I hope Merc never figures its car out and next year is a bitterly close contest between McLaren and Alpine

I hope they schedule Max and Dan in the press conferences for the rest of the year now that Dan is not racing next year (or most likely every again in F1).

Simplex posted:I think it's because Ferrari probably had the best car up until the summer break, but pissed away any advantage with bad driving and insane decisions. Since Spa, the Red Bull has been untouchable on track making Max's second title inevitable and the season since has been pretty processional. i don't think ferrari had the best car past maybe like the third week or whenever it is red bull figured out how to keep the power unit from exploding every week like, at times it looks like it's had the pace or the handling to keep up with red bull, but at no time has ferarri ever been able to keep the car going as fast as the top of the field while also keeping it from turning into a burning wreck

It would’ve been a Ferrari 1-2 if not for plan D (as in Destroy Sainz’ engine). Mao Zedong Thot posted:yeah max was a great end to hamiltons reign, wouldn't mind if he got a few more, but hopefully more real competition next year Yeah, he is the best driver but the car is also far ahead. The season was more exciting at the start when Ferrari seemed to be able to win too.

net work error posted:Too many races  Declan MacManus posted:i don't think ferrari had the best car past maybe like the third week or whenever it is red bull figured out how to keep the power unit from exploding every week I think the strength of the Ferrari (and to an extent Charles) is qualifying, the Ferrari seems to be able to turn the tires on really quickly. But this turns into a weakness if they’re not setting the pace in clean air, the fronts especially burn off if they’re trying to chase a Red Bull down. There was noise last weekend Mercedes understood (finally) where they were mistaken, but was not something they could fix on this year’s car. Scuttlebutt is the entry to the tunnels on the front of the car.

Ferrari (or Charles) seems to have a very limited performance window. Good at qualifying and generally has a spell where they are as fast/faster than redbull but then drops off big time.

Herbert is a moron. This is how Max found out he is world champion:quote:Herbert (while interviewing Perez): It seems Charles got a five second penalty for going through the chicane. Max! I think maybe its have changed for you. Come back in. Charler [sic] got a five second penalty there after the little sort of race we had with, errr, with Sergio. World Champion. No ceremony, no showmanship, no talent, just a moron saying words. I love that Max basically assumed that Herbert and the FIA are incompetents and just didn't believe it. I don't really like him, but Max has been the best driver this year. The pass on LEC at T1 and T2 on the first lap really was very good, and he held his nerve through what could have been a tricky restart and race. LEC was no where near and it was always going to be here or the next race. I don't agree that LEC gained an advantage by leaving the track - he lost time to Perez between leaving the track and rejoining - it doesn't really make a difference to the WDC though. Red bull's double stack to completely gently caress LEC was actually very impressive. I hate them, but at least they are good at what they do. Meanwhile I will keep an eye on the rest of the season to see what new and exciting ways the Ferrari clownshow messes up.

After an extensive investigation the FIA has determined that RBR overspent the cap by 15 million dollars. After checking with RBR directly to see if they are okay with the punishment we will be implementing a firm wrist slap into Christian Horner later this year.

Said he was going too fast for double yellows but not saying anything about the tractor Gasly said in the interview that he was driving slower than the deltas on the dash. Drivers take the piss under double waved yellows so often that I'd be open to the idea of a pit-lane style speed limiter that needs to be activated in that section of the track. The official rules for double waved yellows is to slow down and be prepared to stop, lifting slightly for half a second isn't that.

When McLaren got the full season DSQ for stealing Ferrari's homework the drivers were still allowed to keep their points so its possible even the most severe punishment for Red Bull still lets Max have his WDC
