Hey there,
2023 season has ended and we are approaching season 2024. @ScarDuck14 has already opened a new thread regarding the new season.
See you there!
@mariohomohI wont try any argument with you when you leave out the biggest factor in car speed - Is it a significant difference in drag when one car has slipstream and DRS open? Yes, quite so, allowing e.g. Ferraris in 2021 getting up to 356kph around Silverstone 🙂
I wont even start arguing against comparing RPM in that situation with any other situation with wind, quali slightest slipstream etc. thanks.
Besides doing the math on the average for DRS without both RBs is 16.7 in contrast to 17.2.. Really huge difference 🙂
Dont bother with trying again, i dont care about you holding on to straws like the Australia delta was 36 kph when Hamilton was 10 kph faster just a second before taking that moment. I couldnt care less about you thinking im talking nonesense at this point especially when you value Ferrari engineers so highly after there blunders the past years.
I wish you no bad but i will ignore you from here on cause there is nothing to gain from someone showing in the data there was a 26 kph delta and insisting on it being 36 kph delta.
Have a good one.

You forgot to detach the rocket 🚀, my sunbeam?!
😱
I even italicized it, now in bold: factors that positively impact on speed. As in, work by increasing the speed.
Drag impacts negatively, it is right there in both posts 😉
Aero components and slipstreaming don't make the car go faster, they just reduce drag - as in, they make a negative factor lesser.
And if a car going at top speed, full throttle, with the engine revving at 12000RPM in 8th gear, were to find a god blessed pocket of slipstream, guess what? Its RPM would increase in tandem with its speed.
Hopefully though you've got your main problem solved and figured out how you can indeed see the ERS working by knowing car speed, throttle trace and RPM. Will hardly ever be able to give an exact, discrete value to it and know how much of acceleration or deceleration is due to the MGU-K, but there it is 😉
Regarding the DRS delta, the original post:
When going through that same spot on the track (telemetry has distance on the "x" axis, not time), Verstappen was at 322kph. With an allegedly detuned PU 🥲.
He would still go to hit 325kph on that strip. That's 27kph delta from their respective top speeds.
The moment he overtook Hamilton though the delta was 36kph (VER 324kph against HAM's 288kph)
