Maybe the changes to the Imola Front wing and the floor have fixed the issue ?
Do we actually know if any changes to the floor were made? or they are using the revised FW. AMR didn't declare the changes on the upgrade list for whatever reasons.
Motorsport said they made some adjustments to the floor. They are using the front wing.

I remembered what was said last year about the issue of having to change parts every race between specs with the AMR23 depending on each circuit and how this year they wouldn't need to do it, that the AMR24 would have a bigger operating window and the intention was to make it work well on all tracks without swapping parts. McCullough was keen on repeating that multiple times if you recall.

Well as we know they had to drop the new front wing at Monaco and revert to the old spec for performance reasons. So that was a failure.

I'd buy that front wing comment at many tracks but Monaco? You just want the most DF no matter how dirty.

They fitted the revised imila front wing when the rain came in last 20 minutes of fp2
Imola front wing was used in all of FP2

They've also made some changes to that wing. The bottom 2 elements have a bigger gap.

Very impressive considering that we are still behind Mercs and Mclaren. Only 0,228 off amazing. Let's see tomorrow with the pace and tyre deg.

Anyone has long stint data from FP3 ?

solid solid considering where we have been. race will be interesting since minimal knowledge of tyres on long run and potential rain. we had good straight line speed

What a lap by Fernando.

What could be the reason of this sudden improvement? Understanding and modifications of imola upgrades?

Very nice laps from Astons. Alonso saved the best for last and impressive gap to the top, not too bad.

Crazy the dude went to media before the Qualy saying “When I look at pace right now, and speed, like I said, 4-4 in quali. People say he’s super good and I beat him the last few weekends, so take it as you want.”
