RACE PACE ANALYSIS Between Lap 1 and 26 Leclerc was around 0.21% faster than Verstappen, and 0.57% faster than Russell: there wouldn't have been any competition At the end of the race Verstappen had a 0.69%/lap gap on Russell, so Mercedes are still far away from the top

FP2 Telemetry Analysis [LEC vs VER] On one lap there's no comparison between the two title contenders based on what we saw yesterday: Leclerc makes up time in most corners and doesn't lose much in the straights. Red Bull worked on the third sector, "only" 0.1s lost there

Furthermore, on the Power Unit side, where Mercedes is losing ~0.2s according to AMuS, there will be two development phases, which will both debut before September 1st (MGU-K, battery and energy store freeze date). Mercedes seem to be going all-in, they haven't given up just yet!

Here's the comparison between the two wings on the F1-75: in 📸1 we can see a curved main plane on the car, while on 📸2 the main plane is almost flat. The second profile seems almost identical from these images, so it doesn't seem to have changed

After seeing 5/10 cars, looking at the mechanical elements McLaren and Alfa Romeo are the teams who took the most risks: MCL36 has a pull-rod front and push-rod rear (both unusual), C42 has a push-rod front and rear (unusual), while the rest have push-rod front and pull-rod rear
