@Pyrone, you never ever gives up track position unless you are 100% you can get it back and if you have read some reports and heard some interviews, RB wasn't able to match the speed that Mercedes had ....never ever in this race.
If you paid attention, HAM could easily stay within the 2 sec margin behind VER in the 1. Stint
in the 2nd Stint he could close a gap of 6 sec within 3 laps, maybe due to backmarkers or a small mistake, but i am not gonna discuss that.
after HAM changed on Mediums he pounded in best laptimes after best laptimes, Max had to go flatout to match HAM his laptimes but wasn't able to.... RB couldn't bring in because after HAM changed to Med he already had that gap below 20 sec. after the first 2 sectors and that would mean giving up track position, as which i already said you'll never ever do unless you are 100% sure to get it back, which RB wasn't .... and it is hard to overtake at the Hungary track
This is out of topic here, but I must clear something out -
It has been a frustrating weekend for Pierre," he said. "The start wasn't great, the first lap wasn't great, and we shouldn't be racing Saubers and McLarens.
"We need him to be racing Ferraris and Mercedes, and everything we can do to try to help him do that, we will do."
I know the numbers. 44% plus a board of directors made my Mercedes executives is enough. They were the largest shareholder and called the shots.bauc wrote: ↑06 Aug 2019, 10:28This is out of topic here, but I must clear something out -
Mclaren was never a part of Daimler, they owned 44% in shares for a few years but full buy out never materialzed and then Mclaren shareholders bought back the 44% and Mclaren group was formed, then splited into 3 different companies. Mclaren F1, Mclaren ROAD and Mclaren Technologies. Two years ago (#RON'S EXIT), all 3 merged back under one roof after Ron sold his shares.
And first close a gap of 20s, which you will burn to the tyres already, and then fighting against Ham on fresh Mediums, which, as known, would last longer? A lost game, because as said Softs would be gone by the time VER would be near Ham and HAM would have matched the pace of VER for 5 laps and the deal was done anywayrestless wrote: ↑06 Aug 2019, 10:21The chance was switch to softs and try to reverse who's on faster tyreCapharol wrote: ↑05 Aug 2019, 23:40

Vettel made 30 laps on new sfots before overtaking Leclerc, surely tyres used for 2 laps in qualy should be ok for 20 laps...
maybe it could work, maybe not, they still had huge margin to 3rd place. But again - probably they were expecting that hards will be ok till the end
Pirelli expected that, but this prediction failed.
On the other hand, Jenson Button is a Honda company man, admired and loved by Honda Racing. Could Button make an F1 comeback as Verstappen's "wing man"?
Too late for Jenson, his time has gone now. He could do a Kimi type job or 'sort' a lower team but his F1 days are behind him unfortunatelyJordanMugen wrote: ↑06 Aug 2019, 11:21On the other hand, Jenson Button is a Honda company man, admired and loved by Honda Racing.

Moreover, Jenson has already said that it would have been better to have stopped F1 a year earlier.
