This forum contains threads to discuss teams themselves. Anything not technical about the cars, including restructuring, performances etc belongs here.
Higher temps will play into the higher DF choice, and less graining favours Red Bull I would say. Only issue remaining is the choice of 2 meds 1 hard but we'll see. Tyres can be deceiving
Marko wanted mercedes to get in the game he got his wish.
Yep, with McLaren, as said before, they're the 2nd most improved team.
The W15 is maybe a tenth or two slower than RB20 or MCL38 but their drivers make up for it.
Extended the gap to Norris, lmao, but this team was staggeringly incompetent today.
What incompetence do you have in mind? The only alternative I see was going for a Russell type one-stop strat, but that was just one of those lucky calls that work out once in a few years.
Main problem was just pace being nothing special in the dry. Somehow they went from clearly best in the rain to 3rd fastest in the dry, behind mcl and merc.

today Merc was one of the fastest in the race, what are you talking about, Merc and McLaren are the best in pace today
Perez performance was bad, and worse, in the second stint it slowed down Max. I did not bother to check if he achieved the fastest lap at the end?
Max was stuck in a DRS train for the first two stints. There is nothing he could have done better today, maybe pass Leclerc at the end but overtaking was very hard today. Spa became had to overtake this year, seeing how Hamilton couldn't even pass Russell.
Max could have got into the podium or maybe even first, but never with a 10 rank penalty on the grid. Bad call from Red Bull to take the penalty here.

They let Perez put up a DRS train from lap 13 to lap 22 which destroyed Max's race because he couldn't pass Russell since Russell was getting the DRS from Perez.
Those 10 laps took away Max's chance to win.

Talking overall. Yes, here and in Silverstone, fastest race pace, Hungary and Austria 3rd fastest pace.
