Lewis Hamilton jumped into the lead at the start of the Chinese Grand Prix to never give it away again. Pole sitter Valtteri Bottas held on to second and finished there, securing yet another Mercedes 1-2 as Ferrari's Vettel had to settle for third.
Your assumption is wrong! I just wanted to point out what a skilful driver he is, which is a trademark for the greatest drivers in F1, that`s why I like him ...mclaren113 wrote: ↑13 Apr 2019, 09:28It looks like you're a Hamilton hateratanatizante wrote: ↑13 Apr 2019, 09:241.

2. Max didn`t do his final hot lap for being stopped by the driver's train created by Lewis ... he said that robbed him the 3rd place on the grid, so just 2 tenths behind Merc ... not bad at all ...
3. Seems that over time in his career each time Lewis has had a perfect car was beaten by his team colleague ... he prevailed only when he hasn`t had a perfect car, something like M.Schumacher, Senna, Alonso did in the past ...it's not Hamilton's fault that RBR released their cars so late..and max was so slow that's why everyone was overtaking him. It's only the 3rd race of the season and you assumed he was beaten by his teammate
Yess ferrari is slower than last year's pole by 0.8 sec and mercedes is faster than last year's fastest Mercedes by 0.1 secGrandAxe wrote: ↑13 Apr 2019, 09:37Ah, I see. I thought you meant Ferrari was 0.8 sec slower than last year, while Merc (0.3 sec ahead of Ferrari) were faster than last year.mclaren113 wrote: ↑13 Apr 2019, 09:30Last year's qualifying vettel on pole 31.0
Fastest Mercedes 31.6
Fastest RBR 31.7
Maybe you should stop assuming stuff you can't really prove. Your guess is that Mercedes is better when it's warm, but Bahrain's track was the warmest of all we've seen until now. Ferrari didn't have any problems there. Melbourne was a big anomaly because Ferrari had other significant issues.atanatizante wrote: ↑13 Apr 2019, 09:241.

No, I think it is Horner's fault. Max was passed by the Ferraris and thought it was over ("We are finished right?") and Horner said "Yes we are done". But he was passed after that by the Renaults who still made a lap...FrukostScones wrote: ↑13 Apr 2019, 09:39VER ruins it himself:

or did VER have a prob with the car? pushed the wrong button in anger about VET overtaking him (or already before?)....
then maybe it was all VET fault maybe... anyway... the others just can't wait to have the clock run down... like poor GASly.
VER was waiting for Leclerc to put the throttle, once it was his turn, Vettel popped up there. He had to back off not to crash. T16 was already compromised, and his final run was thereby done even if he got in time for the flag. Getting in time for the flag was not relevant anymore.FrukostScones wrote: ↑13 Apr 2019, 09:39VER ruins it himself:

In China you claim the cooling track played in hands of Ferrari. What's your proof other than completely guessing it?
Bahrain was warmer than China and Ferrari was more dominant there. If any, this would show that they were more comfortable when it was warm. Your points don't make sense. We still don't know which temperatures suit each team.
In terms of track temperature, it was much cooler in Bahrain than it was Melbourne (a difference of 16 C).LM10 wrote: ↑13 Apr 2019, 09:51Maybe you should stop assuming stuff you can't really prove.

The thing is, Max couldn't have immediately bolted on the throttle once Seb passed him because he needed to avoid his dirty air to make any sort of lap time gain. In the process, the Renault drivers passed him as well.DutchDopey wrote: ↑13 Apr 2019, 10:06Ah that could be, my mistake.Schuttelberg wrote: ↑13 Apr 2019, 10:02I think that was his race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase.DutchDopey wrote: ↑13 Apr 2019, 09:54
