you would have seen them hanging around for very long.

But this is different.

This has given them that spark that was missing.

I think, first of all, we need to be a little bit careful about that he has got an ongoing performance advantage over Charles Leclerc.

What's happened is that Charles had two...

He races Canada and Monaco where he couldn't get the bricks up to temperature.

Canada is very cold.

Monaco is very low energy.

And almost as a knee-jerk reaction to that, he said, right, okay, let's try Lewis's bricks and let's try carbon industry bricks, which...

Probably you didn't need to for Barcelona because it's not a circuit that's a very high energy circuit.

It's not somewhere where you probably were going to have trouble getting the brakes up to temperature.

So I think they have a very different approach to corner entry in the way that they get the rotation on the car.

And I suspect that the Brembos are probably more suitable for Charles in the way that he overlaps cornering with earlier braking.

And that's where he's getting the rotation in the car, whereas Lewis is much straight line for longer later and harder on the brakes.

And he feels he doesn't need that very graded cornering

feedback that you get from the Brembo's.

He doesn't need that.

He just needs the raw stopping power because he's braking later.

And he gets the rotation at that moment with that combination of the steering as he's coming off the brakes very, very quickly.

And so all he needs is that the car does that, brakes really hard, and the rear doesn't become unstable by the extreme sudden input.
