I don't think every driver is the same with tire management. Look at Bottas and Hamilton in the same car. Look at Russell and Hamilton in the same car. So there is still a skill there.scuderiabrandon wrote: ↑06 Sep 2024, 18:14The only people who argued against this though were the fans that had to look past the fact to push an agenda. Especially those that enjoy deifying the drivers. I never really though of it as a “theory”.
I just thought it was interesting that the overall tire management of the Mercedes could collapse overnight just because of a floor. It also helps give some context to Red Bull's tire management problems this season, and how quickly it could turn around for them if the balance of the car is corrected. I had previously speculated that it was a suspension issue, but as they reveal that the balance issue has been there for a while, it makes more sense now.
