feel like they should have used the new front wing to get more data and compare it to old spec with the new rear and beam wing

Takes me back to alpine days

Pedro de la Rosa: "We have not managed to cure the balance problems in curves"

"The car is still difficult to drive."

"We talk little about the jump of the other teams."
Balance was a significant issue for the SF 23 as well last year. Leclerc described the car as inconsistent both corner to corner but also "intra" corner, with the balance changing to oversteer and understeer "randomly".

Now i don't understand if they spotted these issues in testing or if they are a result of the upgrade package they brought.

Simply the old wing they are using has more downforce and is therefore better suited to Monaco

I think in Monaco Mercedes proved, that nothing wrong with that rear suspension...
In fact, it's just the scapegoat so as not to admit having worked badly. End of speech

Better balance, no word about DF. I fear the wing simply doesn’t work as it should.

Looking at ALO, how many laps he needs to set a competitive lap time, very unusual for him, I am more than pessimistic.

I don't they didn't use it cause it was a problem. I think this wing is just higher DF. No High Speed sections to take advantage of the other wing's abilities.

They've said it wasn't a problem for a while now. I'm not even sure they ever said it was a problem.

Any news on why Alonso's and Stroll's DRSs were disabled the whole FP2 ?

Did he go P3 with no DRS? They have the 3rd fastest car in terms of top speeds according to tweet above, so that can't be right?
