But anything for hype
Max is class of the field, but that pass is is a dime a dozen at this circuit with cars that actually race each other, and with the lack of action, it’s going to be shown over and over again.napoleon1981 wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 15:13Tell Perez that at p11 behind a Haas....Hoffman900 wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 15:12That was a pretty standard pass for this circuit.101FlyingDutchman wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 15:10

I feel like Norris is now managing behind the Merc knowing the race is for 2nd. I expect him to go by in about 5 laps.

Ferrari’s coming on a little stronger than I thought, but still early days.
It's his ability to set it up and instantly make most of the best opportunity. The pass itself was not the magical part. It's the way he made it easy for himself. Close the gap quick and commit before the tires overheat and you are stuck.Hoffman900 wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 15:16Max is class of the field, but that pass is is a dime a dozen at this circuit with cars that actually race each other, and with the lack of action, it’s going to be shown over and over again.napoleon1981 wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 15:13Tell Perez that at p11 behind a Haas....Hoffman900 wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 15:12

I’m not making a dig at Max, I’m making a dig at how far the F1 hype machine stretches itself to make anything look more exciting than it is, and that includes adding the words “brave” to something racing drivers and motorcycle racers do here all the time.
