#F1 cars have around 6kg of paint (according to Alfa Romeo team manager Beat Zehnder) So the maximum theoretical mass gain is 6kg, or around 0.18s/lap (considering a 0.3s/lap weight sensitivity) if the car still ends up over the minimum mass A 3kg gain would bring around 0.1s!

FRONT WINGS 💡Mercedes might have found a loophole! By not structurally attaching the uppermost element to the nose, they might recreate the infamous 'Y250' vortex, which improves underbody efficiency👌 I can definitely see the other teams to get noisy about this🤬 #F1

Leclerc’s last year’s pole (1.11.376) was FASTER than this year’s lap (1.11.471) The lap he did with the old F1-75 would have placed him on the front row today, in front of Alonso (1.11.449) #F1 #monacogp

Considering the terrible starting position, this was Ferrari’s best race this year so far, in my opinion The team studied the telemetry from Spain and said that they got a good understanding of the updated package It looks like a solid base to build on: let’s hope for further…

💡Ferrari might start the weekend on the backfoot: They opened all the cooling outlets+brake ducts to the maximum➡️This will reduce the car's efficiency (less downforce, more drag)📉 Either the other teams will follow suit, or Ferrari has worse cooling requirements Opinions?🤔…

Interesting rear wing choices 👀 RB: high load Merc/Alpine: medium-high load Ferrari: medium load Ferrari should be quicker than RB in the DRS OFF zones, but RB’s superior efficiency and DRS effectiveness should make it close once DRS activates Beware of wear!🛞 📸…

Is the RB19 'a dominant car'? >Surely: 4 wins and 7 podiums in just 4 races!🏆 Is it 'the most dominant F1 car I've seen'? (As HAM said) >Surely not: in the V6 era, many Mercedes cars he drove (e.g. '14/16/20) were more dominant!📊 Yet, RB's advantage is impressive #F1 #F12023

🚨The DRS was NOT working in Q3 for both Astons! ALO did a mega job staying close to HAM, as the DRS is crucial here! The 326km/h top speed was not bad at all with the closed DRS💪 The RB was a missile, and Merc faster than Ferrari McLaren is still a brick...but a quick one!🧱

This weekend will have the world’s first… FAKE gravel trap 🤯 It is completely solid, made from resin: it will offer reduced grip, but also prevent gravel to be pulled onto the racing line! What do you think: top or flop? 🤔 Source: @autosport

Verstappen has been overperforming Perez all season long... In Las Vegas, he kept an 11km/h higher cornering speed in the fastest corner despite running a less loaded wing!🤯 The lower drag paid dividends concerning top speed: +3km/h with DRS +4km/h without DRS #F1 #LasVegasGP

This year, the Australian GP will feature FOUR DRS zones!🤯 During the Jeddah GP, the effect of tow+DRS in terms of drag reduction was: -20.7% for Aston📉 -23.8% Mercedes -28.3%Ferrari -31.5% for RedBull📈 This change should make RB even stronger and could hold back Aston🤔 #F1

Ever seen an #F1 tyre looking like this?🤔 It's covered by marbles: bits of rubber that break off when the tyre is graining These are often flung off the racing line and avoided... but did you know that drivers PURPOSEFULLY drive over them when the race is over? 🤯 Read on!👇

RedBull’s ‘Shark Mouth’ Sidepods inlets!🦈 The inlet area looks minimal from the front due to the underbite (the part of bodywork that goes over it, partly covering from the front) Never seen before💡 #F1 @redbullracing @Max33Verstappen @f1 #RB20 #RedBull

Rear wings comparison - #BahrainGP ( @redbullracing as reference) -🔵RB and 🟠McL have the most loaded upper planes➡️Should gain the most from DRS -🔴Ferrari should have excellent top speed due to the unloaded lower plane. Will tyre wear be impacted, though?🤔 #F1 @McLarenF1

Not the type of 'F1 Data Analysis' you would expect but... still data linked to an F1 race! The point evidenced is the instant of the race start: once the race pace materialised, the value for Aston Martin soared! +38% in 5 days, +19% during the race alone📈 ALO needs a bonus!

💡Did Perez expose the updated RedBull floor? 📄FIA documents attest that RB 'Revised a floor edge detail' and 'the changes have extracted some more local load' (translated: more downforce) One change might be the one in green. What do you think?🤔 #F1 #HungarianGP 📸…

That was close!⏱ LEC dominated almost 50% of the track length VER made the difference in few crucial sections, like the fast right-hander and out of the last corner NOR was great in the slow corners and did not lose much time in the straights this time!📈 #F1 #AustrianGP

🗒️Notes on the #CanadianGP -A less dominant RB than usual -Ferraris’ pace was GREAT! They made the one-stopper work and were as quick as ALO/HAM despite much older tyres. Promising! -Great race by Albon: excellent wear and high top speed -Thrilling last lap🔥 Your comments?👀🤔

SF24 vs RB20🔎 Notable differences👇 🟢Push vs Pull-Rod Carbon fibre's tensile strength is higher: look at how thin RedBull's rod is!➡️Lower mass and airflow disruption 🟣Different wishbone inclination ⚪️Underbite vs Overbite 🟠Different upper-plane load distribution #F1

It seems that also @alo_oficial is enjoying my race pace analyses!🤩 Thank you for sharing, I really hope you will get the clean weekend you deserve to show your impressive pace! Having achieved this in less than 4 months is insane, I deeply thank every single one of you! 😍

After the first races, I wrote this analysis on the strengths and weaknesses of each car However, the significant updates brought by the teams changed the characteristics of many cars… can you spot them? Read the thread, and let me know which ones you think evolved the most!
