@f1elvis Mercedes was obviously using Party Mode for Lewis the whole race. Next week they can simply install a new ICE and do it again. 300 km’s at full power, and easily brush away the 5 place grid penalty.
@AlyssaLeng@HerveLemahieu Great study and great dataviz! And honest conclusion that no single category is enough of an explanation.
Do you have data on actual Covid measures per country? It would be cool to compare e.g. countries with 14 day quarantaine to countries without that. Or flight bans...
#askelvis after the ban on party modes, what tools are remaining for the teams for engine optimisation? We still see Valtteri and Lewis cruising for most of the race and then suddenly stepping up their game for the fasted lap of the race.
