It seems upgrades have added more rear downforce making it understeer more for Max.
No wonder he’s pissed.Silent Storm wrote: ↑21 Jul 2024, 14:22It seems upgrades have added more rear downforce making it understeer more for Max.
I mean, more rear downforce is good from a degradation point of view and it might be like RB18 which was more balanced with fuel on the car than without it. Also explains why Perez was quick before crashing himself to oblivionSilent Storm wrote: ↑21 Jul 2024, 14:22It seems upgrades have added more rear downforce making it understeer more for Max.
No top athlete will perform at his best going to bed at like 5 am. None. It's just absurd. Because remember, the race ends at 3.30, yet by that time his nervous system is fully engaged, he is filled with adrenalin, the bright lights from the monitor have blocked all the melatonin from being secreted. He will take AT least one hour (probably more) to wind down and get good sleep.DDopey wrote: ↑21 Jul 2024, 13:28I think we should let his performance do the talking, not everyone's biorhythm is the same.
This is not the first time he is doing that and his performance hasn't been (visibly) affected by this.Rikhart wrote: ↑21 Jul 2024, 14:43No top athlete will perform at his best going to bed at like 5 am.

Reminds me of the days when people used to say that Hamilton shouldn't go to parties, etc., like he used to when he was younger.DDopey wrote: ↑21 Jul 2024, 13:28I think we should let his performance do the talking, not everyone's biorhythm is the same.
There is a reason why football clubs, for example, have strict internal rules about being not out at night, etc. And it's not just because of alcohol, this goes way before any hamilton, it's absolutely a performance differentiation for any top athlete. In fact it is so for any human being, just you notice a lot more on top tier sports.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑21 Jul 2024, 14:50Reminds me of the days when people used to say that Hamilton shouldn't go to parties, etc., like he used to when he was younger.
Two of the best F1 drivers in history do their own thing and are extremely successful.
