MODERATORS
Neither the new floor nor the gear shift have anything to do with the wings. I think it's just coincidence. I think it was a feedback loop of getting nervous after initially getting the updates wrong and then panicking more and more.
Wasn't the Flexi stuff also the front wing/nose?
If you lack downforce then the amount of power you can put down in corners is also impacted, which you can address by changing the map with earlier upshifts.
Checo was complaining about lack of power at the start of the corner he had his spin that then came in late, like they were cutting power.
Otherwise it would be very odd to change the engine map unless they are worried about Ferrari style PU rule breaches and toned it down. They had enough pace to just put on new PUs, take the penalty and still win, so I don't buy the PU is at risk of going.
