That's why I think Mercedes should have boxed Hamilton earlier for his 2nd stop and put on the hards, Red Bulls only option would have been to have a longer stint on the mediums.

An utterly spectacular Brazilian Grand Prix ended with Max Verstappen taking victory after a controlled race from pole position. Behind him, Pierre Gasly made it to the podium in a crazy end of the race that involved two safety cars.

maybe it didn't, that's why they have an indicator, and put a rope through for the cranemaxxer wrote: ↑17 Nov 2019, 21:32Maybe the car had a high voltage problem , you want to go in there and get shocked ?Izzy wrote: it was a crap, unsatisfying race. Another SC for a car that was right by an exit gap, only needed a rope, that led to more incidents and another SC, so the result was just all about SC's instead of racing for 300km
It was only a terrible restart because of the relative disparity performance of the cars at that point of the race. He was going to get overtaken by whoever was behind him.Wass85 wrote: ↑17 Nov 2019, 21:33He did so because Lewis had a terrible restart.

It NEVER had anything to do with turbo size of Renault or Honda or anyone else. It had everything to do with Red Bulls ability to create more downforce, specifically at lower speeds which allows them to take care of their tires. There is no magic fairy turbo dust.atanatizante wrote: ↑17 Nov 2019, 21:28Every time in Mexico and Brasil that RB pace was down more to the fact that until last year Renault the biggest turbo hence was the least ICE affected by the high altitude on losing power ...
Now in 2019, Renault went for a smaller turbo and it was Honda that followed this trend and picked up this advantage as we could clearly see at Mexico and here when VER could easily overtake HAM, at least on the first time after the first pit stop.
But for me, the most impresive and decisive argument on my theory was that move made by ALB against both LEC and VET ...
And last but not least, both HAM and Christian Horner praised the progress Honda has made this year, something we welcome for the next year with this mighty Ferrari PU and rumours that Merc finally has had solved their cooling issues and make some progress against Ferrari on PU front ...
OK whatever you say, I personally think it was poor as he let Max get a perfect run on him. Like I said though it didn't really change anything as Lewis wouldn't have had the pace to hold him off anyway.El Scorchio wrote: ↑17 Nov 2019, 21:40It was only a terrible restart because of the relative disparity performance of the cars at that point of the race.

Yup, Leclerc had a taste of his own medicine... he could have given some more room when Vettel passed him, he kept very very close to the road end when Vettel passed him on the right and that annoyed Vettel and made him move to left so that he can bully his teammate... and that made them touch.
He's not. But on Ferrari Vet is the one who has hot head. Vet misbehaved when he try to overtake other guys like Ham or Albon today but he's totally mad when he is battling his temmate.
Maximum deployment on his out lap.
