That’s not how the math would work here, different parts could bring different amount of performance… Oscar could have gotten the 50% of the upgrade that creates the least of the most amount of lap time

Too much energy into the tyre. And that meant they couldn't keep it in the temperature window when cornering. It takes more energy to get the harder compounds into their operating window which can explain why Macca were so good on the medium.
You take turn 1, then you take turn 2, then you take turn 3 and by the time you reach turn 4 temperatures are off the charts ...
For 1 race
Too much heat and they lose grip and you slide. The biggest difference between tyres too cold and too hot is deg, cold tyres have a lot less deg than hot tyres
Are you sure? They looked better later in the lap. It almost looks like the tyres were cold and thus they had awful S1 but managed to claw it back after they got some heat into them? If they overcooked them it should be opposite, good S1 and bad later sectors.
Mclarens were awesome on Mediums. The harder the compound, the higher operating temp window. Softer tyres have to be treated with care on hot tracks, for McLaren this is definitely an issue. Tyres also cool down on straights so they can get back down into window in McLaren's case.FittingMechanics wrote: ↑03 May 2024, 23:32Are you sure? They looked better later in the lap.

Maybe the preparation lap was compromised or they just overestimated how hot it was.
