There are a few things that could explain why theyre off pace if its not just down to the cars speed, which is the most logical conclusion.
Audi still uses last year's chassis, not just Toyota. And 1:57.3/1:57.5 is not 'barely' in the 57's from the #1.

The thing is, if they are running there high DF car, why were they so slow in sector two? They were slower than all the Audis and Porsches in that sector, where you need as much downforce as you can.
