Mexican Sergio Perez, who notably is still without a drive for 2021, has won his first F1 race of his career at the Sakhir Grand Prix, bouncing back from a heartbreaking engine failure from second place just a week ago. Esteban Ocon and Lance Stroll joined him on a surprising podium.
Then Lewis should be choking as well.
Lol Lewis loves the pressure, Bottas has never seemed to enjoy it!

What a joke!Hoffman900 wrote: ↑04 Dec 2020, 16:31You can’t be serious. See my post above about FP1. George is a talent but I think Valteri has him by .1-.2 in qualifying, which on a track this short, could be the difference in 4 positions.
*.1-.2 here is like .3-.4 at a longer track.

This track is an unusual track so just refering to this event.
Fair point. I thought you're implying Bottas is faster than Russell.Hoffman900 wrote: ↑04 Dec 2020, 16:45For car familiarity.Schuttelberg wrote: ↑04 Dec 2020, 16:41Can you prove this time gap?

Also, I don’t know how grown men can be so emotionally invested in young rich guys, who most would find insufferable if they had to spend any time around.
Being F1Technical, I am more interested in seeing what another driver does jumping from the worst car in the field to the fastest.
You’re going to see closer gaps. That’s just virtue of a shorter lap. That half a second Max has over Alex is going to be more like .1-.2 here.
Two Rookies are here. So cut off FITand AIK and thats half a second gained.
Short lap, easy to get lots of laps and the high statistical sample starts to paint a clear picture. Lots of laps is good, it increases the likelyhood that we get a normal distribution.Hoffman900 wrote: ↑04 Dec 2020, 16:48godlameroso wrote: ↑04 Dec 2020, 16:46Predictably Russell goes to the top.

Again, FP1. People are testing set ups for next year, saving the drivetrain, testing some strategies or mapping, etc.
Well, you yourself pretty arbitrarily stated 'Bottas should beat Russell by 3 tenths minimum in qualifying'. If you're attacking another poster for writing down a few timings, where did you pull that from?Schuttelberg wrote: ↑04 Dec 2020, 16:41Can you prove this time gap?
