Now we know why they brought that rear wing.

My theory in the mud

using old rear wing to collect data from the rear as they know exactly how that wing behaves?

It's for the floor, rear brake ducts and all that stuff. Nothing to do with the wing. The wing is just holding it.

Indeed. My point is that which wing you have on will affect the flow through the floor, rear brake ducts etc.

They use the wing they're very familiar with the aero characteristics of to remove the rear wing variable from this

removing that thing took 8 minutes longer than they expected btw, according to Krack.

Fernando on his fast lap attempt on the soft tyre made a mistake at turn 12 when he was running two and a half tenths slower than Max after the 2nd sector, it was a similar mistake to Norris. Not bad but still too early to judge.

I believe that he was 0.051s in S1 and 0.237s after S2 to max in P1. Similar loss again would put him p4-6 range just behind Perez

We don't know what fuel or engine modes that anyone was on anyway. It's FP1.

are both drivers using austin spec. or is fernando still using qatar spec?

Stroll's fast in S1/S2 but slow in S3.

[KimiRai]

Many mistakes today, maybe aggressive setups or finding the limits, Stroll seems more at ease so far (maybe because he drove a full race distance in the new car?)

[SSJ4]

maybe the updates are more suited to lance driving style. alonso still adapting to it?

Left front tyre is stuck on Lance's car sadly, they're using a hammer to remove it

For some reason he aborted the lap and returned to the pits, so we won't have a full lap on softs from either driver.

[SSJ4]

we looked slow in race simulations

[xReVo]

Reluctantly slow in pace and in the single lap. It will be another sad weekend unfortunately

Stroll is out of the car, session over. Fernando is still going.

The universe works in mysterious ways.
