Well, you will. Best to ignore itFittingMechanics wrote: ↑31 Aug 2024, 17:13That is how it is done. Max is not perfect when under pressure.

Poor guy, the streak of losing P1 after the start is getting too long now. It’s gotta be some sort of record.
It was weird. 1.19.6 on scrubbed tyres in Q2 and the new tyres were significantly slower on both laps. Everyone else could improve, so this was a bit of a freak occurance.FittingMechanics wrote: ↑31 Aug 2024, 17:13That is how it is done. Max is not perfect when under pressure.

PIA now needs to play the team game and be rear gunner for the rest of the season. Make himself a very wide obstacle and let Lando take a decent lead into the stops. But first and foremost it’s race start executionEmag wrote: ↑31 Aug 2024, 17:53Carlos 3 tenths quicker in S1 but then loses 4 tenths on the rest of the lap. Charles for some reason struggling and is almost 2 tenths down on Carlos there, but a bit faster on the rest of the lap.
McLaren will be vulnerable on the longs straights if they don't start pulling away (assuming they survive the start, which is anything but give based on recent history). Top speed did not improve from FP3, that's the best they got.
Carlos vs Charles. Carlos new engine would have been the reason he was faster than Charles in S1.Emag wrote: ↑31 Aug 2024, 17:53Carlos 3 tenths quicker in S1 but then loses 4 tenths on the rest of the lap.

EDIT: Apparently Lando had a bad first chicane on his last lap. Gap should be 0.1-0.15 to Carlos and almost level with Charles based on his first run. Still, top speed is not as good compared to both Ferrari and the Merc they have behind.
