Until Merc fix their engine to the point that Are Lewis can get in there once again, I have to reluctantly give the following statement... Essere Ferrari, may big Sharl keep the frog faced cheat from gaining another ill gotten championship.

First year of F1 since I started watching it that I had absolutely no idea about the new car developments/rules/testing/drama before they actually started racing yesterday. Family member in hospital and a loving war in Europe will do that I guess. Though the distraction was nice. The cars look great, but I'll have to get used to these 17 inch wheels. It's also great to see very different designs, something that will probably disappear next year or even this season when they figure out what works and what doesn't. Race was ok too, a couple of things annoyed me: They don't show the tire changes in the HUD? Or not very often? And were there no camera crews in the constructor area filming Wolf or sweet schadenfreude from Horner? Maybe I missed it, was drinking some beers/trying to dog sit.

Part of the new regs is to limit team managers' ability to create drama during the race. Maybe the race broadcast director has been told not to focus on them either.

https://www.instagram.com/tv/CbVgamkFuIA/?utm_medium=copy_link Gyanyu seems like a nice humble lad to me  I was impressed with his on track performance as well, some decent moves, solid and unafraid driving. That 10th place was definitely on merit and not by lucking in on a good SC position or anything. Glad he seems to be at least okay, and not some fail pay driver.

cgfreak posted:https://www.instagram.com/tv/CbVgamkFuIA/?utm_medium=copy_link Yeah I was positively surprised. Competent driving, went wheel to wheel with Lewis at one point (lol), managed to more or less stick with Bottas' pace, no spins or shunts. Probably a drat good deal for Alfa Romeo all things considered

Never thought I'd be happy with a Ferrari 1-2, but here we are. The Monaco-Italy anthem combo has to be the jauntiest combination going. Mercedes are going to be satisfied that they're not as far off the pace in race trim and they're back in contention when they can sort out their known issues. Putting 27 points on Red Bull and a smaller deficit than expected to Ferrari could be big later on in the season. McLaren seem to have got the worst track and conditions for their issues I think, and their tyre choices only made it worse. Heads are going to roll if they're no closer to fixing the issues after Saudi and Australia. Everyone seemed to get caught out by the new tyres and the track temperature being higher than expected, and I think Pirelli's decision to go with the hardest possible set of compounds is a mistake they may not make again.

At least in Dan's case, he mentioned in the interview after the race that they got to use all three compounds and do a full race distance, so I think they knew early on they weren't fighting for points and treated the whole event as a test. I'm not sure they can do a huge amount before Saudi or even Australia but hopefully they at least know what the problems are.

Zhou did really well for his debut, though in my heart I wish Mick had held on to 10th and got points just to see Guenther's radiant joy/elated swearing.

If this is the case, how the hell did they gently caress up so bad? It's crazy that they're so far back compared to the other high-end midfielders.

Yeah that's why I said after Saudi and Australia, there's a minute chance if they've managed to diagnose exactly what the issue is, that they could rush out parts for those races, but there's no guarantee their first attempts will work. Same for Mercedes. The long season is the best thing in their favour right now. Gasly will obviously be down a PU already, hard to know if Red Bull's issues triggered safety cutoffs and protected their engines. Looks like there's going to be a lot of engine penalties in the final stretch at this rate, especially if the E10 fuel is to blame for Red Bull and is one of the things holding back the Mercedes powered teams.

Every other team got a whole test at this track to optimize their car for it whereas McLaren got basically nothing done, plus they had to run an obviously less than ideal interim brake duct solution. I'm surprised it was this bad but not super surprised it was a bad weekend.

They lucked out with the safety car and whatnot this race, else it would've been a pretty poo poo outing for them. The hard tyre choice granted was weird, but I don't think that Merc has the pace to keep up with the RB/Scud in a straight line. The engine changes to the eco fuel may have hosed them. The car was also still porpoising like crazy with full fuel load.

They weren't as much off the pace in race trim as they are on low fuel single lap runs, but still over half a second off the pace. But if they can get a handle on porpoising, that could be worth more than half a second from what some of the other teams have said, which brings them back into being competitive.

I'm just glad to see the end of Mercs running 40s down the road within 2 laps. The previous V6 hybrid era to this can get in the loving bin. Might actually get some racing this season for once.

If he'd like.. not tried to dive up the inside and just followed in he'd be right on his gearbox. It seemed like Max was just raging and not actually thinking about how to get past. He was also eating up his tires into that corner - T4 was a little more forgiving and in my view it might have been easier to tow into T1, stay behind and brake earlier and let the Scud go deeper then get a good exit and set up for T4 on his tail. Max seemingly kept forcing the issue because the RB was such a rocket down the main straight that the opportunity always presented itself Diet Crack fucked around with this message at 14:59 on Mar 21, 2022 |
