Not likely, Daniel only gets faster when you give him a better car. Daniel was doing a better job than Perez in the RB in the first half of the season, despite the car being a dog!

Was that the weekend his Renault PU went bang?
The gain doesn't come from the "15cm wider". The gain comes from 'braking as late as possible for the entry into the 90 degree turn' - say the conservative way is to brake 20m earlier than the others who are pushing to the limit. At something like 250kph, 20m is approx 0.2s. That's where the delta really sits. If despite the conservatism, Max is gaining time over others who are really pushing to the limit in T19, that can only mean : (a) others are sliding mid-corner and/or (b) they have lower speed coming into T19 because of poorer exit from previous corner.avantman wrote: ↑19 Oct 2024, 01:06I just had a look into telemetry. Ver was fastest and faster than everyone in top 5 in T19, and as fast as others at worst in T20. Wasn't conservative there at all, precise rather. Being 15cm wider on the exit doesnt gain you a whole lot of laptime in such corner. Norris telemetry looks particularly horrible through T19. Looks super conservative indeed to put it mildly. Lost pole there.
Ham was almost 3 tenths up on Max coming into T12 where he got Yellow flag and made a mistake after. Would've been an easy pole otherwise.
Nonsense! Complete and utter. Lando braked later than Max into T19 and got trashed overall. Just go and study the telemetry, theory is not enough. Braking late doesnt make you go faster through 200+kph corner.
