I can't wait to see Pink W10.5Racer X wrote: ↑11 Mar 2020, 19:36Im eager to see Racing Point do what they do with a strong base. You have to assume they will be able to develop the car and fine tune the design enough to make noticeable gains. I expect they will have their development of this car done by Barcelona. Then we will just see them going to every GP with a car they fully* understand post Barcelona (i assume with a car with high reliability i assume their upgrades will be less experimental and more just fine tuning). As Green already said they will bring upgrades to this car quickly and then focus on next years car. So updates by Barcelona or even one more update post Barcelona makes sense to me. But im a little sad because well if they fully developed this car during an entire season they could really give us a show i cant wait to see the car at Baku, Monaco and other tracks where the car is less important and the driver has more impact. Because now our drivers have a car that will allow them to be close to the front runners.
I think Stroll will deliver, all this year's he didn't have in his hands a capable car but this year seems he has it. Perez is a very good driver imo even though a bit to the aggressive side. I wanna see max trying to pass Perez in the upcoming races.izzy wrote:I can't wait to see Pink W10.5Racer X wrote: ↑11 Mar 2020, 19:36Im eager to see Racing Point do what they do with a strong base.

i think a lot of people haven't tuned in to what's about to happen: the car we saw in testing is going to shrink around the W11 powertrain, and the rest of it is going to have taken more advantage of the W11 suspension as well
tho imo the drivers will be a bit of a weak spot, compared to the Big3 and McLaren and Renault
Well are* starting to have more of a team talk but yeah i can see the drivers being able to show their potential. Stroll should show lots of growth because he wont be *in* a car with zero chance to push the midfield. On the other hand Perez has achieved podiums with lesser cars. If Perez doesn't get a podium with this Pink Arrow it will be disappointing.
i'd really like Lance to come to life with as you say a good car, still i can't help thinking if he was on the level of Danny/Esteban/Carlos/Lando we'd have noticed. Checo i see as about Hulk level, istr they were similar as teammates, which is below Danny again. So i'm thinking they can be good enough, but if we're talking about top 5 or nicking places from a Ferrari they're a slight disadvantage. But let's see, if i'm right they might have a car advantage!!
Checo had podiums Hulk did not in more then one car. Also in the same car that Hulk did not. So the way i see it Perez is above Hulk just like Daniel was above Hulk, i think Hulk was overrated i think people took Hulks potential into account when considering how good he was. Where as with Perez they ignored his podiums as not* relevant when considering how good he is. Stroll is in a similar position as a Gentlemen racer where you have to prove your worth with podiums and even then it might not be enough. Was Perez a pay driver... Yes he was but at this point hes been the most successful midfield driver and still people think some one like Hulk was his equal. I expect podiums from Perez and hopefully Stroll as well how many i don't know. Hulk would be lucky to be compared to being as good as Perez. The guy has taken cars with no business being on a podium to many podium finishes. I wish the same luck for Stroll. i hope those boys can stand on a podium together or at least celebrate each others.izzy wrote: ↑11 Mar 2020, 23:19i'd really like Lance to come to life with as you say a good car, still i can't help thinking if he was on the level of Danny/Esteban/Carlos/Lando we'd have noticed.

Hmm.. Remember illegal suspensions can be ran in testing. Force India have been known to use active suspension in when they used to have in-season testing.. I am not saying they are using it in that photo, but they might be purposely testing the beaviour of the floor in this situation.. (possibly emulating standing water?).. I dunno.. But sometimes what you see in testing does not make it to the race.f1rules wrote: ↑11 Mar 2020, 16:02this car must be running the softest rear damper setup in history of f1, inverted rake with drs open

Funny thing is this car looks like a W10 on the outside but it handles very differently acording to track side viewers. Imitation can only get you so far they say.Racer X wrote: ↑11 Mar 2020, 23:11Well are* starting to have more of a team talk but yeah i can see the drivers being able to show their potential.

*I wonder how much* input is coming from Stroll about the car other then him learning.
Lets just hope that the experienced Perez is able to provide proper feedback that allows the engineers to properly develop the car. I mean the W10 was developed by a different team of engineers using feedback from Hamilton.
So who knows if our drivers were more a less just learning and in awe of what Hamilton had at his feet. Or if they were able to collect data that will help in the development of the car in order to fine tune it to be able to maximize the car for the Racing Point drivers.
The Force India cars until now had mostly been developed by Perez/& Friends but this one is a blank sheet for both RP drivers.
Is that right? Can you confirm that?
