You guys don't get tired of reiterating the same things over and over?

The upgrades will come and we'll see what they are like. We don’t have to keep guessing with little to no data.
This was all very rushed on all accounts. Curious to see what the team can achieve.

Yeah....if this is realistic gap that upgrade isn't gonna do anything.

The sprint quali lap in Q1 at SPA was 104 seconds last year. 7% is 7.28seconds. It will likly be slower than that this year.

Newey expecting points after Zandvoort upgrades!

2s behind the Cadillac is embarassing...
Top speed in the speed trap in FP2 according to https://formula-timer.com/livetiming was 297 and 300, with Hamilton at 337 (probably a tow) and most of the others around 309-315.
Best speed across the finish line is 207, 10kph behind the next slowest, and Hadjar at 225.

I wonder what the B-spec car will look like with the wild performance gains they are hoping for.

Alonso hinted...he said something like "especially if we can have confidence in the corners!"

Again... They are running the same car from season start, with some additions for reliability. Nothing has been changed for performance.

This car is Version 1. 1 while the others started the season on Version 2.0
