Ferrari missed a great opportunity for Las Vegas. Recovery of 12 lengths over McLaren is positive up to a certain point as a constant Wake up lost in it speedway of Nevada. The British suffered in qualifying and also in the 300km, where they could never extrapolate. performance. Considering the US was where the track was most recently MCL38 they could have a problem, the picture became difficult for the red team with two races left. Starting next year Grandma Award of Qatar many Sprint Race Saturday starts with papaya colored cars in mind layout and features of an English car.
Extreme performance from Mercedes was partly expected. It was known that W15 they could grow at low temperatures. Nevertheless, no one expected such a big advantage in a race where German single-seaters really showed high performance. race Hamilton in that sense it is a perfect photo. the talent of Stevenage started from tenth place due to several errors Q3 which dropped him to fifth place. But his run was quite “simple”. a comeback that highlights his ability W15 managing scopes for both activation and usage window maintenance.
F1 only realized how to use Ferrari tires at the 3rd stage in Las Vegas
Se Mercedes it went without a hitch regarding the tire factor, we can’t say the same Ferrari. Year horse Rampant he had learned a lot about this subject in order not to fall into such a situation. And instead teamOf Maranello falls on the management once again combination. However, the department dedicated to vehicle dynamics has a face-saving excuse. The distinctive features of the SF-24 in relation to suspension schemes are now known. Under normal environmental conditions, Ferrari learned to limit tire degradation. Unfortunately, the kinematic qualities of the Italian car do not help at all when the mercury drops.
we played dashboard of the steering wheel Ferrari. The image below shows the values the driver sees on the steering wheel. Among them, the information about the wheels, which are included in the four boxes around the word “gear”, indicating the temperature difference of both axles of single seats. target determined by the team. First of all, it is necessary to remember one fact: when they pit lanethe wheels are far away catch necessary. This is because the tire heaters heat the compounds up to 70°. The remaining temperature, in the case of at least 30 ° Difficultis inserted between the tread and the casing, turning on the track, creating a proper hysteresis cycle where tire deformation occurs and tire grip increases.
Ferrari he could not perform this exercise as well as possible until the last stop. The drivers were informed about the actions to be taken to change the course of the race. Unlike the previous tire change, this time “slow access” actual. A measure that delays activation on the one hand and prevents overloading on the other combination reduces its useful life. In addition, to avoid temperature asynchrony on the front end, the red drivers have created something specific power management on left turns such as layout It “puts” more energy into the right wheel of the American circuit. Then A is assigned cycle time, odds 1:37.5sis considered the perfect pace to achieve the goal.
The most complex operation concerns the activation of the left front, tends to cool more than a tire on the same axle in straight lines. That’s why we choose to limit the steering wheel angle in the controlled sections. Acceleration stages were also monitored, slightly lifting the foot in certain places of the track to “not open the grains”. We are talking about a phenomenon caused by very low temperatures, this causes tire slippage, creates a layer of worn rubber that sticks to the tread, and wears down the tires. catch. Ferrari drivers have achieved their goal of stabilization surface temperaturea move that ensures the proper grip of a single-seater and, as a result, greater performance of the vehicle.
F1 Sainz’s alleged biased leadership has Leclerc fans suspicious
Leclerc he snapped on the radio. He has done so ever since Sainz would not respect the decided strategy briefing On Sunday morning, a tactic was assumed based on the course of the race. at 3 respite the Spaniard finds himself in front of him Leclerche extended his path after just returning to the track from his last stop run away. Charles was carrying out the above slow accessAt this time Sainzhe had already done most of that after four rounds. Because of this, he was faster and passed his team-mate without much thought, reaching the exhaust of number 16. That’s the reason why there was noise on the radio at the end of the race. It should be said within this scenario Man warning yes Sainzbut it does so late, when the overtake is practically already underway, with this message: “Don’t put pressure on him”.
Then there is another issue that needs to be resolved, which is when it happened Sainz passed Verstappen takes the third place. we relate controls everything The Iberian was 10th from lap 41 to lap 47 lift your leg by partially using the accelerator. Many assumed he was maneuvering Carlos was aimed at losing time to save Max close, always grant him DRS and be sure of it Leclerc failed to attack the Dutch in the lines. A bit of what he did last season Norris a Singapore. However, while defending him, it should also be said that the wall asked him for it in the 40th round. You can listen to the audio confirming the following: “Raise the advance to 10 to keep the front end sliding.“
It is necessary to remember this in the facts Sainz then managed to shake off the current four-time world champion F1by exact order of his engineer. Carlos he “obeyed” despite going through five rounds. Passes where he complains that he will be slow on the next lap as he improves his speed “Opening the grain.” Finally, another interesting note: barely Max He could no longer use his mobile wing, and at the end comes the overtaking Leclerc. The moment the wall said nothing, the Iberian no longer raises his leg on turn 10 and pushes hard for the remaining four laps. Given that the only real crime proven is passing to the detriment of a teammate after a stop, and the rest have a perfect alibi…
