Like Max? Max is the king of Crash... even with the best car he goes off track lol.

...and even when he's not under pressure. He could have at least 360 degreed the car last week and continued to win.
Like Max who did so yesterday and then went on to overtake him with ease once more /runs

Uh, not at 10 Gs, no... lol

Video: The incredible impact of G forces in the Supercross

A category such as the supercross forces its riders to be true athletes in order to withstand the high physical load that sport subjects them. Now...
www.motorcyclesports.net www.motorcyclesports.net

20 minutes of racing with max 5g+ there... so race is shorter and very likely fewer G's with each impact... number of impacts very likely fewer too.

Not sure what the "lol" is about, but I beleive the forces involved in proposing in F1 are much lower... less than 1g.

Ferrari are the issue there I think.

Well, for the majority of it yes. Le Clerc for crashing his car for no reason whatsoever.

And people look at Vettel and say he had ample opportunity to win in that Ferrari. They were most likely the problem all along. If he'd stayed at RBR it might have been a completely different story.

Better idea: maybe they should tell Lecrash that he should drive faster and crash less...

There is nobody at Ferrari that consistently gets ANYTHING right!

LOL, please enlighten us how many crashed did he had this year? I know of France. You seem to be an expert on F1 so let us know.
How many crashes had Verstappen had last year when he won the Championship?
How many crashes did Hamilton have last year?
Did you see Verstappen spin yesterday? Did you see Hamilton go wide of the track twice yesterday? Both was just lucky they did not end in the barriers.
How many crashes had Vettel had when driving for Ferrari, even the Tifosi started booing him. How many crashes did Vettel had just this last weekend? Not even this year?

Someone touch you on your studio?

So many questions, but let's focus on 1:

Verstappen 360d yesterday, got past Le Clerc, and then passed him easily a second time.

Sure, Verstappen crashed a few times last year, but he's turned a 40 point disadvantage to an 80 point advantage. And he still won last year.

For the rest...too many questions. Provide us with the answers?
 
Verstappen is driving like a champion - mature, assured and getting results even when he has a bad Saturday. The team behind him is also doing all they can to give him the upper hand by perfecting strategy and pit stops - Ferrari can learn a lot from RB + Max this season. I'm not a fan of Max - never have been - but i recognise what he is doing and how good he is

For sure, getting that first win has made all the difference... RB certainly have given him a superior car.

Not just a car, currently the entire package which includes strategy. Ferrari have a decent car in terms of track performance but their decision making has been horrendous

Lando Norris ‘left conflicted’ by ongoing porpoising row in F1

Lando Norris admits he can see both sides to the porpoising argument, emphasising that safety comes first regarding the health of drivers.
www.planetf1.com www.planetf1.com

This directive introduces a cap on the amount of times a car can bounce over the course of a lap, with Mercedes previously saying that the impact on their drivers reached up to 10G in Baku – twice the peak g-forces they experience on their necks in high-speed corners.

Strange, all the F1 porpoising data that I found online, shows levels of 1 g.

Not sure why they are using a capital "G" in that article?

Unless they mean 10 m/s2, which is just over 1g ?

Very strange.

Fast car means nothing in the hands of a fool, just look at Ferarri. I don't like Max but even I have to admit he's driving like a champ this year.
 
‘Binotto in danger of losing his job during the summer break’: https://www.planetf1.com/news/mattia-binotto-job-danger-ralf-schumacher/

"... Ferrari may return to the track after the summer break without Mattia Binotto at the helm, that’s according to former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher.

Schumacher reckons his days could be numbered.

“I already see him in danger during the summer break,” the former F1 driver turned pundit told Sky Deutschland. “There are too many little things that went wrong and too many technical problems.

“If you get a gift like this, being able to drive for the World Championship and then you endangered it and throw it away, that’s already bitter.” ..."

Thing is... Binotto is a technical guy. I like him. To fire him for not making the best team principal is a bit doff.
Ferrari's problem is they are to nationalistic.
The last time they were properly successful they were being run by a French man with British and South African chief designers / engineers.
Since then it's been Italians all round and it seems strategists and team leads worth their salt are in short supply.
Binotto should be head of engineering.

As principal, is it not within his mandate to appoint better strategists, engineers and mechanics?

It would be dumb to give him the boot, but only if the poor performers aren't given it too...

Binotto did say their goal is not to win the world championship this year and they are doing a sterling job so far in achieving that goal.

Professional Manufacturer Title dodger if we ever saw one.

Didn't he say at the beginning of the year they HAD the car to challenge and possibly win?

I agree, Binotto should have done something about his strategy team.

For others, just listen to the RB head of strategy, how they listened to their drivers and changed strategy real time:
