@brakeboosted Jolyon said we would need a medium to have 2 new sets for Q3? Doesn’t Charles have 4 new sets for this quali?

[Sidharth Madhaven @Sidharth_99]

@brakeboosted Would Charles’s setup be better for the race? He said he didn’t anticipate the Q3 requirements well

[Sidharth Madhaven @Sidharth_99]

@brakeboosted The soft tyre pattern and the brake issues seem correlated? Using the brakes to generate heat or Lec uncomfortable with precision braking in this era? His words and interview make it sound so bleak when he’s clearly on the pace and with clean laps should take pole

[Sidharth Madhaven @Sidharth_99]

@brakeboosted @brakeboosted what happened to Charles in the 2nd stint? Lost so much time to Lewis

[Sidharth Madhaven @Sidharth_99]

@brakeboosted Same Q, this is so dumn. I think they wanted to go long but realised they couldn’t and boxed. Can’t be decisive as usual

[Sidharth Madhaven @Sidharth_99]

@brakeboosted Any reasons why Charles isn’t comfortable in the wet? Setup or driving reasons?

[Sidharth Madhaven @Sidharth_99]

@Sedici_Ferrari Would you say the issue for Charles is less mechanical grip or a lack of a front end? Or both with the latter a result of the former?

[Sidharth Madhaven @Sidharth_99]

@brakeboosted Poor
Laps, don’t know if the lower DF made it harder but inexcusable

[Sidharth Madhaven @Sidharth_99]

@Sedici_Ferrari Shouldn’t Charles go for the higher DF then?
If the mechanical grip is down

[Sidharth Madhaven @Sidharth_99]

@BreathBlade @brakeboosted I agree, and I’m guessing it gives him a balance to protect his tyres in the race. But that’s of no use if you start P6 or wherever after Quali.

Hope he proves me wrong, but I don’t think sacrificing Quali for a better race balance is smart on tracks like this.

[Sidharth Madhaven @Sidharth_99]

@brakeboosted Charles’s obsession to run with less DF is costing him in such tracks. He needs to start high, don’t get this

[Sidharth Madhaven @Sidharth_99]

@brakeboosted Apart from some top speed which is irrelevant here why run a medium DF spec? For tyre management, managing any possible rain and qualifying the highest DF spec should be the one right? Feels like they both converge and one always ends up unhappy from these experiments

[Sidharth Madhaven @Sidharth_99]

@IndianTechGuide @grok why was this already not happening

[Sidharth Madhaven @Sidharth_99]

@brakeboosted Lewis put on a new soft at the end but Charles didn’t right?

[Sidharth Madhaven @Sidharth_99]

@vandansavage @Danelerc How much is Charles losing to Lewis in S1? If he can stay within a tenth he will have him over the lap. He can’t afford to qualify behind at any cost because it will bring on the inevitable race time loss by the time Charles gets through Lewis and potentially cost a win

[Sidharth Madhaven @Sidharth_99]

@brakeboosted chances of making it GPQ?

[Sidharth Madhaven @Sidharth_99]

@brakeboosted if this car stays mid and Ferrari as per “rumours” falls behind in the 2026 engine, do you think CL should move? Given Piastry and Antonelli it doesn’t look like CL will have the bargaining power we would expect and could end end up with options like Sainz had

[Sidharth Madhaven @Sidharth_99]

@manoj_216 @IndianTechGuide @grok is this true

[Sidharth Madhaven @Sidharth_99]

@MeghUpdates @grok what repercussions if India cancels the Indus water treaty?

[Sidharth Madhaven @Sidharth_99]

@brakeboosted Why did we not 1 stop, we had 2 cars and could have used Lewis as buffer too. This is dumb
