free practice is for setup changes and finding something the driver likes,
if his speed advantage was just down to downforce levels we would have seen a different pattern at points during the weekend
Why would the cerebral Nico stick to a lower DF setup the whole weekend when it was obvious Lewis had the edge over each lap because of his LATE BREAKING and hence the carrying of excess speed right thru to positioning for the next part in those two sectors. Why would the clever Nico suddenly stop copying his setttings
I am not been funny but I just dont get how you can turn up and say 'Lewis was faster, but it was down to packing more DF????
Dont you recognise this is akin to waving a red flag at some of the more 'particular' lewis fans?
Did you even look at the speed trap numbers of both cars before that assumption? Its not hard to look into these things before making declarations that look to diminish a guys acheivents especially when they are just out of your dreams without a shred of evidence and despite stacks of data that says the opposite
look at this trap chart, lets assume both drivers had the same gearing i.e neither used 8th then why would Nico drop 20 mph round the chicanes and gain 3, YES THREE mph on top speed by going for much much lower DF which explains Lewis spanking him
It really baffles me how after a race that generates tons of data so we may make our own minds up, how can you say something like that and expect to be traken seriously or exp0ect us to let it go uncommented, I mean saying the guy has a career long mental weakness is one thing, but saying he was faster because of the DF is pants, really
by the way, I dont mean to confuse you , but I have used the qualy top speeds because the cars are in park ferme till the race and in the race on any lap we pick there could be extenuating circumstances - so quali is the purest display of speed

I'll stick with he had more downforce so went faster through corners and leave it at that.Thats not logical though is it
