If Danny Ric were still at McLaren driving this shitbox he'd still be doing laps at Bahrain

Not a fan of Stroll but he did well considering his toe stub and wrist injury.

Does Max lap the field (not including Checo) at some point this season? Will there be a team order to Checo to let Max lap him?

Sudden Loud Noise posted:Does Max lap the field (not including Checo) at some point this season? He had 30-40s on Alonso so it seems likely that he’ll lap the entire field at one point. Doubt RBR will order Checo to let Max lap him unless there’s a really good reason for it. They’d probably just pit him instead.

A really good qualifying session followed by an ok race. Benz are right hosed it looks like though - but it’s a long season.

It seems like they'd have Max back off before they put that much of a gap between him and the field, no point in pushing at all / risking anything past a pit stop delta when a safety car could nullify it. I saw Sargeant let Max past with the blue flags on the last lap at the end of the last straight before the start-finish straight. It's moot because he was in 12th, but I wonder if he would have tried harder to stay ahead of being lapped if he was in 11th in the hopes that some car in the top 10 would break on the last lap

I'm fine with Red Bull running away with the season since that means the race director will focus on cool midfield fights rather than Max driving around an empty track.

Looks like Mercedes is ditching their concept entirely after Bahrain: https://www.independent.co.uk/f1/f1-mercedes-toto-wolff-lewis-hamilton-b2294281.htmlquote:And 24 hours later, team principal Wolff remarkably conceded that the Silver Arrows, the constructor which once dominated the sport, will have to abandon their controversial zero-sidepod concept in order to challenge again. RIP zeropods

harperdc posted:Newey also has been working in racing since the mid 1980s, so he helped work on ground effects cars back then! I don’t think it’s as much his experience there as the overall “can see the air” genius for design combined with an eye for reading the rules and finding the best way to still get what they need from the framework. Early 80s actually - IIRC he started in the last Ground Effect era.

A bit like turning up to a Halloween party dressed as John Wayne Gacy when everybody else has kept it PG-13.
