Before classification: news and lack of adherence

Gabriel Bortoleto faced lack of adherence in qualifying on a car that had a number of novelties. For the fan, the initial scenario was one of doubt: when a team tests changes, quick reading usually points to development risk, but not always the problem is in the project itself.

Friday: the tire warming bottleneck

The next step in the story was on Friday, and the problem is that it's difficult to put temperature into the tyres. In urban circuits like Azerbaijan, heating up is often a sensitive point because the driver needs to find grip with no room for error and cold tires tend not to deliver the ideal window.

After the Azerbaijan GP: more positive sign

After the Azerbaijan GP, Bortoleto came out much more positive. The race made it clear that Friday was not a failure in Audi's development.

What's left for the next step

The next step is to see if Audi can manage the tyre warm-up better on other weekends. For the Brazilian fan, the good news is that the lack of grip in qualifying did not turn into a negative judgment: it became a more accurate diagnosis about what needed to be solved on track.
