Although Charles Leclerc salvaged with a second place at the Temple of speed it was Max Verstappen who won on Ferrari's home ground. The Dutch driver was miles ahead when the race was neutralised 6 laps from the end. George Russell completed the podium in third.
Well, seems it isn't. It's what I guess many people expected though, and some try to argue that RB has a dominant car over Ferrari all season.
You conflate being fast in qualifying with being fast in the race. You cannot deny that the RedBull is the fastest car in the races. Heck their average 2nd driver is 2nd in the championship and he is barely even with 15 seconds of his teammate at the end of races.
Yeah obviously I was being sarcastic. It’s really obvious Spa was an outlier. Presumably mostly because of the increased ride height required which just doesn’t bother the RB18 at all.
I'm just guessing, but someone said previously that RB takes a while to get to that fast lap, so it might be set up for race rather than pole, we'll see tomorrow, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if Ferrari burn through their tires and Max just breezes past
I’m not saying anything about Ferrari being fast tomorrow. All I said is I don’t think red bull is dominant this week. Could definitely still be the faster race car on Sunday and likely to be, but we have to see the race pan out to declare that. Red bull for sure have the overall faster car lately.politburo wrote: ↑10 Sep 2022, 17:06You conflate being fast in qualifying with being fast in the race.

it was my poor attempt at being sarcastic
The Zandvoort discussion really is even more silly after today.
Ferrari faster than RB in the race: Monaco, Spain, Bahrain, Australia, Austria maybe Canadapolitburo wrote: ↑10 Sep 2022, 17:06You conflate being fast in qualifying with being fast in the race.
