It seems pretty plausible to me and is basically still a carry over from the TD. Tl:dr: They need to find a way to run the car at the intended ride and if they do (easier said than done) everything drops into place; if they don’t, it’s a compound effect (ie lack of downforce which makes the tyres slide, exacerbated the harder the tyres are given working window).
When was Charles compromised in Jeddah? And the hard tyre… everyone else managed the hard fine, so it was either cope with the hard, or do 2 stints on the soft. Or med - med - soft. But the car didn’t have the pace to do that many fast laps on the soft to a) beat the loses from pitting again b) the pace to catch the others up, even if the tyre was the hard.Vanja #66 wrote: ↑22 Mar 2023, 09:34It's not about the concept you see on top, it's not a W13. It's about getting it into the right working window and about Sainz being incapable of getting anywhere near the car's potential. We're yet to see an un-compromised race for Leclerc to get an idea where the car is at. Sadly, the strategy errors are still there and the pit wall is still bad, Hards for Leclerc were an obvious no-no, but they still did it.

Don't agree with this point of view. But I've never really liked Mark Hughes' way of looking at things. He's trying too hard to mathematically analyze things and forgets to look at the big picture.Sevach wrote: ↑24 Mar 2023, 16:32https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/arti ... d3326f3137

Why pit him then when in 4/5 laps more he could've gone for mediums? Stroll was of 0 concern in my opinion, if you had a pace advantage overtaking was a foregone conclusion, nothing the guy ahead could do, optimizing race time should've taken a much larger precedence over covering opponents(in my opinion this is an area where Ferrari strategists are particularly weak).
Despite the fact that i posted this i also think it's quite a "creative" view of the situation.LM10 wrote: ↑24 Mar 2023, 16:59Don't agree with this point of view.

Ferrari has not overheaten it's tyres in Q3 and it's not true that Leclerc had less apex speed than Perez in the later stages of the lap. I also disagree with his claim of Leclerc having done an "acrobatic balancing act between braking, cornering and throttle use" to come close to Perez' lap. Instead of thinking of the possibility (also backed up by telemetry) that the Ferrari has got some downforce, he comes up with this explanation.
You either extract the current potential out of the car or you don't. You can't go faster than what the car is capable of. I don't think there was much margin left in Perez' lap either.

It seems absolutely absurd to reverse a TD, especially mid-season, but I do suspect they’re desperate for this not to be a redbull walkover as teams have been whinging about. Anyone able to confirm?
