Mercedes have genuinely been second best strategy wise race after race
I guess. But that DRS I think was enough to stop Lewis getting a crack at overtaking.In fairness it compensates for the time he lost following Mick for a few corners.
Cracking race that.
Gutted Lewis couldn't catch him.
Thoroughly depressed with sport today.
Actually Lewis went past that group twice because of his pit stop...He never lost anywhere near the same amount of time, fact.
Sorry?Great race from Max there.
Slower car, faster driver.
Going to be an exciting last 5 races.Yeap also a fair point.
Round this track the RB is clearly the faster and better car. RB pace in practice, qualifying and the actual race proved all that.Great race from Max there.
Slower car, faster driver.
A lot of it is that I think, someone is finally challenging the all dominant force. Vettel was largely hated during his dominant phase, I like him now.I honestly don't understand how max has so many fans appearing recently, maybe its just people don't want lewis to win any more so just cling to anyone else?
I want Lewis to win but you can't argue Max's capabilities. Definitely multi world champ.I honestly don't understand how max has so many fans appearing recently, maybe its just people don't want lewis to win any more so just cling to anyone else?
Yeh pincer movement by RB that Mercedes have done often to others. Lewis could have gone longer on first set of tyres if it wasnt for Perez putting. Mercs had to cover that off.Sorry?
Great drive by Max, in the faster car. But the strategy won Red Bull that race.
Pretty much sums up my feelings also.A lot of it is that I think, someone is finally challenging the all dominant force. Vettel was largely hated during his dominant phase, I like him now.
I don’t like Max and I don’t think I ever will but he’s quick as feck and says what he thinks, he will gain fan base (much like Kimi did) from that alone. Any driver from Red Bull would have to go a long way for me to support them, I dislike them more than anything.
Monza says hi.Max is just relentless. I can’t think of a time he’s made a mistake when under pressure this year. He’s got a long career ahead to be able to match Hamilton and the greats but fair play to him, he’s been really incredible this year.
100% multi WC winner.I want Lewis to win but you can't argue Max's capabilities. Definitely multi world champ.
He also did at Paul Ricard, Mercedes gifted that one back again.Monza says hi.
Not saying he is a bad driver, he's obviously extremely quick. I am just saying I don't understand why people like himI want Lewis to win but you can't argue Max's capabilities. Definitely multi world champ.
Let’s not forget the start of this race, if Perez didn’t have to yield his spot he’s have been 3rd. Max was incredible today btw except that start.Monza says hi.
Your wish might be granted next season.I would happily never hear the phrase ‘dirty air’ ever again. Wish these cars could actually race more often.
I certainly don'tNot saying he is a bad driver, he's obviously extremely quick. I am just saying I don't understand why people like him
Should be called filthy air.Your wish might be granted next season.
The rumours of the new cars only being 4-5 tenths off this years cars has me sceptical already, ground effect influence will help a lot but these machines are so complex you just know dirty air will still be a thing.Your wish might be granted next season.
You don't understand why people like someone who is multi WC capable? Strange.Not saying he is a bad driver, he's obviously extremely quick. I am just saying I don't understand why people like him
At present when the following car is within 2 seconds it can lose upto 80% downforce in dirty air. The projections are that the loss next year will be 15-20%, meaning that the following car will be able to get very close, somewhere around 0.2-0.5 behind before the dirty air has an effect. So in theory alot more overtaking.The rumours of the new cars only being 4-5 tenths off this years cars has me sceptical already, ground effect influence will help a lot but these machines are so complex you just know dirty air will still be a thing.
I don't like Liverpool and they are multi premier league capableYou don't understand why people like someone who is multi WC capable? Strange.
Great race, well done Max! Happy for Sergio too. Hopefully does even better in his home GP!
Spare a thought for Perez with no access to a drink in that ridiculous heat.I feel drained from watching that. God knows how the drivers must feel
It's fine if you don't like Liverpool. Why do you think other people won't like Liverpool or Max though?I don't like Liverpool and they are multi premier league capable
They obviously do, I don't understand why they like Max though since I think he's a massive prickIt's fine if you don't like Liverpool. Why do you think other people won't like Liverpool or Max though?
There seems to be a fantasy narrative with some people on here that somehow Max is the underdog this year and has dragged a average RedBull car to greatness. If he was driving a Haas, then that Haas would be challenging for the title as well.How do people actually watch the race and say stuff like Redbull was slower. Hamilton had a great start with clean air in front of him but couldn’t pull away at all,does that not show anything
That sounds promising for sure. As you say, qualifying could be fun trying to time slipstream?At present when the following car is within 2 seconds it can lose upto 80% downforce in dirty air. The projections are that the loss next year will be 15-20%, meaning that the following car will be able to get very close, somewhere around 0.2-0.5 behind before the dirty air has an effect. So in theory alot more overtaking.
The ramifications of this could be huge not only in race but also in qually. For example at Singapore you currently need a 6 second gap between you and the car in front during qually for all the turbulent air to settle down. Next year in theory that turbulent air could be down to a second or less. Regardless next season is going to be very interesting.
There's probably no shortage of people who thought Keane was a massive prick. You don't always support angels in competitive sports.They obviously do, I don't understand why they like Max though since I think he's a massive prick
Very interesting... a safety car... a mistake and all of a sudden there can be a big changeVery good drive from Max and great tactics with the first undercut and pitting early on second stop to prevent undercut from Lewis.
Also great drive from Lewis, thought he will get the win after that initial pace after the second stop but that pace took away tire advantage.
I hope that Max keeps calm head and win the championship but there is no denying that Lewis is proving wrong everyone who were saying that he has won all those championships just because of Mercedes advantage.
Interesting 5 races awaits.
