What a humiliation for Lewis- a Williams in front of him.
Verstappen once again proofs to be the best in changeable conditions/ rain.
It will happen, 100%. He has set very much wing, that is why they could be quick in the rain (and because Russell is a fantastic driver) but that will be ideal to give Hamilton a super tow. Max will be under pressure into T5 tomorrow.
George first needs to consistently perform during races- being a one lap wonder doesn’t bring you any WDC’s.
And if/when that happens, no one will complain.
There's two choices, either create a bottleneck at La Source and hope to get a better launch and hold on enough to cover the inside at turn 5, which is possible if it's a wet race start, as they'll have to lift through Eau Rouge, that will make the draft less powerful. The other option is to go wide at La Source and bait George to take the inside and steal his draft. Since the RBR is better under braking it should make the overtake possible with a run into 5, however that makes it easier for Hamilton to get into the mix.Sieper wrote: ↑28 Aug 2021, 17:12It will happen, 100%.

A shame really as Max has set a great performance today.
Max is only 3 tenths ahead of Russell in a Williams. Not so good really when you consider it's normally 2 seconds in the dry.
I would love for George to come to Merc.. But Williams needs him and Mercedes needs Bottas. I see George coming in 2023 and Lewis retiring in 2024.
Every serious fan knows that Russell is a fantastic driver, and they gambled full on a rain set-up. That is why he beat Hamilton (who can’t afford that gamble) and even came close to Max. In the dry tomorrow (which it likely won’t be) he will get eaten alive.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑28 Aug 2021, 17:20Max is only 3 tenths ahead of Russell in a Williams.

Russell made everyone else on the grid look very silly there
Neither of them were driving anywhere near as fast through that corner as they do today, so apples and oranges.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑28 Aug 2021, 16:16I disagree with Sebastian. In the wet why are we holding the drivers to low standards?! Ayrton Senna and Michael would be disappointed.
