Ferrari don’t know what they’ve tried and what they have in their pockets but with the GPS it looks very “Obviously they’re using a very watered down machine map, so be careful with them. And Mercedes, Russell was there. We focus on ourselves, finding the best possible balance and maintaining the loads.”
“Alonso said: In Free Practice 3, be careful, because you can compromise the weekend. This Free Practice 3 is not very representative of how the track will qualify.”

The load on a car, if you take out the wing, the bottom The flat bottom and the wings attached to the diffuser are going to start working differently. So you’re going to make the flat bottom not work as well. Well, we can’t take the load off to get a point because we’re going to lose a little bit of the load under the car. We keep this program and he will not lose trying to get maximum points. is very good in the fast corners, in the first sector, very good in the fast corners and It is the best car in the first sector , but the rear understeer, it had a lot of grip. That’s what we’re trying to look at and have the perfect height settings.”
