EPTIt might not even show up in CFD, if the initial ride height is semi-stable according to CFD, however a bump on the straight that triggers a brief diffuser stall causes the oscillations to start.

Sainz continuing his trend of crashing every weekend. Yikes. So many unforced errors. I'm not so sure about this track so far. That section near the end of the lap they talked up constantly the last couple weeks has not been all that great. It's like that section in Baku but without the risk of wrecking a car if you screw up and it kinda just ruins the flow of the lap. These cars are so big and heavy that they don't really flow through that section well at all so in reality they just have to slow down a bunch and trundle through a couple corners awkwardly. | ||

They now appear to be up there with Ferrari and Red Bull and their car seems better from the onboards I've seen. It's still bouncing a lot but not like they were before. They also brought a new rear wing that's supposed to help with their drag issues. We'll have to see tomorrow though whether that form continues once engines are turned up.

This year's car is just really bad at slow corners because it's heavier and has worse mechanical grip. They definitely look notably slower through that section than last year. | ||

At the same time though, I totally get why the race directors are enforcing this now. If it's true that some drivers were wearing clothes that aren't fireproof or heat-safe under their fire suits then that is an issue. They wouldn't want someone's clothes melting and making matters worse when it comes to medical care. Same with wearing rings and necklaces. We all saw what happened to Grosjean's hand in his crash. If he had been wearing a ring it might have been a much different situation. On a different note, it sounds like the track is having big issues. Not the event but the track itself. The people who laid out the tarmac didn't do a particularly great job and they've been having to patch it a whole bunch because the track is literally falling apart. Hamilton also mentioned that the track is very uneven and bumpy, which should not be the case with a brand new track. Drivers have been complaining about the track having no grip and apparently that is partly caused by the gravel mixed in the tarmac moving a bit. Apparently when some cars are going over bits of the track chunks of gravel from the tarmac are launching up behind them. | ||

And on cue, Mercedes' impressive Friday form has disappeared and they're back in misery town. Neither of them cracked the top 10 in FP3 and Russell's complaining of tire temperature issues. They looked good on Friday but it seems like yet again after the others optimize their setups a bit overnight and start running their engines closer to where they will be in qualifying, Mercedes always slips behind. | ||

Cars just look sluggish in slow corners, especially with changes of direction. The slow section in S2 is just awkward for this years cars. | ||

The lead Mercedes was still over almost a second adrift of the Ferraris. Aston could have had both cars in Q3 had Vettel not screwed up and missed out on Q2. Schumacher beat Magnussen again. Bottas continuing to outqualify the Mercedes in his Alfa Romeo will never get old. I noticed Croft was talking about Hamilton and Bottas for a second as if they were still teammates before he caught himself. | ||

He cannot get into any accidents this race , if Max is alongside into T1 , let him go , he just needs a full race with this car , to think about the little amount of laps he did in race trim is sad . | ||

Brundle: "we can see that DRS passes are possible here. Hopefully organic passes are possible too" Croft: "Yeah that was definitely organic." Brundle: *silence* In other news, Haas look fast. They did bad in qualifying but they're making their way through the field now. Bottas is basically in a class of his own sitting several seconds ahead of Hamilton and several seconds behind the frontrunners. | ||

The power of DRS might need some looking at. This is now the third race in a row with really obvious DRS trains hurting the racing a bunch. It seems that the people who start on an alternate strategy are generally benefiting from the trains since the tire performance differential isn't enough for the people who pitted to pass, causing all of these trains of cars with fresh tires to be stuck behind a slower, but not slow enough, cars on older tires that happen to have DRS. I'm not sure what they could do though. The only cars pitting early seems to actually work out for are the cars with huge performance differentials like Ferrari and Red Bull. For the lower half of the field, track position seems far more important for the first two thirds of the race than fresh tires. | ||

Also Ferrari first upgrades are coming , lets see what they got for us !!! Seems to me that the RB has had the straight line speed advantage in all races this season. I can't proclaim that it's solely because of the engine being faster tho, as the Ferrari seems to be running more downforce, making them faster in the fast corners, while the RB has more mechanical grip in the slow sections. Biggest issue with that Ferrari is the same they've been battling for the last 6 years tho: It absolutely shreds the tires. I don't know enough about downforce to tell you why it's doing that, but Max always has so much more life left in his tires towards the end of their lives, compared to Leclerc | ||
