QATAR GP - SPRINT
1) RACE PACE:
HUL was within 0 .3s/lap of NOR: that's how much NOR was limiting his pace!➡️Just 0.01s/lap within SAI/RUS/PIA.
VER sandwiched by the two Haas.
2) BEST SECTORS:
LEC got the fastest S1 and S3 (and the fastest lap), but the pace in S2 (the slow one) must be fixed.

QATAR GP - SPRINT | Top Speed per Lap:
PIA used DRS in 12 out of 19 laps, yet he was slowest than anyone else who did as well, for two reasons:
- McL had the lowest top speed in Sprint Quali too (high drag).
- Most drivers had a double (or more) slipstream!
In just 19 laps everyone except for NOR used DRS!

VER back on top! Red Bull overhauled the setup after the Sprint🔥
Fantastic race by
- LEC (P2)
- GAS (crucial WCC points, keeping behind SAI!)
- ALO (P7)
- ZHO (first Sauber points!)
Very harsh penalties + field bunched by SC➡️race over for NOR and HAM
The WCC is still open!
Crazy race: what’s your opinion?🤔

On Lap 31, VER lifted the pedal around 10% and for less than 1s - enough to prove that he obeyed the yellow flag, saving his race. 💡
His speed didn't decrease, and he lost minimal time. 👌
NOR didn't even do that, and that's why he was penalised. ❌

RUS, LEC, and PIA did NOT lift, but by the time they approached that point on the straight the yellow flag had been temporarily removed, so they should not receive penalties.
That, at least, is my understanding of the episode.

📊RACE PACE
🥇🔵VER Quickest
🥈🟠NOR +0.15s/lap
🥉🔴LEC +0.35s/lap
Mercedes (RUS) was the 4th fastest car (+0.59s/lap, hurt by traffic), then Alpine, Aston, Sauber (!), Haas
RacingBulls slowest
Mercedes is consistently inconsistent:
-Vegas: 1-2
-Qatar: GAS quicker than HAM!
The field was quite spread out: BOT, who still finished 11th, was 2.56s/lap slower on average than VER!
The many DNFs, penalties, and Safety Cars made it easier to get into the points even when the pace was very far from the best one.
VER was cruising at the end.

Alonso's car did not deploy the ERS at the restart, and he was immediately overtaken by HAM💡
He then successfully drained the battery, but that wasn't enough to keep TSU behind (ALO lost 0.35s to him up to the braking point alone, and his speed deficit was as large as 17km/h)!

🛠ABU DHABI PREVIEW!
Very complete track: 2 long straights, several traction and strong braking zones, low/medium/high-speed corners.
The most complete package will win!
Compared to Qatar, Ferrari should be more competitive vs McL (VER likely to be in the mix).
Can Ferrari win the WCC? 🤔

🟠McL and 🔵RedBull seem more hesitant than ⚫️Mercedes and 🔴Ferrari about the right wing to use:
- NOR and PER will use a less loaded version (like Ferrari's);
- A more loaded one for PIA and VER (like Mercedes'): notice the deeper spoon and the more vertical upper plane.

In their respective fastest laps, RBR's top speed was TWELVE km/h higher than McL's - but there's a catch!🧐
Both tested two wing specs
🔵RBR:
-Low Drag 332km/h
-High Downforce 326
🟠McL:
-Low-Drag 324
-High Down 320
Still, McLaren with low-drag wing still 6km/h slower than RedBull with the high-downforce one!
Remember that this is FP1, so still early days (teams are running quite detuned PU modes in general).
LEC was on a higher engine mode than McL and RBR, it seems. Then RBR, and lastly McL.

FP2 DATA HIGHLIGHTS
🟠Norris quickest in all sectors, as⚪️Hulk already beat his own '23 quali P8 lap.
McL's overall grip (cornering + braking) was excellent.
🔴Ferrari braked less intensely struggling in Sectors 1 and 2.
1) BEST SECTOR TIMES:
McL has one hand on the WCC already.
Next quickest: Mercedes (HAM) in S1, Haas (HUL) in S2/3.
2) GRIP (g-g diagram):
Similar max lateral grip for the 3 teams.
Under braking: McL > Haas > Ferrari.
3) NOR vs HUL Telemetry:
HUL had a good showing, but could not keep up with NOR out of the fast T1 and in the various braking zones ➡️ Less downforce.

🧐ANALYSING HULK'S SUPER P4 AND VER'S OVERSTEER
HUL braked more intensely (🟡in yellow) than VER; his minimum speed was higher too (74 vs 71)
Still, he matched his top speed (329) and straight-line performance! (🟣purple arrows).
Verstappen's huge oversteer (🔴red) cost him the front row (and ~2tenths): he was ahead of HUL, SAI, and even PIA before that!
VER could brake less and later, gaining primarily in the braking points.
Haas built a beast of a car, and finally unlocked its potential in the 2nd half of the season! 👏

3-places grid drop for HULK: extremely unfortunate.
His P4 in qualifying was not due to luck he was also quickest (by far) in the FP2 long runs!
He and COL were on Softs (others on Mediums). HUL did 8 consecutive push laps, 6 tenths quicker than VER's '23 race-winning pace.🔥
Deg was under control, too: his slowest lap was still quicker than the quickest lap by any other driver (By PIA and HAM)!
That was best chance at his long-awaited first podium.
Fastest on Mediums: PIA, then HAM and NOR.
RBR and Ferrari were slower.

🟠McL ended their slump, winning their first WCC in TWENTY-SIX years! (Before many current drivers were born)
🔵VER won the WDC with the 3rd car in the WCC: drivers DO make the difference
🔴Ferrari gave it everything and can smile thinking about ‘25 (HAM, too!)
