Following his sensational lap in Saturday's qualifying which saw Charles Leclerc claim a shock pole position for Ferrari, the Monegasque endured a heartbreaking result at the Hungarian Grand Prix despite his impressive pace during his first two stints of the race. F1Technical's senior writer Balazs Szabo delivers his latest analysis in his column branded as F1MATHS.
This forum contains threads to discuss teams themselves. Anything not technical about the cars, including restructuring, performances etc belongs here.
Some suggest it is an “escape,” given the unresolved issues of Ferrari’s V6 turbo, which has pushed extreme boundaries of combustion pressures and temperatures, requiring interventions on cylinder heads to avoid reliability failures.
Outdoing computer expectations is not easy. And seeing a 12° delta lower on the tire barely trying via a tiny change!
I bet they understood, you don't become a 7-time world champion by luck :
Unless the data on F1insightshub.com is wrong, I can't see how this guy's YT video is accurate at all. Of course there is no steering trace on this website, but things like throttle, brake and speed traces point the exact opposite of what that video suggests. I specifically looked at lap27, and can see that the claim in that video is wrong. Then looked at lap26 and lap28 and it's the same story there as well. Then I took lap5 where LEC was slower than HAM, as he had finished off his battery in the fight with Piastri and was on recharge without DRS, while HAM had DRS and was 0.5s faster than his teammate. Even there, HAM is losing time to his teammate through the Lesmos. I tried finding a random lap where HAM was faster than LEC through Lesmo2 (as the video claims) and gave up after a few attempts, because that wasn't the case. If the guy who posted the video can actually come up with the data trace that shows that what he is alluding to is true, then I will believe that video.

What is the source of those traces?
In recent years I have seen people publishing these and I can only guess they are compiled from screen grabs of the onboards? Otherwise does the FIA publish the telemetry?
