F1 2022

On F1TV: Alonso's car launched into the air at about the same speed as a 747 taking off.

Also saw that. Sam is top notch, he always has excellent analysis and insight.

When last did Ferrari get 1 and 2 pole?

With or without a new engine penalty or a drivetrain DNF?

Well Alonso is a good Pilot

Webber was better

You can't put strategy aside. RB have been brilliant everywhere, Ferrari have been unreliable in every area.

I reckon Charles in the RB and Max in the Ferrari, Charles would be world champ now.

I reckon, Max in a Mercedes this far in the season, would still be ahead of his Mercedes partner.

HTF did that car still finish 7th today? Besides the landing, the rear axle wacked the barriers properly hard.

Astounding.

We are comparing cars not Drivers.

I'm not saying it's not the car, but clearly there is one driver in this anonymous bar graph below who is skewing the stats.

Max has a faster car on the straight - in Austin RB was like 8km/hr faster at the speed trap than Merc.

We're talking about 2022 now, that thing is dominant. Only a blind person would not see that.

Ferrari has the most dominant car.

Will Buxton's random pauses in the, middle, of, the sentence he, is saying is quite, irritating.

I find him a decent commentator in terms of what he says, but he speaks like a DJ and it's annoying. Palmer is far better.

I reckon, Max in a Mercedes this far in the season, would still be ahead of his Mercedes partner.

I disagree if that partner had been HAM.
They are both brilliant drivers and in equal cars would be close, but HAM has the advantage of experience having already won 7 titles.

max extracts much more out of rb18 than checo. that much is clear

 

[Jean Claude Vaaldamme]

Nobody talking about Alonso being respectable on radio after his future boss’s son almost killed him. Unlike the Alonso we know

 

[UrBaN963]

Max has a faster car on the straight - in Austin RB was like 8km/hr faster at the speed trap than Merc.

13km/h on the one lap.

318 vs 331.

He’s also a better driver but Max has also gone through more drive train elements which could suggest his car is a tuned a little more aggressively too

318 vs 331.

...and tyres
...and exit line from corner
...and slipstream

13km/h on the one lap.

318 vs 331.

I’m not as up to date as you

I agree, MB have managed to beat Ferrari a few times but not Red Bull.

True, but stats don’t always tell the true story, MB did not beat Ferrari a few times, Ferrari gifted MB points a few times.

D-D-DRS

DRS + Bonus Budget 2.0 = superfast

DRS + Bonus Budget 2.0 = superfast

Don’t forget driving on a full stomach lol
