🔥 Can't wait to see this!!

On the real though, Ferrari had a much lower energy deployment setting in the final stint. You can see this with the amount of clipping at the end of straights. (compound offset here) This is the case on majority of lap in stint 3, around 7kph down on average EOSS.

I tried to create a correction factor for fuel, compound offset and track evolution, to compare the stints which were done out of sync, but the truth is at the point I would be making too many assumptions, and that is worth nothing.

I will say that I think the gap is much, much smaller than it appeared today (2.5 tenths), but it safe to assume that McLaren are ahead at the moment, that includes the other 2 cars, in my opinion. The car in turns 4-8-10 clearly ahead. No balance limitations.

One thing to keep in mind is that we don't yet have a reference for temperature operating window, where Ferrari typically had problems in the cold last season. Bahrain is quite cold for this test. Whether this is solved or not, we do not know, but it is, potentially, partially a reason for inflating the gap.

Also consider that Pirelli themselves have mentioned the C2 much closer to the C3 than it is to the C1. C2 compound at the end, with track evo still ramping due to the sporadic drizzle throughout the session, is much better at the end of a race compared the C1.

They both did complete race distances so I don't think fuel load place a massive role in these race runs.

فراری تو استینت آخر تنظیمات انرژی خیلی پایین‌تری داشت. اینو میشه از میزان clipping (کاهش توان باتری در پایان مستقیمی‌ها) فهمید. این اتفاق توی بیشتر دورهای استینت ۳ افتاد و به طور میانگین حدود ۷ کیلومتر بر ساعت توی EOSS (سرعت انتهای مستقیمی) پایین‌تر بودن.

من سعی کردم یه ضریب اصلاحی برای سوخت، تفاوت تایرها و تکامل پیست ایجاد کنم تا استینت‌هایی که هماهنگ نبودن رو مقایسه کنم، ولی واقعیت اینه که این کار نیاز به فرضیات زیادی داره و در نهایت ارزشی نداره.

من فکر می‌کنم که اختلاف واقعی خیلی کمتر از اون ۲.۵ دهمی بود که امروز دیده شد، ولی منطقیه که بگیم مک‌لارن فعلاً جلوتره—و این شامل اون دو ماشین دیگه هم میشه، به نظر من. ماشین توی پیچ‌های ۴-۸-۱۰ کاملاً برتر بود، بدون هیچ مشکل بالانسی.

یه چیزی که باید در نظر داشت اینه که ما هنوز یه مرجع مشخص برای محدوده دمایی عملیاتی تایرها نداریم. فراری فصل پیش معمولاً توی هوای سرد مشکل داشت و بحرین هم برای این تست نسبتاً سرده. این که این مشکل حل شده یا نه، هنوز معلوم نیست، ولی ممکنه یکی از دلایل بزرگ‌تر نشون دادن اختلاف باشه.

همچنین، پیرلی خودشون گفتن که تایر C2 خیلی به C3 نزدیک‌تره تا C1. تایر C2 در پایان، همراه با تکامل پیست که به خاطر نم‌نم بارونِ پراکنده‌ی طول جلسه همچنان ادامه داشت، نسبت به C1 توی آخر ریس خیلی بهتر عمل می‌کنه.

هر دو تیم مسافت کامل ریس رو انجام دادن، پس به نظرم وزن سوخت تأثیر زیادی روی این ران‌های مسابقه‌ای نداشته.

Bro probably wants to get disqualified from the first race for minimum plank thickness, I think.🥸🤣

⚡️ Okay, some interesting news: Lando Norris had the lowest average top speed compared to Kimi and Charles.

Norris 297.56 Kph
Charles 298.24 Kph
Kimi 299.45 Kph

⚙️ What I see today is that tire degradation is much higher than yesterday. Drivers can’t set multiple fast laps in a row, and long runs aren’t as good as they were yesterday.
