Almost looks like some kind of power surge coming out of the corner here on the replay, laying black lines of rubber just before spinning.

[diffuser]

Power deficit is still very noticeable, 303 in the speed trap with the second slowest, the Cadillac at 318. But the aero package looks like a big upgrade so far.

It sounded like they had a speed limiter set to 303KPH. As soon as it got close to 303 it would start to cut out, then back on, on and off,etc.

That suspension broke when he went down to grass while spinning, else it looked quite straight!!. Hopefully not that catastrophic structurally.

Not convinced mate, 15s in this it's like someone pulled the handbrake on

Wheel Spin on the right rear. Wrong diff mode and too much beans ? Maybe he broke the left rear suspension when he went off track. Looks like he breaks it at the 16 second mark of that video.

Well bad news insanly heavy vibrations when near top speed. You can hear the engine vibrating.

How? Engine vibrations are inaudible, you can only hear the exhaust.

I would say after FP1; HOPE

actually i think hes doing that to adjust himself in the seat better. he is still having to take his hand off the wheel on the straight to adjust his seating position too

No. You can see on the video that the tire is in an abnormal angle as he loses control.
The tire marks are because of the slide, due to suspension failure.

It's the left rear that failed, the inside, and not really under load coming out of that corner. But something could have broken in the corner before it or something too.

Looks like that... they are down like 20kph in top speeds, which was 10kph in Spa quali. So there's plenty left in the tank.

It was confirmed by De La Rosa that they ran using a limiter to check aero

So now:

- Alonso is "only" 2.5s off the first, along an Alpine
- While using an engine limitation / Still the old engine

That is hope I think. Really looking forward to see what Zandvoort brings

Newey saying stuff for monza and Baku as well

He also said the suspension failure was not related to the changes that have been made

I don't see that. I see tire marks from wheel spin on the outside tire that didn't break. Don't see anything from the inside tire. Anyways we'll find out the cause.
