F1 2024 - G.P. Nº 22 - LAS VEGAS 🏎

Albon sólo ha dado 3 vueltas de momento. Al parecer, tiene un problema con el sistema de combustible.

Los mecánicos consiguen sacar a Albon pero se queda parado en su vuelta de incorporación. Bandera roja para sacar el coche.

FORMULA 1 HEINEKEN SILVER LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX 2024
Sesión de entrenamientos LIBRES 2
Jueves, 21 de noviembre de 2024


Las bajas temperaturas siguen sentándole bien a los Mercedes. Lewis HAMILTON vuelve a ser el más rápido mientras que Russell ha terminado tercero. Entre ambos se ha colado Norris a sólo 11 milésimas de Hamilton.

Tras ellos han acabado los Ferrari de Sainz y Leclerc.

Sorpresa de ver a Gasly 6º y Magunssen 7º, por delante de Piastri y Hülkenberg.

Pero para sorpresa, las posiciones de los Red Bull, con Verstappen 17º y Checo Pérez penúltimo, y gracias a los problemas que ha tenido Albon que no le han permitido rodar.

Fernando Alonso ha acabado 14º, con Stroll acabando justo por delante de él.

Todos han evitado probar el neumático duro para reservarlo para carrera debido al graining que aparece tanto en el blando como en el medio.

[GoVal]

Qué maravilla de plano.

Según parece, el «bajo rendimiento» del Red Bull se debe a que se han equivocado con la especificación del alerón trasero que han llevado a Las Vegas  .



Red Bull stuck with wrong rear wing for Las Vegas GP

Red Bull is out of kilter with its F1 rivals with a too-draggy rear wing

Red Bull says it is stuck with a too-draggy rear wing that has left it on the backfoot against its Formula 1 rivals in the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

World championship leader Max Verstappen ended up 17th fastest in second free practice on Thursday night, with team-mate Sergio Perez two places further back, as the Milton Keynes-based squad lacked pace.

While some of that performance deficit was down to engine settings and a different tyre programme, it is not lost on Red Bull that GPS data shows it to be up to 7km/h slower on the straights than the pace-setting Mercedes and McLaren cars.

This is down to it having not brought the kind of low-drag configuration of rear wing to the high-speed Las Vegas circuit that its rivals have.

And while it tried all it could to improve matters, including removing a Gurney flap, Red Bull says it is going to have to battle on with what it has got because it has no other options available.

Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko said: "We don't have another rear wing, a smaller rear wing, as we see it on our competitors. It would be more helpful, for sure."

Asked if there was a chance the team could fly a less trimmed one out overnight from its Milton Keynes factory, Marko said: "No."

Beyond the wing aspect, Marko felt that Red Bull's potential was greater than it showed in practice, but admitted that things were not great.

"On the short run we didn't go out with a soft tyre, and the long run was only partly good," he said.

"Some laps were competitive, but then the rear tyres were disappearing. There were flashes of speed. We just have to get consistency into it."

But while Marko reckons there is more lap time to come in terms of single lap pace, the degradation on the long run meant things could be more difficult in the race.

"We need more balance," he said. "On the single lap we can improve. But on the long run, the tyre wear is a problem at the moment."

But he refused to believe the weekend was a write-off, as much of the focus in the build-up has been on whether Verstappen can clinch his fourth championship title here.

"Tomorrow is a different day," he added. "You maybe saw it a lot of times. People will be fastest on Friday or Thursday, but it doesn't mean that they are fast in the race...

"We will, for sure, make a reasonable step."

Para minimizar el error del alerón trasero, en Red Bull «recortaron» el ala. Ayer llevó esta corrección Verstappen y hoy lo ha montado Checo también.

Max sigue sin estar conforme con el comportamiento del coche.

Se acerca la hora de la quali y Max comienza a ver la luz.

A falta de pocos minutos para el final, el coche de Stroll se queda parado y aparece la bandera roja.

Stroll ha tenido que saltar y los comisarios no pueden acercarse al coche porque la luz superior está parpadeando. El problema es que sale humo de los frenos y podrían provocar un pequeño incendio.

Iba conduciendo alegremente cuando de repente el coche se apagó por completo.
