But isn’t Barcelona a track that shows weaknesses of a car? In the past it was said that a car that shows good in testing in Barca is a good base car to start with. So in this case our car looked pretty good there so what’s the problem?
2 things I can think of, Merc was REALLY sandbagging big time OR being cooler temps as it was in testing worked better with these new tires.....I don’t know, I’m just guesstimating here
So 2023 started off bad, but managed to claw back some lap time come end of the year. Lets hope SF24 will give us tifosi something to smile about.
