/Aston Martin, Red Bull'dan önemli bir isimle anlaştı

Aston Martin signs key Red Bull name
Aston Martin has recently signed with Red Bull aerodynamic specialist Thijs van Rees.
Aston Martin declined to comment on the matter, but sources have confirmed that Red Bull's senior aerodynamic engineer,
Thijs van Rees, has gone to Aston Martin.
Thijs van Rees will take on the new "chief aerodynamicist" position at Aston Martin.
Looking at Van Rees' past, it can be clearly seen that he has been involved in big teams for a long time.
Van Rees worked at Williams Racing between 2013-16, and at Mercedes between 2017-20 and most recently at Red Bull.
Aston Martin's new transfer has started his new position as of July.
According to SoyMotor's report, Van Rees will replace Guru Johl, chief of aerodynamics, who has agreed to move to AlphaTauri.
Johl has been with Aston Martin/Racing Point/Force India since 2015 but will join AlphaTauri as of next season.
Interestingly, the times that Van Rees worked often coincided with the times when those teams were in their heyday in F1.
This makes him stand out as a successful aerodynamicist.

The only decision under consideration regarding the PUs is allowing the Renault engine to catch up. It's not a free for all for everyone else to make changes.PackFansXL wrote: ↑29 Jul 2023, 22:22

Apparently instead of developing renault wanted a simple fuel flow increase for them. That was never going to fly if true.AR3-GP wrote: ↑29 Jul 2023, 22:29The only decision under consideration regarding the PUs is allowing the Renault engine to catch up.

I don't understand how there can be a 3km/h difference between the two RBs. That's significant.
I can think of couple possibilities:
I understand this but if the PUs are essentially equivalent and the electrical side is essentially equivalent, then the only opportunity for innovation is aero and weight under the new rules. With active aero on the table, this guy could be a great equalizer for the AM team.AR3-GP wrote: ↑29 Jul 2023, 22:29The only decision under consideration regarding the PUs is allowing the Renault engine to catch up.

Convergence of pace is normally taking place during the years after introduction of a new ruleset. With RB employees spread over the teams that process is may be a bit accelerated. But imho still it would be difficult to surpass the leading team since they can work on the pace they have and find improvements, although the increments will be smaller (law of diminishing returns).PackFansXL wrote: ↑30 Jul 2023, 00:43I understand this but if the PUs are essentially equivalent and the electrical side is essentially equivalent, then the only opportunity for innovation is aero and weight under the new rules.

Perez was quite closely behind Leclerc in his tow on his second fast lap in Q3.AR3-GP wrote: ↑29 Jul 2023, 23:47organic wrote: ↑29 Jul 2023, 23:46
In sprint quali (ie no drs activations) the top speeds are as follows:
