It's not how start but how you finish.
Suppose it might make the sprint a bit more of an event since it won't hurt your race on the Sunday.
Forza Ferrari
So what the purpose of this sprint sessions ??
FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!
Main straight DRS activation zone has been cut by 100m.
2023-->DRS activation2 447m after Turn20
2022-->DRS activation2 347m after Turn20
It's not how start but how you finish.
Ferrari are back with the double pylon rear wing.
It's not how start but how you finish.
RedBull have streamlined their sidepod air inlet and have a new mirror mount.....obviously for more high speed.
It's not how start but how you finish.
Once again, all the prior rumors about Ferrari's upgrades for Baku are proven to be false. Mercedes brought a new diffuser and a new low DF RW, Red Bull raised the sidepod inlet, Aston with a new low DF RW as well, Mclaren brought new floor and new beam wings.
Ferrari on the other hand brought the Bahrain spec low DF RW.
Edit: Forgot to mention Mclaren

Merc RB, Alpine, McLaren brought updates. Ferrari nothing....
to be fair, i keep reading over the last week that the team had desided not to bring any updates in Baku due to this "special" session format and no time to evaluate the updates. They only worked on various set-up configuration on suspension -aerodynamics-pu etc.
They say they are confident from what they saw. So i think that in the race we will see if once again they failed,not that they didn't draught any updates
FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!
So what is this new format? once cars Qualify on Friday for Sunday race, are they Parc ferme conditions? Can they change set-up for Sat sprint?
I'm surprised with your post. "It was clear", clear to whom? Only you I guess.
RB and Mercedes brought hefty numbers of upgrades. Go check the FIA website you'll have your answers. Ferrari only brought the Bahrain low DF RW.
In this current age of simulation and CFD's, it is comical to suggest that teams need "time" to verify upgrades. Do you think RB and Mercedes blindly put new parts on their cars?
IF (??) This is more or less the pace , not bad for un non updated car to the updated fastest car !!!!
BUT we will talk on Sunday night.
FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!
Charles is a king around Baku
Even with a car that 0.2-0.3s slower than Red Bull I'll still expect him on pole there
P2 in the only FP session for Charles and P4 for Carlos, I'd like to think we're not being given false hopes, best of luck for a decent weekend for a change.![]()
