Hamilton was so weak today, I think Russell is faster than he.
Alright when was that again.....?
- Thread starter Bram Hengeveld
- Start date

All of a sudden.... Red Bull is the best car !!
Oh wait... maybe... maybe the driver also matters?
Happy for Max, and for us: we might get an exciting race now
Doesn't quite work like that, we know that the Red Bull doesn't have the grunt of the Merc or the gadgets, what it does have is probably the best chassis in the field.
Also like it or not we can see that Max is just very very good, he is, for me, close to Marquez level but in F1.
The key point is, but many just ignore it, Russell was 18th, nearly 3 secs off the pace........
The driver might matter, but the bigger the advantage of the car, the less it matters....
Lewis had, what is to 99.9% of fit people under 60 just a cold. So I expected him to be at the front straight away. (save telling me about your next door neighbours sons dads friend who died of it please, I know many who have died of all sorts of stuff, people do die, get used to it, you will one day)
Also one of the reasons to leave qualifying to the last secs is you get the track at its most rubbered in state...... Red Bull timed it well...this very well could of played a part, i can see Merc jumping Max in the race)
mod-edit: we've really had enough of your trolling

You have to understand F1 drivers are puppets. They are trained to deal with press like this. The only driver i know that shared data with team mate was Prost and Lauda. In most cases the drivers want different things from car's handling based on how they drive the car. So sharing data is not helpful. The teams are split into car 1 and car 2 and a few others that work between garage. Its all about what works for you not someone else.
I gave you a thread reply ban but reading through your comments I decided on a temporary ban.
Your COVID denying forces me to boot you. Go somewhere else denying this decease while we all have friends and family in hospitals fighting for their lives or even worse have lost the fight to this virus already. You're an absolute disgrace, get out.
Can try again in the new year or even better just stay away entirely.
Well done very quick that was. There can be no excuse from Mercedes - MV was the best today.
Tracks can get faster as the session progresses (even this one), but nevertheless this shows how good MV is.

The best commentator in F1 is Murray Walker, Never drove a Grandprix. But he had passion and excitement. He represented the fan watching the race. The sky TV crew seem to check their personality at the door before they go live. They are worse than the 2 Canadian guys from TSN Network. Jerry Donaldson (Who did drive F1) but seemed dull and slow in conversation. And Vic Vater who is a Media person that will comentate anything on TV for TSN. The closest to Murray walker is a man named David Hobbs with a American chanell called Speed Vision that disapeared from my basic cable TV package years ago.
Then how do you explain Nico Rosberg, and Alain Prost? They both won titles in the same car when driving with Lewis Hamilton, and Ayrton Senna as their teammates.
Sometimes i think i should do like in the 90's and turn audio off and let the charts do the talking. Its not what the comentary team say, thogh i call BS on some quotes (Your biggest rival is team make as he has same machinery. That is not how F1 works, one driver will have speshal treatment and hide data from team mate i am shore) Why do you think team mates run into each other. They are fighting a battle for respect in team. I am also a advanced fan as i know a lot and the commentators are keeping it simple for casual fans.
Well too bad for Russell because it's not car, it's Lewis's car to race. Russell would just end up driving over something again anyway.

@Simberia
Because its over a season, reliability etc plays a part etc.
Come you know all of this...
Nico was lucky. He was lucky to be in the Merc too as he was a nowhere man before that car.
(caveat being he helped develop it with Michael at least)
That Senna and Prost were both great drivers is undisputable.
That Lewis is a great driver is undisputable.
That Nico and Bottas are? Very debatable...
Either that or it will become worse for McLaren. I wouldn't have changed engines for 2021 if I were at McLaren. The Renault engine doesn't seem so bad.

What mode did Merc run in Q, -1000? That’s only thing to explain Merc being only .3sec ahead of Albon on Merc track.
Could be that the engine or chassis is at the end of it's life.What mode did Merc run in Q, -1000? That’s only thing to explain Merc being only .3sec ahead of Albon on Merc track.
