🇨🇦 Telemetry and infographics for Friday in Canada
Mercedes, Red Bull and McLaren noted the need to refine the settings. At the same time, all three teams were equal in race pace.
⚫ Mercedes increased downforce by updating the throat of the bottom. Let me remind you that in Barcelona they updated the sidewalls. Having compared the configurations of the rear suspension, in the second session both drivers drove with a more aggressive, new one.
🟠 McLaren updated not only the plumage of the front suspension to harmonize with the new front wing. But also the geometry so that Norris could feel the car better in the corners. The question is - how will this affect Piastri? The track itself is not favorable to the MCL39, which I described in detail in yesterday's streams. Plus, they did not find a balance.
🔵 Red Bull made a couple of changes to the set-up before the second practice, but this made the car more nervous. Today they will return to the basic settings from the first session. Dr. Marko notes that this once again shows how narrow the working window of the RB 21 is. A couple of small changes had a big negative impact on the car.
🔴 Ferrari are still sad in race and qualifying mode. And Leclerc completed only 9 laps. After an accident, the monocoque needed to be replaced.
🔵 Williams is good here. On a track with similar short corners, the FW47 works great.
