Yeah, probably in anticipation of MCL and Mercedes bringing updates in the upcoming rounds too. The top 4 are not really in sync with their big updates, Ferrari esp. with the quick updates. The delta to the best is shifting constantly, although I'm a bit surprised at how much lap time these teams are finding with the updates, feels like they are progressing faster than in 22 regs, expected less with the simplified floors.
