👀Here is the result:

🟠 McL had the lowest qualifying top speed (340km/h) and the highest race median speed trap value.

🔵 PER had a significantly higher median speed trap value than VER despite running a more loaded wing!
⬇️
Traffic (tow+DRS) impacted the speeds significantly!

The Data!👉

🔴Ferrari and 🔵RB had similar top speed:

-PER 22km/h faster when overtaking LEC
-LEC 22km/h faster when overtaking PER


While being overtaken, Leclerc's🪫battery emptied➡️He lost 13km/h!

PER didn't have that problem, so LEC had to overtake under braking!

Rear Wings for Abu Dhabi GP! 👀

Medium-load on average, to combine good downforce with acceptable drag👌

🔼Higher load: RB, McL, Haas
▶️Intermediate load: Mercedes, Alpine
🔽Lower load: Ferrari, Aston, AT

Aston will test two different wings💡

Aston Martin is evaluating two rear wings for Abu Dhabi GP!

Lance Stroll has a conventional DRS plane and a shallower lower plane.

Alonso has a cut DRS plane (but the additional Gurney Flap should give back part of the downforce) and a deeper lower plane.

Characteristics of Abu Dhabi GP💡

- Frequent stop-go➡️Traction/Braking are important
- Medium downforce (compromise between high downforce and low drag)
- Softest compounds (C3-C5)

My prediction:

🔵 RB> 🔴 Ferrari= 🟠 McL> ⚫️ Merc> 🟢 Aston


What's YOURS?🤔

Williams got 66 points in the #AbuDhabiGP: the all-time record for the most points in a #F1 race weekend!🏆

In 2014, the last race assigned DOUBLE the points, and Williams got a double podium!🥈🥉

In the last 6 seasons they scored in total just one point more than in that race!

Abu Dhabi GP - Practice 1 | Best Minisectors:

In a rookie-filled session, Felipe Drugovich is sandwiched between the experienced RUS and RIC! ⏱

🟢 Merc: Highest top speed of the three (+1km/h over AT, +3km/h over Aston)
🟢 Aston: dominated turns 1/5/12
🔵 AT: quickest in the t6-7 chicane

First ever photo of RedBull's rear suspension with the engine cover removed!🔎👀

🛠The RB19 has a push rod layout:
As the⚪️wheel moves upwards, the 🔵Push-Rod is compressed, pushing the 🔴Rocker, which rotates around his axis, making the 🟡Heave Damper (and Spring) compress.
