Next update is today, 22:00 CET.
Notice the wet level dropped to 49, so it's starting to dry.
Decide if this is enough to warrant a pitstop. DRS is still disabled

Suzuka Laps 49-53

Spoiler: 49-52

Spoiler: 53

Budgets will be updated soon

 

[rubaru]

Post 352 made me think we had 56 laps in this race. If I had noticed from the front page it was to be only 53, I might not have made that switch to Soft on Lap 51.

 

[Milos]

oh, i totally missed that too.

I do have an updated budget screenshot which will help with track stats

#1b: soft-medium with pitstop on lap 21 and saving whole race (don't try with drivers bad on tyres)

3-stop probably too slow to be worth, but you can experiment in case of SC with added push mode

Also it would seem my soft tyre test run was off by 10%, the other tyres should be ok but maybe adjust your strategies to be slightly safer

Russell appears to make another mistake

Spoiler: 57-60

however he passes Verstappen back

Spoiler: 61-64

Ricciardo begins to slow down, potential issues?

Spoiler: 65-68

Spoiler: 69-71

No, it seems it was a team order for Ricciardo, who didn't have any reasons to stand by as he concedes the first position. Russell also takes the fastest lap.

Interlagos Free Practice

Spoiler: FP1

Spoiler: FP2

Market is open until 24.11. 13:00 CET

And after that I will have a window until 24.11. 22:00 CET if you want to update something for the sprint race, as it will be intermediate wet for the entire duration. "Friday Qualifying" will also be wet

 

[Milos]

The constructors seems to be a certain win for Falcon, but the drivers is more hotly contested. Will be interesting to see if Norris and Perez can hold onto this lead. I believe Perez looks like the favourite at this stage.
A wet interlagos would help them both over Russell, as it would put Jawz GP as the favourites to win, and not allow Russell to take valuable points, with both Norris and DTK having strong past performances in wet races.

Vettel still has a mathematical chance, but it is looking unlikely for him.

 

[Márk Lintner]

We need to get some serious upgrades for this race against Jawz, engines will be working at 110%

Meanwhile Jawz easy first place at qualy:

Brazil Qualifying

Spoiler: Q1

OUT: GIO, ALO, ALB, MAG, LEC

Spoiler: Q2

OUT: HUL, DVR, ZHO, PIA, VER

Spoiler: Q3

Since I was late with the quali (and also upon request by a manager), I will delay the sprint deadline for 25.11. 17:00 CET.

It will be intermediate wet the entire length, so really this is just an opportunity to adjust push modes
