A perfect plan of execution and a quick rectification of falling behind Russell at the start were key to Max Verstappen's victory at the Spanish Grand Prix. Lando Norris eventually came close but finished second ahead of Lewis Hamilton who confirmed the resurgence of Mercedes.
Perez brings money and he helps sell Red Bulls to Mexico / Central America.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 16:24It finally makes sense to me why RB is keeping Perez for two more years. He will be allowed to retire amicably to be a very important RedBull ambassador for the Americas.
Probably looked at the data of the others and thought it was a good idea, Russell and Sainz could have also either agreed to it or asked for it, unfortunately these things happen, it has happened to Lewis this season already being put on the wrong tireJPower wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 16:26None of that explains why they got put on hards for no reason.Hoffman900 wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 16:24George needs to learn to manage tires
Carlos needs to learn to sell as much gear and be as popular as Lewis.

This. The commentators are carnival barkers trying to keep you engaged and make it interesting, while taking numerous liberties to do so.fourmula1 wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 16:26We over think stuff way too much, commentators have to make it interesting and say “awww it could be so close if the strategy was different” is just talk.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 16:17Look at Max and Perez. We just dont know. One of the engineers were saying the RB still looks a bit more controlled. It is nip and tuck
Watch the race: RB out front able to manage the race, pit at their ideal times, calculate landos finishing time and give their driver a delta. Would have been less than ideal if the start was different but the winning car is the faster car here guys.

They got mislead into thinking the hard was good that's why
George pitted on lap 37, Lewis pitted on lap 44, probably didnt think he could make it or just thought the hard was a better tire looking at the others around them. who knows really
Probably because he’d burn them off in 5 laps. He would be behind the Charles and maybe Carlos by now if they did that
George ate his tyres defending pointlessly against Norris. It’s what he does. Hamilton extended the stint.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 16:30They got mislead into thinking the hard was good that's why
i think Mclaren was the fastest car this race, Norris just lost all the time at the start of the race getting stuck behind Russell and MaxPlatinumZealot wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 16:31Max brings it home. I do not for one secpnd think he is struggling. Good job. I think he made the difference. More championship experience and all.
