someone from autosport said the red bull was not the fastest car for the half the season. not sure how you can say this when they were obviously faster in race trimsince at least miami, the 5th race. and at that point red bull had mostly got a hand on their reliability issues. charles got a lot of poles, but that's because he's a great driver and the ferrari excels at hot laps, but shreds the tires. also as seen in miami. they've gone all in on defending max for some reason. i'm not saying max is a bad driver. he is a bad person though.

This might have something to do with Red Bull (the team that has been the most open to the media for years with Horner talking to whoever would listen) randomly blacklisting someone from a major broadcaster for not spouting the red bull narrative.

Khablam posted:RBR and Ferrari were lining up ver/lec, sai/per for roughly half the season. No one has forgotten the Ferrari memes, but seem to have forgotten they very literally threw away race winning positions for the entire mid part of the season. It was either team's to play for for a long time. eehhh

after miami i don't think you can say red bull had any substantial challenge. even if ferrari didn't throw away places the only time they had the car clearly right was austria. e: drat i knew carlos had a lot of retirements but not that many

Off the top of my head, Spain - threw away the win by everyone's estimation Monaco - didnt win and HAD POLE POSITION Azerbaijan - threw away at least 2nd position from reliability UK - hosed up the late call when it was anyone's to win austria - won france - pole, arguably there on race pace but another classic WTF ferrari strat meltdown

Yeah, without mechanical failures, strategy errors, or unforced acute driver errors, Ferrari looked like they were in a good position for a win in Spain, Monaco, Silverstone (Leclerc), France, and maybe Hungary. Baku and Montreal could have been at least a competition were it not for failures / penalties.

i don't think that shows ferrari had a substantially faster car in race trim for half the season, although ferrari was closer to RB at that point. for the first four or so races I think the ferrari was slightly faster. spain - spain favors the ferrari design relative to the RB, but the RB was right there, even though verstappen went in to the gravel and had DRS problems. monaco - again, favors the ferrari, but RB was right there in qualifying. and sainz got the strategy right somehow. plus it was wet so weird things happen. baku - ferrari had reliability issues because they were pushing the car for top end speed on a track that favors RB. UK - max had damage to the car and a bad drive and finished 7th on a track that favors RB. perez finished second on a track that doesn't favor his driving style. austria - "only time they clearly had the car right" france - leclerc spun out. his tires were going and he would not have held on anyway.

Monaco doesn't count as a race and should have no points. (And no cars, and no race.)

If you stop looking at the results table and what caused them, Ferrari have been consistent enough on pace bar the last 3rd of the season

Imola - The one where Leclerc and Sainz broke the car Spain - The one where Ferrari had reliability issues Monaco - The one where Ferrari strategy struck Baku - The one where Ferrari blew up France - The one where Leclerc breaks the car again. Austria - The one where Ferrari blows up again, but this time it's only one car Hungary - The one where Ferrari strategy strategy struck again

Pretty ridiculous if you ask me. The Ferrari is certainly faster over a single lap generally.

They also would get really mad when you would (correctly) point out that PdR was actually faster.

Yeah there's a lot people desperate to blame things being hosed on either Ukraine or the mini-budget, when the reality is that the country has been running on fumes for the past decade and things are finally starting to collapse as a result.

The only good Schumacher in DTM was Michael who hosed right off after one race. At least David even lacks the skill to actually kill someone with a GT3 car...I mean he tried all year but ended up in the hospital by his own.
