We'd know for sure if we compared telemetries between the two to see where Stroll would be gaining time. So if anyone has it please post it, would be interesting.-wkst- wrote: ↑23 Oct 2023, 10:33We will see what happens in Mexico. I don't see the things as bright.
As aready mentioned, the team had a 2nd set up chance with the pit lane start, at a sprint week that's pure gold.
Then there is the question: is the car really faster (more DF, less drag, etc) or just more driveable (to help STR)?
Mexico in 2022 was a disaster for the team so who knows, these things sometimes repeat themselves. At least they'll have 3 FPs though with the altitude and how it affects downforce not sure whether that data is as useful.
That's a possibility as well. Would love to see telemetry comparison between the two in clear air on a lap with similar tyres, I think that would be more precise. Likely those laps Blandin mentioned are the most valuable for comparison.
The race distance filled the data memory. "In the middle section, Fernando and Lance were in a six to seven second row, without a car in between. We can draw extremely valuable insights out of it. We'll go deep into the analysis and then find out what's better: old or new car, "says Krack.
i hate how it's not definitive. also i wonder how much time they wasted on the diffuser winglet and if it will be backdiffuser wrote: ↑23 Oct 2023, 21:48The race distance filled the data memory.

Yes, Alonso used Qatar specification.selvam_e2002 wrote: ↑24 Oct 2023, 03:26could some on clarify who used old and new? is Alonso used old and Stroll new.
The upgrades definitely was working better than the old one. The question is why they did setup the floor so high at FP1 and Sprint race? After breaking PF they lowered the floor height and is made a magic. Os something to do with the structure of the asphalt or just they seen that not generating enough vacuum or other teams literally pulling the floor on the asphalt. I also wondering how work the 15mm lifted floor edge at 2023. Seems like some teams playing with floor heights .
Parc ferme was after FP1, with barely laps, so they played it safe (quote Krack AMuS). The plank normally has to survive Q + race. In Austin the plank had to survive a race, a sprint race, Q and Q shoot-out at a very bumpy track. HAM and LEC were dqed...OnEcRiTiCaL wrote: ↑24 Oct 2023, 09:15The upgrades definitely was working better than the old one. The question is why they did setup the floor so high at FP1 and Sprint race?
