The Length of 8th Gear in Testing vs Racing

It's confirmed now: NO F1 team changed the length of the 8th gear from testing to racing!

This means that McL has the shortest ratio, and Audi by far the longest: the former could increase PU efficiency and thus power on slower tracks (closer-spaced gears→can operate around max-efficiency point), the latter on fast ones .

I explain how I computed that in this video! 👇
