Question: Do you think toyota will be able to qualify in the range of 1.45? |
i’m not familiar with the track conditions and tyre performance on this circuit to be able to even pretend to know the answer to that, not sure any of us are. i suspect the drivers and team won’t know till after quali
but 1.45 looks a bit too quick, doesn’t it?
it’s got to be an interesting one to prepare for - the risk for drivers who don’t know every bump and crease in the circuit is high, but you need them to find a steady race pace. i wonder if the full/empty difference in handling is even greater here?
i’m most interested in how quick the dpis will be relative to the toyotas/glicks given how much more running and experience they have with this circuit.
