DUTCH GP - FP2 DATA HIGHLIGHTS
👍Mercedes, McL
👌RedBull
👎Ferrari
RUS was quickest, and his top speed was excellent (328km/h, 2nd quickest and 2km/h quicker than VER's '23 pole).
PIA (fastest in Sector 3) and HAM (fastest in Sector 1) were close, though! Ferrari is looking even worse after the summer break.
1) Fastest Sectors:
- Mercedes, then McL were fastest in S1 (end of main straight + 2 full-throttle section separated by the cambered T3 hairpin). The two RedBulls sandwiched MAG.
- Mercedes, then McL again in S2. Ferrari's worst sector: LEC lost HALF A SECOND in this sector alone! (After the updates, the car seems to hate the fast corners.)
- McL was best in S3, which was VER's and LEC's best.

2) Top Speeds:
Haas was the fastest, but Mercedes was just 1km/h behind. Ferrari matched Red Bull for 3rd. McL and Aston experienced high drag: this will have a smaller impact on a wet qualifying!
3) Minisectors (top 3 cars):
Track split in almost 3 equal parts!
- VER dominated the main straight and the fast T7 and T8➡️Excellent aero efficiency.
- RUS gained significantly after T3 and T9.
- The last sector was McLaren's strongest one.

VER’s gap to NOR:

At least, his best lap on Medium was quicker than PER’s, and his average becomes more reasonable when removing his 2 slowest laps.

Long runs for all teams (not just the top 5)
RedBull had a ~3km/h higher top speed than McL, yet it was slower on the straights: this suggests that RedBull (as is often the case) was running a more detuned engine mode (but less drag) than McL (shouldn’t be the effect of fuel: RedBull was still quickest in the high-speed corners, where fuel load impacts the most).

📊 DUTCH GP - QUALIFYING DATA HIGHLIGHTS
NOR inflicted a remarkable 0.356s gap to VER, Ferrari was just the 4th fastest car, and ALB got P8 before being disqualified... I'm explaining how that happened through the telemetry: read on! 👇
1) AERO PERFORMANCE 🌬
- Mercedes reached the highest top speed in qualifying: a rare occurrence for an overall draggy car! In the end, the team opted for less drag, for a modest loss of downforce.
- McL had a top speed just 1km/h lower than RedBull's, but was overall quicker: the better performance in S1 and S3 made the difference.
- ALB got P8 despite having the worst top speed: what the Williams lacked in straight-line performance it made up in the overall grip.
2) NOR vs VER HEAD-TO-HEAD TELEMETRY 📈
NOR gained steadily throughout the 1st sector. VER could lift less in the fastest corner (T7)➡️Excellent downforce.
Once the 3rd sector started, it was game over for VER.

Notes on Dutch GP:
McLaren said that their updates could have given them a big performance step against RedBull - and they did! 📈
🟠NOR: yet another disappointing start, but was flawless after that!
🔵VER: damage limitation 👌
🔴LEC podium, SAI P5 with NO upgrades
⚫️HAM finished right behind RUS despite starting 9 places behind
Compared to expectations:
🔴Ferrari 👍
⚫️Mercedes 👎
McL is now the clear favourite for the WCC now
Ferrari is expected to go all-in with the upgrades starting from Monza (and the next 3, fast tracks should suit it better).

At the opening race (Bahrain), 🟠NOR was 0.83s/lap slower than 🟡VER: thinking about a race-winning McL was a mirage, not to think about fighting for the championship!
Yet, in the Dutch GP NOR was 0.34s quicker than VER: McL's consistently successful upgrades will be remembered for years.
🔴LEC's pace matched VER's: just a 0.01s/lap difference! Well-deserved podium
🔴SAI almost matched PIA, while PER was 0.1s/lap slower
HAM and RUS used one more set, that's why their pace looks so good.

HOW🟠NORRIS LOST THE PLACE TO🟡VERSTAPPEN
👀
- VER used constant throttle (~20%).
- NOR, instead, quicky increased it up to 50%➡️His rear tyres likely spun (notice the rpm increase), forcing him to lift significantly over 50km/h.
The battle was lost there: he could go full-throttle ONE SECOND later than VER and reached 200km/h 0.4s later.
Driver mistake, fundamental car issue, or both?
- Could be a driver mistake: NOR has been having consistently bad starts, and worse on average than PIA.
- Could be a fundamental car issue: also PIA, on average, has had bad starts.
The telemetry suggests that NOR indeed made a mistake, but the car likely has some characteristics (Clutch? Energy deployment?) that make starts hard.
What's your opinion? 🤔

MONZA PREVIEW 🏁
Having low drag is more important than in any other track! 👀
Having a powerful engine (and efficient ERS) allows running slightly more loaded wings (stable braking, better cornering and tyre wear)
✅Low-drag cars (Haas, Ferrari) will gain from that
❌More draggy ones (McL, Aston) might struggle
McL will still be the favorite, but they won’t be as dominant as in Zandvoort!

In last year’s quali, Mercedes was slowest in the speed trap, while McLaren’s top speed varied significantly lap-to-lap (and was low overall).
Sauber was fastest on average, but Ferrari was close behind.
Haas reached the highest speed (351km/h) due to a tow.
In Monza, top speed is important for:
- overall performance;
- to make attacking/defending easier (which provides the team with more strategic freedom).
Sacrificing downforce too much in the search for straight-line speed, however, will impact tyre wear negatively (especially this year: C3-C5 tyres on a resurfaced track!).
Since last year, McL and Mercedes seemingly made progress concerning their top speeds, yet McL doesn’t expect Monza to suit their car well.
I expect Ferrari to be stronger than usual here compared to the other top teams.

Italian GP - Wing Thursday!
Ferrari’s and Mercedes’ rear wings are extremely low-downforce; Alpine’s one is… nonexistent! 😳
RedBull is using the rear wing with the trimmed upper plane (cost-saving measure) already tested in Spa.
McLaren and Aston went for slightly more downforce than Ferrari/Merc.
Mercedes’ DRS effect will be minimal with that very skinny upper plane.
