"They were in a pretty high power mode when they were on the lap, so it isn't so worrying, but it is a good lap," Wolff told falcongsr.
"It's quite amazing - we have GPS data, so you can follow the traces of every car. You can see that when you overlay the data, suddenly on the straights they gain much more time, and in the corners it's still the same. You can see that in detail, so it's become very transparent for the engineers how much somebody has turned up the power, and how much downforce, and how much drag everyone is running."

Ok Gasly, that was sumpin.
LeClerc over doing it in the Sauber, letting the vanilla Ericsson beat him (so far).
Meanwhile Gasly is doing a killer job against Hartley. That's how you get promoted to the A-team.

2019 proposals to improve passing that Brawn is trying to push through before 4/30 deadline:
- simplify front wing - specifically around how it shapes airflow over front tyre (current FIA research suggests this is the main source of turbulence that hinders the following car)
- bigger DRS flap

Everything we have done in the last few years has gone in the wrong direction.
