Interesting interview with Zak:
Hungary was one I still have a big issue with as it was wrong on multiple levels and was the catalyst for the prioritise Lando calls. Randy seemed a bit sheepish and relieved that on the podium both drivers "sprayed him hard". They are both very good lads.
Thanks for sharing, great interview
Zak is brilliant to listen to, I can subscribe to a podcast led by him haha
Yeah, it was more of a story of how one team is pushing the limits more than a performance deal braker, and RBR tried to play the victim game considering that Ferrari fans will get sucked into, since they pushed the story that Mclaren won in Baku simply due to the Mini DRS effect, which was not true.mwillems wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2024 8:59 amSome analysis that suggests the mini DRS was almost unnoticeable in effect at Monza (About a single KPH) and would have had little impact at Vegas. It won't be without benefit, just very little. In Q almost none. Main benefit was Baku.

Definitely it was blown up outside of Baku. But to be fair, at Baku I suspect it was not minor. Assuming we ran enough df on a wing with standard flex then I think it may have been worth 5kph advantage, it could be the difference in Piastris overtake and subsequent defence.bauc wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2024 1:57 pmYeah, it was more of a story of how one team is pushing the limits more than a performance deal braker, and RBR tried to play the victim game considering that Ferrari fans will get sucked into, since they pushed the story that Mclaren won in Baku simply due to the Mini DRS effect, which was not true.mwillems wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2024 8:59 amSome analysis that suggests the mini DRS was almost unnoticeable in effect at Monza (About a single KPH) and would have had little impact at Vegas.

He might, but not from designing any aero. He's boss of the mechanical side.MTudor wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2024 11:23 pmmwillems wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2024 8:59 amSome analysis that suggests the mini DRS was almost unnoticeable in effect at Monza (About a single KPH) and would have had little impact at Vegas.

This gap in poles is hilariously painful. Ignoring that "lucky" weather-affected session in Sochi, they literally just had a car capable of pole for the first time in 12 years this season.
I expect we'll see his full impact on the suspension and mechnical side on themwillems wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2024 11:42 pmHe might, but not from designing any aero.
