2024 gearing

All that has to do with the power train, gearbox, clutch, fuels and lubricants, etc. Generally the mechanical side of Formula One.

2024 gearing

Not that I think there are any relevant differences any more, but here is a thread for 2024 gearing, starting with the post quoted, stolen from the McLaren team thread.
Feel free to post other (future and past) data.

For those interested in gearing, I took all of the data from Jeddah Race and calculated the average of the speed at which drivers changed up or changed down in a particular gear. Naturally engine power, tyre strategy etc will affect the results but I have no patience to go to that level of detail right now.

No there isn't, It was posted for that point and was only really in relation to Ferrari and Mclarens relative performance in an FP2 session.

A quick look a 6th, 7th and 8th gear shows that Mclaren and Ferarri are almost identical in gearing when taking data from Australia Qualifying.
