Throwback to last year, when the slipstream made Gasly's Alpine self-destruct!💥(Not his fault)
⚫️Lap 13 (Reference)
🟣Lap 14 (Failure)
Strong tow from TSU, reaching 361km/h under DRS: the engine reached 12937rpm in 8th gear, then exploded! (Speed dropping, no power afterwards)

I estimated how much each car’s Power/Drag ratio improved with DRS: NOR’s gain was just ONE THIRD of RBR’s and HAM’s!!!
🔵RBR: 19.6% VER vs 19.9% TSU
🔴Ferrari: 11.3% LEC vs 20.1% HAM
🟢Mercedes: RUS 10.2% vs ANT 14.4%
🟠McL: NOR 6.7% vs PIA 17.6%
❌Less effective DRS
❌ERS deployment dropped with DRS

🔴Ferrari's wing (Monza-spec) is the least loaded among top teams: the front surface will be minimal once DRS opens! Enough downforce to heat the rears?
🟠McL's V-shaped lower plane preserves some downforce
⚫️Mercedes: much deeper lower plane
Ferrari and Sauber might beat ALB’s 369km/h! (Last year)

Radical Pie has a gazillion typesetting parameters that you can fine-tune to your heart's content. Here's all the stuff you can tweak for parentheses, brackets, braces, etc.

The fact that we had different strategies does not change this: compounds weren’t equal at all performance-wise!
🟡 Medium > 🔴 Soft >> ⚪️ Hard
Hards were dropped after poor pace, while Softs ran only as the mandatory second compound: Mediums had better degradation AND pace!

Curious if there's been a breakthrough in hardware that lets sensors work at higher speeds in autonomous vehicles. Sure, it's great if they can see further, but what about nearby vehicles on highways? Can these systems react quickly enough to avoid severe consequences of high speed traveling?
Waymo is hitting the highway — but can it handle the speed?

Medium-load setups on average, but with plenty of variety:
• Medium-low: Mercedes, Racing Bulls (better if dry)
• Medium-high: Aston, Alpine, Haas (better if wet)
Big design contrasts: ‘V’-shaped lower plane for McL/Ferrari vs full-width for Red Bull
