McLaren F1 car is “more of penalty” for Quirks Noris

A car that is quick but difficult to drive: It has become a familiar escape to the grid up and down in the final season of the current ground-effect rulasset of Formula 1.

Lando Noris Fang with grain in the sprint race in China, to take eighth position after leaving three positions in the open lap, and then There was a messy qualifying n route in fourth place on the gridConversely, team mate Oscar piastry Right moment in sprint to give relief Max VerustapaneSecond place red bull, Then make your MCL39 eligible on the position of the pole For Sunday’s Grand Prix.

Noris is already on a record saying that he had to modify his favorite attacker style to get the best from the new. McLarenWhich is not a strong enough front end to reward a late braking style. But this was after winning the Australian Grand Prix in a clearly spontaneous style; In China, on the contrary, he looks scary at times.

After merit, Noris talked about the difficulties in management of the front tires, to find out when to push and when not to push. The Shanghai Circuit F1 has one external something because the layout punishes the front wheels more than the rear: the first two corners tightening radius, and rapid penetration, load the front-left.

The Noris was one of the several drivers, with difficulty in moving the speed through 1 and 2 turns, and he experienced many lock-ups going to the hairpin directly at the end of the back.

The team’s principal Andrea Stella said, “There are some things – one mainly belongs to the behavior of tires on this surface, and the other I think more than the car behavior – which makes the car exploited a bit difficult.”

“This is the same for both drivers, but I think it is a punishment for lands, looking at his driving style and the way he wants to generate lap time. On both things, one related to another car, we can’t do much – we just have to adapt.

“We certainly have some improvements to long, because we had a lot of grain with lands and could not make a lot of progress during sprint, while the Oscars fought a little more comfortably with tires. But it is also true that it was less dirty air.

Steella will not go into nuances about what the car limitations are, but they admitted that they were not the factors that “can change from one day to another”-that is a fundamental car characteristic, rather than that can be dialing through the set-up. The sensitivity of the pirelli tires is, of course, the same for all.

If Noris faced more than the grain in the sprint race than the piastry, as he had ‘dirty air’ due to being caught in a DRS train. Yuki Sunoda, Andrea Kimi Antoneley And Lance walk Further, his major problems were of removing a-lap performance in qualifying on new soft-compound tires. After setting respectable time in the second phase of both sprint qualifying and main qualifying sessions, he lost time to snap and lock-up in the final stages.

“Somehow when he tried to find the last one or two tenth, which you will find in general when you put some new sets, I think he hits such behaviors that I refer to without being specific,” Stela explained.

“And this means that in fact, for him, it works better when he is at 99% of his ability. When he tries to extract 100, things actually travel a bit more.”
