4th position on the grid, 1st season with Wiliams - what ya want more mate?
This track is the most sensitive on car setup/balance. Last mickey-mouse section made even more challenging than before.
But you dont have to worry about this slow last section
during the race to be fast because they cant pass you there. So look for a fast setup for fast corners. You need to have better traction out of fast chikanes.. be able to drag them easily in Turn 3 and Turn 8 before overtake.
I m doing now only 0.7sec faster with Ferrari second season, than I did with Sauber first season. And this is thanks to better brakes upgrades than Sauber at this point of season, otherwise feels as fast both cars. As someone mentioned already, it could be your opponents got some better parts for Cataluniya.
However I m scoring podiums in 50% long races with this setup if you wanna try (need some defense at the end of main straight thou):
