The explanation is you can go wide at one corner (which they monitor) position yourself better and overtake in the next corner ....

Having initially dropped down to third place, Lewis Hamilton fought his way back up to first to win the Portuguese Grand Prix. Verstappen and Bottas were close throughout the race and completed the podium.
Here is my second reply to this..Below is what Checo said..
Well, there is a pit stop leaderboard, and I think a trophy. Seems like overkill but I guess it’s something which might mean something to the mechanics.maxxer wrote: ↑03 May 2021, 17:21Well if we are going that way lets have a Team of the Day and a Pitstop of the day and give the winner 25k sponsored by AWS or suchEl Scorchio wrote: ↑03 May 2021, 16:44Firstly let me say I agree DOD is really dumb, but it keeps kids like my nephew entertained so I guess it’s good for engaging young viewers etc. It would have a bit of weight or meaning, maybe, if it was decided by an ex-driver each round.
But FWIW I think it was honourable to ignore the Mazepin voters. It was clearly done out of irony/spite and while he’s absolutely not covering himself in glory (and IMO isn’t ready for F1) it’s quite a nasty thing to do so I’m glad they did the right thing and omitted him from the count.
I think Redbull did one in 1.9s ? while merc was average to long?
In addition, track limits aren’t enforced as hard on Starts and Restarts... Norris appears to exceed track limits in T4 before the overtake, but FIA didn’t believe that there was any advantage gained from it... It is interesting though that there is no mention of it on the FIA notes about the incident.Jaeger wrote:Here is my second reply to this..Below is what Checo said..
He initially didn’t resist Norris’ move as Perez had believed the McLaren driver would be told to switch back for track limit violations, something he spoke to his team about, repeatedly, on the radio. “I looked at my mirrors and I thought Lando was totally off the track limit.
“Therefore, I didn’t fight the position hard enough, thinking that he was going to give me back the place,” he explained. “But I probably misjudged that one
It was all Checo's perception..Please leave it to rest...He clearly says "I thought" and "I probably misjudged that one"...

It says it all..End of discussion..
Yeah, it is definitely sad for them they are going to have a tough year pace-wise - but at least they have Williams back there on some races.maxxer wrote: ↑03 May 2021, 15:11Ah see well still a shame then he gets the penalty point in the end even hamilton was close to get a ban by collection them over time.politburo wrote: ↑03 May 2021, 10:04He remarked to the engineer "that "He might have screwed Checo" after Checo went past at T4, which he did since they almost made contact and he slowed Checo down there. At the end he said sorry to the race engineer after knowing about the penalty, at which point the race engineer took fault for not notifying him how close he was. Eve in the FIA document they mentioned that there was no radio. But I doubt they'll appeal since again he was last anyways and it's only 1 penalty point...
Thanks for doing the extra research i find it sad they have to drive the car for the whole year knowing there is no development already , but it is what is i guess for them.
And Hamilton messed up blue flags also this race, his race engineer actually had to tell him he was racing Perez and that he wasn't overtaking a backmarker
They`re like a finely tuned top notch swiss watch when it comes to pit stops. I was amazed they did the last Verstappen stop so quick when a slight error could have cost them.El Scorchio wrote: ↑03 May 2021, 18:19Red Bull are the absolute nuts at pit stops. Very impressive.

1.9 seconds to change all four wheels, let alone just one is completely teddy bonkers
I thought exactly the same thing when it happened. Kimi just stayed straight but somehow after Gio pulled out he ran into the back of him. Gio clearly pulls left again if you look at the track markings.RZS10 wrote: ↑04 May 2021, 12:50My initial suspicion was right, GIO moved right and then left again with Kimi in his slipstream which made Kimi look like a total fool but it explains the situation a bit.
It's clearly visible in the 'best onboards' video on youtube - Kimi's reaction wasn't great (he barely even reacted) but it was partially GIO's fault imho
It's kinda silly to include Kimi's crash from different cars and cameras but not the race winning overtake ... would love to see it from Bottas' onboard

Raikkonen said after the race it was his own fault, as he was looking at/adjusting something on his steering wheel.SiLo wrote: ↑04 May 2021, 12:58I thought exactly the same thing when it happened.

Well yes that can still be true at the same time as Gio moving back across the track after pulling out.El Scorchio wrote: ↑04 May 2021, 13:10Raikkonen said after the race it was his own fault, as he was looking at/adjusting something on his steering wheel.SiLo wrote: ↑04 May 2021, 12:58I thought exactly the same thing when it happened.

This article is wrong in some parts. More downforce should give you better tyre life not the other way around! Not sure how they got that wrong.atanatizante wrote: ↑04 May 2021, 14:47The different rear wing approach that helped Hamilton win:Spacepace wrote: ↑02 May 2021, 18:02What's the benefit of using double pillar?
