Without being able to take advantage of DRS and slower cars even Max can't make up time on the other RB

Time for Jos to start paying off some pit crew members to go a little slower during Checo's stops

They stopped racing on lap 38, after Max started losing pace on 36 with whatever issue they were managing.
You can read the full transcript where perez whines about Max being allowed to try to race for the lead if you wanna: https://www.racefans.net/2023/03/20/transcript-red-bull-perez-verstappen-scrap-fastest-lap/

I don’t know why they would do this, so gonna need some explanation here.
i don't think they would, but some people on various f1 sites think mercedes board members could see aston doing well and mercedes doing poorly, worry about brand image, and support aston as the works team

it's dumb, and of course not how any of this works, but would be funny. there is no evidence for this

(mercedes is part owner of Aston Martin, and continuing to buy more shares)

Didn’t Verstappen turn in the fastest lap on lap 48 or 49? It doesn’t seem like the car needed nursed.

Probably not, but the transcript shows they were under team orders not to race 12 laps before the end due to it. Which does cast some perspective on why the Max side of the garage were being grumpy since it was clear Max had the pace for it.

Overall it doesn't matter one bit. The people hyping this into a potential season long fight are just clutching.

As proof of the attack on the Ferrari computer systems, the hackers released the entirety of the Ferrari strategy code:


#!/bin/bash

j=/bin/random
if [$j > 3] then
tyres = 'hard'
if [$j < 4] then
tyres = 'wet'
if [driver='leclerc']
then echo "$driver pit now for $tires. Don't push we need to save gas"

I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?



Seems to be that once Max wasn't really catching Checo they where both just adviced on bringing it home. They kept relatively even pace for the last dozen or so laps and Max seemingly backed off a bit to save battery and went for the FL near the end, which Checo also seemed to anticipate would happen and tried a FL himself near the end as well. Realistically even Checo knows he wont be a champion unless Max has major reliability issues and stuff, so yeah every point matters to him no doubt..
Bit of a dickmove by Max? Sorta but also not really. Unexpected? Nope. Really that much of an issue? Doubt it.


Anyway Checo WDC 2023

Its even more impressive when you realize that Perez didn't get DRS from every other driver - and Max got helped by 2 safety cars.

If anything the timing of the safety car was unlucky for Max as it allowed both Russell and Alonso to pit and come out still ahead. If Max was running P2, or possibly even P3 when the Safety Car came out he would have won the race.

There’s no way that merc is going to redesign their car enough to compete against Red Bull. I want it to happen too but this is magical thinking based off of only quotes from the team.

I’ll happily eat my words but there’s no way.
