In Austria, RB had the best car, Silverstone was one hundred percent the fault of the strategists who put the soft tires, Hungary was the fault of Lando at the start, but there could now be 63 points behind.

After what a rollercoaster this season has been with massive changes of relative performance of the teams, I'm still amazed that people can confidently say that X track will suit Y team.
In fact, the entire clean side got off to a bad start.FittingMechanics wrote: ↑25 Aug 2024, 19:31Btw about the race start, it looks like this was a team issue this time around. Both cars had exactly the same bad launch.
It is possible the team did some changes to the launch trying to improve it and this had both cars execute bad launches.
Can't take you seriously if you think McLaren didn't have the fastest car in Austria.
I can only sympathize with you with the perception of reality, RB brought McLaren we qualified 0.4 seconds. And it was only thanks to a mistake on the pit, Max's mistake after the pit, that Lando was able to catch up with him.Alex_Z wrote: ↑25 Aug 2024, 19:42Can't take you seriously if you think McLaren didn't have the fastest car in Austria.
Didn't RBR take Pole, and controlled the race until they made an error at a pit stop.Alex_Z wrote: ↑25 Aug 2024, 19:42Can't take you seriously if you think McLaren didn't have the fastest car in Austria.
I also think that this is the case. However, Lando said before the start of the race in Hungary that he felt some problems with the throttle pedal. This year he often experiences problems when starting off and accelerating 1-3 gears. After the race, Lando said that he had wheel spin.FittingMechanics wrote: ↑25 Aug 2024, 19:31Btw about the race start, it looks like this was a team issue this time around.

...and yet Oscar in the last 5 races(prior to this race) has the most points out of everybodyDunlay wrote: ↑25 Aug 2024, 16:48Oscar seems to be Webber 2.0. Lando was miles ahead, but Oscar could barely make a single overtake of note. McLaren seems to have screwed Lando in Hungary. Those precious 7 points might just be the difference at the end of the season. Oscar doesn't seem like he can put himself between Lando and Max.
This place is Bipolar lol He outscores Lando over the last 7 races, then he has a crap weekend and it's the usual. It's best ignored.
Oscar has never been faster than Lando in a race this season, they are higher only because of Lando's mistakes. This is a problem, he needs to improve his racing pace.
