Undercut them on the hard tire like Hamilton in Monaco

That’s your opinion, but I think you’re wrong.sosic2121 wrote: ↑05 Jun 2021, 16:15Because of eyes.

He sure helped himself into P10
He was going to have pole or atleast would have finished ahead of Hamilton. This ridiculous assertions should stop. X reacted bad so his race pace is weak !
Actually I think you are right. Lec drove a great lap, but Mercedes' 2nd warm up lap put Lec in a great position for the final straight. He got above average tow there, without paying a penalty for being too close in the corners.
You just believe that Lewis is 1.2s quicker than Valtteri, on a street circuit, after what's happened last race?El Scorchio wrote: ↑05 Jun 2021, 16:16That’s your opinion, but I think you’re wrong.sosic2121 wrote: ↑05 Jun 2021, 16:15Because of eyes. I have eyesEl Scorchio wrote: ↑05 Jun 2021, 15:31

It's a nice setting, a very fast Ferrari in front that may suffer from graining issues, Hamilton with a slightly slower race car than Verstappen. It's now Verstappen with a chance to overtake him like Hamilton did in Spain, and make it stick this time. If Hamilton wins he'll be 3 points ahead of Verstappen, if Verstappen wins Hamilton is 11 points down, then on to France where the Mercedes has traditionally been a very strong car. Things are shaping up nicely!McMika98 wrote: ↑05 Jun 2021, 16:02Just admit it, Redbull should have dominated this track, yet a ferrari mclaren and alpha tauri split them.godlameroso wrote: ↑05 Jun 2021, 15:54Once again fate seems to stop the RBR from qualifying where it's supposed to. Enjoy the show man, it's a long race, a lot can happen, the wind is catching people out in turn 15 and turn 4. I believe it has to do with the way the wind interacts on track. Those turns have run off that allows wind to channel through due to the walls, and the track itself also has wind being channeled. When they meet they create a gust of recirculation at the apex of the corner partly stalling the aero. Normally the cars have a head, or right side cross wind through those corners, but sometimes the wind changes direction.
The drivers will have to be mindful of that in the race because they can easily get caught out in those corners.
As for the race, with the fuel onboard they will have zero issues. Redbull has at least a second advantage in race but crucially Hamilton is ahead of Max.
Wait a minute, I thought HAM overtook VES in Spain with a "slightly slower race car" already...godlameroso wrote: ↑05 Jun 2021, 15:54

I'll gladly swallow it, being wrong doesn't affect me. Failure doesn't make you a loser, blaming your failures on others makes you a loser.HungarianRacer wrote: ↑05 Jun 2021, 16:34Wait a minute, I thought HAM overtook VES in Spain with a "slightly slower race car" already...godlameroso wrote: ↑05 Jun 2021, 15:54

I mean, you can knock on wood all you want, you are prepping yourself yet another bitter pill that - if your prediction fails - you'll have to swallow...
