What have they actually fixed, with them being so slow

So we can all agree that the car is fast in High Speed Corners, has fixed that weakness in Slow and Medium Corners and now needs to fix all this Drag from Straight Line speed.

It is strange though. Last year the car was the best in straight line speed and in mixed conditions. What happened this year?

As I said according to the rest here their weakness in slow and medium speed corners. All they need now is drag.

Would love to be a fly on the wall in that debrief , pretty sure the words moronic and idiots will be used repeatedly.
Screwing one driver can happen, completely --- both takes a special kind of moron to accomplish

To be honest, with the difference in Baku being over 20 kmh we can safely say that the drag is somewhat of a fundamental issue for this car rather than setup related. They are losing the equivalent of over a second on the straights in a short track like Canada, so that's another sign it's pretty bad.

At least they are very good on slow speed corners now, but if the drag and the low speed performance are mutually exclusive for us at the moment then that's very bad news.

Because they deliberately screwed both drivers intentionally didn’t they?

Stuck behind Albono. Who is a nightmare on the straights. So that’s NOR race now well and truly skewered. RIC can’t get anywhere near the guys ahead. Tough afternoon

Luckily that’s not the culture in the team… To assign blame and call names, they leave that to some self called “fans” :)

He will make the overtake… But it has to be quick, because the tire advantage won’t last forever

Nobody does that intentionally , but it’s still a massive F up on the teams side, did you say the same thing with russel in Bahrain a few years back, it’s not massively difficult to know which tyres to put on a car

I don’t claim to know how to drive a F1 car, but I’m pretty sure I know the difference between yellow and white
