Congrats on the boring race F1.

Congrats to Lando for forcing Max to wake up from his nap and try for the last 3 minutes.

“Only Max could achieve a podium with that crap of a car. Lando should have won the race with ease, followed by Ferrari.
Perez got stuck in 2021 with only defending against Hamilton. What was he and RBR thinking? It was obvious even for me that it could cost them the race.

RBR is nowhere and they are going backwards. Soon even a driver like Max won't be able to make up for the gap.

And BTW, competing at two world class events (with stronger competition in iRacing) on the same day and winning both, should tell you how special this guy is.”

Wait what Max fans think he's outperforming a bad car rather than Perez just being wank?

Yes the narrative among certain parts of the fanbase it’s that it’s the 5th best car and the Mercedes-Benz engine has a 50HP advantage.

Mar 12, 2018
The last time Mercedes-Benz had that kind of advantage was 2016. It’s actually been worse than the Ferrari and Honda since 2022 by some margin, and was surpassed by Ferrari in 2017-2018/early 2019 (oil burning thing.) and Honda in 2021.

The problem Red Bull have is who wants to be the #2 at their team, a place where you're going to be reminded constantly that you're playing a support role. Sainz could be given a contract tomorrow to drive for them and I'm sure he'd rather wait for the end of the year.

I missed the first half of the race and had it on in the background until the last 10 laps which I think was the ideal viewing experience.

Didn't they just fill the wind tunnel a few years ago that you could put two cars in? So just shove both cars in there once a month and make sure that there isn't a certain deflection of air.

Project Farm is getting too far out of his lane the past few months. Delving into products that don't have good quantitative measurements, doing too many measurements that don't actually mean anything with the use of the products, and has increasingly questionable methodology in his testing.

He is the Mercedes F1 of Youtube review channels.

What's a certain deflection of air? How do you measure that? Does this mean cars can't introduce aero updates between tests?

It's just obviously unworkable on the face of it. "Just do magic" alright I guess

Hire Newey to figure out the first two, and no aero updates between tests.

Where I'm wondering what happened is that while Lando and Leclerc were battling, Max expanded his lead out to about 7.5 seconds. Then one lap he just randomly dropped a full second. Then a few laps later he dropped almost a full second again. Lando put in some really quick laps to try to chase him down at the end, but I doubt he even tries without Max gifting him a whole bunch of time.
