dumb question incoming
all the commentators during/after the race said "Ferrari is quicker down the stretches but Mercedes is quicker in the corners." 1. Is this actually true? 2. Does it mean anything or is this just race speak? 3. If true, does it mean the Mercedes car has better aero or does it mean their drivers are better or does no one really know?

if a car is quicker in corners they will benefit on tracks with more corners and china has like 16 corners

i don't know the science behind why but it's probably because lewis hamilton is the greatest driver not named lance stroll

Yeah somewhere in the race you'll see a readout of the top speeds reached by every car on the straight and the Ferrari was higher. That doesn't really translate to best laptimes though, for the previous 4 years or something the Williams had the highest speeds because they had a low drag aero setup, but they weren't winning races.

To quote hamilton's 4 in the morning fever dream Rosberg: "Ferrari's just struggling. Ferrari have pitched their car in the wrong place aerodynamically.
They have way too little drag and just way not enough downforce in the corners. That's where they're losing a lot of time. It's not ideal for the fastest possible lap. So they're just in the wrong place with their car."

Works at Monza as well, i remember Vettel being slow af on the straights but he made up a heap of ground on the corners

F1 is a not a spec series so it is actually true.

General prevailing belief is Ferrari has the most horsepower, Red Bull has the best Aero but a weak engine, and Merc are somewhere in-between.

What that actually amounts to is very :shrug: its not much difference, but some tracks definitely favor one car or another and the teams go in knowing that.

Red bull expects to do better on street circuits, for example.

I have never bandwagoned Max on anything except that he is a bad driver/person.

I'd also like to point out that during that race he almost binned it himself like 3 times, just because he was able to recover does not mean he's amazing. The only real wet* expert is Jenson Button
