If it's about car weight issue, do you think Max was responsible for cost cap breach that gave unfair advantage to Red Bull in 2021/22?
Yup, true Hail Mary strategy.organic wrote: ↑28 Jul 2024, 20:12I meant that he was disqualified.

To me George's drive is just typical of him: he looks to gamble on a SC/alternate strategy/rain when he's not competitive with Lewis on the same strategy. This was one instance where it did pay off but I can remember a lot of weekends where he lost a lot of points in those attempts.
All cars get weighed. Only select few get additional checks.
Aye it’s the first time I can think of where one of Russell’s on the fly has worked, and there was no other option really. Everyone apart from Russell looked underwhelmed afterwards, probably thinking, there was a win there, why didn’t we do that. No one expected Pirelli to bring a WEC tyre…214270 wrote: ↑28 Jul 2024, 20:25Yup, true Hail Mary strategy.organic wrote: ↑28 Jul 2024, 20:12I meant that he was disqualified.

Since they were in Parc Ferme, did they have the same checks after qualifying?Luscion wrote: ↑28 Jul 2024, 20:27yea

No, difference is in Hungary Piastri never wanted to pit 2 laps after Lando. Here it was Russel's call for one stop.GrizzleBoy wrote: ↑28 Jul 2024, 17:12I dont see today as any different than Hungary now that I think about it.
Lead driver gets worse tyre strategy due to team doing what they can to cover other teams and maximise points, and second driver ends up leading on a track where you can't overtake easily without a large enough delta. The tyres didn't provide enough delta and George's downforce setup effectively negated the DRS.
Difference here is the lack of acknowledging the gifted track position to the second driver due to their performance on the tyres, which didn't seem to be the actual difference maker in the race.
Actually what I heard for this thema over the years, 1,5 kg would be my assumption.venkyhere wrote: ↑28 Jul 2024, 19:42Mate, it's impossible to pickup 1.5kg of rubber with 4 tyres in one lap.GrizzleBoy wrote: ↑28 Jul 2024, 19:37If I'm Lewis Hamilton, the side eye from me is going to be unreal.
Because if this track had a cool down lap and George pickup up rubbish on his tyres and passed the weigh in, it means I went through quali and the race with near 2KG more weight on.my car than my team mate did, still qualified better, raced better and got a win taken from me without me ever noticing....if not for the lack of cool down lap.....
And I'd need to know why immediately.
The car was exactly at the limit before any fuel was removed. The scrutineers then removed 2.8 litres, but didn't drain the car completely because they already had the 1 litre sample ("as TR Article 6.5.2 is fulfilled").mwillems wrote: ↑28 Jul 2024, 20:44Since they were in Parc Ferme, did they have the same checks after qualifying?Luscion wrote: ↑28 Jul 2024, 20:27yea

The original notice from the FIA mentions explicitly that after the first fuel drain, that the car was exactly at the right weight to pass.
This seems somewhat fortuitous, right? They took some of the fuel and what was left took them exactly to the weight limit.
Apologies if this has been asked already.
