well he blocked him for like 10 laps lol I think Lando's pace on hard is heavily influenced by this, in clean air he would have been much faster

The intensity is getting similar to 2021 levels. When first clouds started to become evident sometime during the summer, I remember writing about this could be an other 2021 by the end of the season. I did not mean the point difference, or the controversial finale, but rather the desperate uphill battle against a faster car. It is really demanding to watch (to my nerves!), but it is also great to see at the same time.AR3-GP wrote: ↑20 Oct 2024, 23:41To all, don't waste even a second arguing with the others about the race.
Today is a day to celebrate the driver. +5 points on the weekend to the nearest competitor. Verstappen's performance with the car he has been given this weekend was even more exceptional in hindsight. To take the sprint pole and sprint win....he had already defeated the faster Ferraris. To withstand the Mclaren in the GP lap after lap. It was really unbelievable stuff. I thought Max was finished with 16 laps to go. I thought he was finished with 0.5 second gap onto the back straight. I thought he was finished with 0.4 gap onto the main straight. There just aren't many drivers capable of surviving like this. Remember only 1 day ago, the Mclaren driver didn't last 2 laps in front of the Ferrari of Carlos Sainz before making an error and losing the position.
With respect to the car, they had 1 free practice session to dial in the upgrade. Whatever they changed between the sprint and the GP would have been untested changed. I know that sounds like cope but it's the truth. Let's see what they come up with for Mexico next week.
ATR resets every 6 months, June 30th was the reset so December 30th will be based on the position at the end of the season. Once June comes around it’s then based on the standings at the time. So based on coming 3rd we would have 80% compared to 70 and 75%, small differences but big effect.chrisc90 wrote: ↑21 Oct 2024, 01:25WCC is gone now for us. Better to take the extra time in the tunnel. Especially going into a new reg set aswell.
When does the new tunnel come online?
I mean, they say about staff bonuses, but these F1 teams have enough money to give staff a good bonus outside of the WCC

Come on man… Perez arrived after Russell who also had a +5s penalty. I’ll give Max that he is alone out there but with Colapinto and Lawson schooling their team mates hard, Perez shouldn’t be there racing, hard to believe he’s still there.Juzh wrote:Ferrari only 8 points off now. Max to win wdc in a 3rd placed WCC car. Astonishing really. But I'm sure some people will still say it was the best car.
While Verstappen has performed extremely well this season the WCC result is impacted by the absolutely embarrassing performance of Sergio Perez who is by far one of the worst performing driver this year (like last year).
Looks like 2008
