Lewis Hamilton outpaced Max Verstappen to take pole position for the German Grand Prix. It ended up in a fairly straight forward affair for the Briton, as both Ferraris, who had been closest earlier in the weekend, suffered technical trouble.

True. But the extreme dominance of the Merc makes it hard to seperate what is driver skill and what is car plus a poor teammate in wet conditionsArtur Craft wrote: ↑27 Jul 2019, 13:47Is that why He almost lost pole, twice, to Vettel, in Sepang, despite much better car??? Also, check 2012 wet qualifyings to see who is really good on the wet, when no car was dominant. Another myth regarding the super hyped LHbonjon1979 wrote: ↑25 Jul 2019, 00:16
As a general rule, Hamilton is king in the wet. He’s won every single set race since 2014.
So your argument against LH not being good in the wet is that Vettel is great in the wet. And you choose the German GP thread to make that statement.

. turn 1 is also fast AF.
In the two wet qualifying sessions in 2012, Hamilton got p8, to Button's p18 in Silverstone, and he got p8 again to Button's p7, but with 7/100ths between them and both 4 seconds off the pace.Artur Craft wrote: ↑27 Jul 2019, 13:47Is that why He almost lost pole, twice, to Vettel, in Sepang, despite much better car???

Thanks for sharing! That is quick as the Red Bull 2010. Haas have traditionally lots of downforceJuzh wrote: ↑27 Jul 2019, 14:21Grosjean flat trough 11

Haas has crazy downforce this year. They often go through high speed corners with the least amount of lift.Juzh wrote: ↑27 Jul 2019, 14:21Grosjean flat trough 11

i'd rather wait and see before guessing around ....
Cough, fp3, cough. But yeah, to me it somewhat looks like they've tried to build a package with less drag, less downforce but better efficiency. Less strong in twisty sections but with the intention to lose less on the straights. If that is their goal then you'd almost think they'd run the old car at higher downforce tracks and the new car at Monza/Spa/etc. In free practice if the engine is turned way down it may turn out that they gain all that gap back in the S2 when it comes to qualifying/race, if they weren't turned down any more than Ferrari then it seems like they've given up all their gains in twisty sections to gain next to nothing back on the straights. At several tracks they are 2-5/10ths up in twisty sections but 2-4/10ths down on straights. If they give up all the gain in corners to gain only a few tenths back in straights then they'll lose out.
I was just referring to how the car reacted, the front didn't seem to bite, and the rear we went from being twitchy to straight up snappy.drunkf1fan wrote: ↑27 Jul 2019, 15:01Initial impressions are certainly not that it's a huge step forwards package wise, but that doesn't mean it isn't.
