We still don't have news of the performance patch, we already have more than a month of the launch of the game and so far nothing. I think the order of the teams should be like this:
Red Bull
Mercedes
Aston Martin
Ferrari
McLaren
Alpine
Alfa Romeo
Williams
Haas
Alpha Tauri
@gladystonff93Perf updates are cool but i'd rather they spend their time fixing this broken azz game than making a few cars go faster or slower.

@Blackbird90McLaren lack of slow speed? Why do you thinks so? They were fastest in the middle sector in hungary and not even a tenth down on Hamilton in the last sector where Merc tyres are the best, in austria they were also with a tenth of Verstappen in middle sector which is half low speed, half high speed, in Silverstone 3rd best first sector by Norris which is only slow speed and top speed.. not saying McLaren is the best at low speed but its definitely not a weakpoint currently their top speed would rather be a hindrance but they will surely be on fire in the middle sector of Spa - Pouhon flat?
That’s Lando’s words.) Watch Hungary post quali conference, he says he scared of la source already and so on.
@Blackbird90 Not the first time Lando gets vocal about that:
“We’re one of the slowest cars in the slow-speed corners. It’s just an area that’s been bad for us over the last five years that we’ve not really tackled that well. At no point have we gone ‘Wow, the slow-speed is strong now, let’s work on the high-speed’.
“It’s always been good at high-speed, poor at low-speed. But that’s like a general point with these tyres and just how you have to drive them. It’s very difficult to combine, they only like to go in a straight line at any point, they don’t like to corner. So you have to make the car a little bit around this. But the better you make the car, the less stress you can put on the tyres and things like that.”
[...]
“But we have yet, over the last five years, [not] made that steady improvement in slow-speed handling and drivability. A bigger step would be improving how we drive the car, how easy it is to drive the car, rather than just adding 10 more points of [aerodynamic] load in slow speed, so to speak, because that’s only going to get us so far up the order. Red Bull have both.”
The new package is working pretty well though. On hot laps you can see from the onboards how nicely the car seems to handle. On other non-ideal scenarios though, you can see how he's got to wrangle with understeer on entry of slow corners whereas other cars can V them with ease.
This graph circulated earlier. Topmost tick is the slowest time, bottommost tick is fastest, and the dot is the average time. Unfortunately I don't think the author purged the dataset from outliers.

@Blackbird90I think we had enough years of drivers saying their cars are bad at things not to believe them haha i mean "bono my tyres are gone" is famous for a reason and its not just Hamilton who is not always 100% honest
It's not that Uncle Lewis is being honest or not, it is in his nature, and it is what he feels at this exact moment in time. Remember how stressed he was under pressure from Riccardo in Monaco. He genuinely thought he could have been overtaken by Red Bull at a track where track position is bullet-proof from any threats behind.
Most of the time drivers are telling the truth about their car, nonetheless. If Haas is bad at tyre saving, they are bad at it.) If Ferrari is bad at something, they are checking... and come back at us later ))

@Blackbird90I really dont know if you are being sarcastic or not here😂
Regarding Hamilton, absolutely not. ✊
