leccy is onto something.. his speed trap values is showing that he is going all out... with DRS and all.
Will Buxton has just said on live comms that paddock rumours are that McLaren are two seconds off where they want to be
i really find this hard to believe
does anyone knows the expected difference in lap times per tire for this year ?
Thanks tifossi1993
Do you think its possible the slow shutter speed is making it look like there is banding? If you look on the other images from this morning there is a time when he clearly has C1's on (ie no banding). I guess they might have changed the tires though.
Either way he's on the hardest or 2nd hardest tire and only 2.8 seconds off pole time from last years race which was set on the Super Softs I believe. Nice time for a new driver on only the second day of practice
Leclerc posts a 1:18.247 on the C3 tyres! Just one-tenth slower than Sebastian Vettel's fastest time from Monday.

There will be 1:17 today for sure SF90 looks solid and smooth.

16:19 I've been out watching all the way from Turn 1 to Turn 9 this morning.
The Ferrari looks very good and stable in the change of direction and the rear end in particular seems planted.
The Mercedes still seems better on the kerbs, at T7 for example and their traction is still excellent. Lewis also seems the most comfortable to have just a tiny lift through the ultra fast T9 despite carrying a decent fuel load.
The Hondas gearshifts and engine note seem audibly much smoother than last year and Im sure Gaslys on a decent fuel load as hes just pounding round and round with the Red Bull looking very consistent and balanced. That traditional strong front end in the medium/slow speed corners continues to be a characteristic and you can see how deep Gasly can go on the brakes into T1 and T4.
Of the midfield cars, the Alfa continues to impress as a consistently balanced car and looks particularly good in the medium speed corners.
That coat hanger wing at the back of the Ferrari wobbles like crazy. I thought these wings were being phased out by the FIA?
Autosport: 16:29 It's a 1m18.371s for Leclerc, so close! He's struggling to pull all the sectors together into a perfect lap.
'Struggling to put all the sectors together'?, really... Does autosport really think this is a qualifying and has to show hand in all sectors in the same lap.
Anyone know why some cars have green lights blinking?
Means nothing but still - it is good to see the three Ferrari engine cars on p1-3!!
thank you, i forgot lol, so who does the broadcasting through the early day? is it f1 tv exclusive?

Car looks good, still all talk of mercs doing there runs with heavy fuel loads but im glad leclerc is in such a groove already, Haas need to get a move on it, their team needs to do more laps. Whatever setup and improvements ferrari worked through with seb and through the night seems to suit leclerc too , which is good since having similar driving styles makes getting setups easier. Hardly seen any tyre wear and blistering yet which makes me curious as to how often they swapping out tyres for new ones. hopefully we have great tyre wear

I am back ^^ (coming from Viet Nam Country), This year car is so nice
Still no live feed that works?
So 2023 started off bad, but managed to claw back some lap time come end of the year. Lets hope SF24 will give us tifosi something to smile about.
Qualifying or not, this is a weak area for Charles. According to recent analysis by Motorsport based on 2018 qualifying performances, Leclerc was struggling to put sectors together in many Q3s and Vettel on the other hand was statistically the best driver in putting together all sectors in Q3.
Leclerc needs to work in this area as it could make a big difference in Q3 when teams are only separated by few tenths.
