No the teams don't, but if it eases your mind you are free to believe it. You think like yourself they just use gut feeling. It is probably 90% gut feeling. I'd suggest that the bulk of the knowledge that teams have that we do not is about intangibles like a drivers character and what they are like...

The Magnussen thing seems easy to solve... If you commit the same offence twice without losing whilst maintaining your position the second penalty can be a drive through. Job done. Bring back stop-and-go and drive-through penalties full stop. Job done. I'd support that if you significantly raise th...

I know that a theory goes around here which hypothesises that drivers improve in speed after a few years in the sport. In my view, that theory does not hold up, at least not for the very best drivers. Verstappen was quick from the gate, so were Hamilton, Alonso, Schumacher, etc. The speed is either...

Some members see one thing the teams apparently sometimes see something else, then again they have the data and some members can be shorn of context. We have gone over this before without you providing an adequate answer. Ferrari does not have this goldmine of data on Hamilton, as I am sure you mus...

Well, there is another not implausible alternative of course, that of Hamilton and Russell being on a similar level. Whilst I am not saying that it is necessarily the case, it cannot be discounted completely either. Some posters are trying to have their cake and eat it, it seems. Similar level in q...

Hamilton is not even beating Russell anymore. That is enough evidence of a decline in performance unless one considers an even more unfavourable alternative. The only plausible counterargument to a Hamilton decline (IMO) is the idea that Lewis has lost motivation and mentally checked out of Mercede...

It's ridiculous how cars can just park in the pit lane. Hard to know what else they can do. What's to stop someone just not moving at all, can they drive past? I don't know.

Leclerc lost conviction in his excuse before he even finished it.

Maybe a controversial view but whilst Miami's layout is boring to watch cars navigate it does give opportunities for good battles and it's great that overtaking is possible but very difficult.

Just seen turn 1 incident for the first time and for all the condemnation of Hamilton I don't see what he does massively wrong, alonsos already hitting stroll before Hamilton is anywhere near them and there's space up the inside which he uses. Norris unlucky but it is the risk of taking the outside...

This is why Comas did what he probably did that day: 1786129352263938520 But he didn't actually do anything that day. Perhaps watch the video then share your opinion.

So Hamilton gets a drive through penalty for speeding in the pitlane while KMag gets penalised less for breaking the rules 3 times, 3 useless 10 second penalties which he doesn't care about. He was given a black and white warning flag which normally means stop it or next time you get a black flag, ...

Leclerc could have 100% competed with Verstappen into turn 1 at the start of the race but he decided to finish second instead. The respect I have for the grid diminishes almost every race at this point.

I wish drivers raced Verstappen 50% as hard as Magnussen battles everyone for zero points. They might actually win something.

There was only 17 races in 2020, Hamilton missed one race because of Covid and clearly still not fully recovered when he drove the last race of the season, he was slower than Bottas a driver he had been quicker than all season.

:thumbup: Since driver salaries are outside the budget cap, this is where big spenders can throw their money at. Perhaps we now see what Mercedes really thinks of Russell. Shock horror maybe he's not as good as Hamilton after all. Outscored him in year one, got outscored in year 2, schooling him so...

I don't understand why the idea of Hamilton declining is so difficult to stomach for some. He's not an alien. He's subject to ageing just like anybody else and almost all drivers decline as they head into their late 30s let alone 40s. The fact that he can be seen to have declined and yet still be as...

Mercedes didn't have a dominant car in 2019 certainly not against the illegally engined Ferrari, if they had not cheated then Hamilton would have won far more races. In 2020 he won 11 out of the 16 races he competed in, the final race he clearly hadn't fully recovered from Covid. Ratchet that up to...

Your feelings are incorrect. Lewis won Spain in 2021, in part because they had a better strategy than RB, they pitted Lewis for fresh tires late in the race and he caught back up and passed Max. Yep, both teams messed up pitstops in Monza. RB messed up a pitstop in COTA 2022, made Max's job a lot m...

Not that russell was much better today, but this year, Hamilton certainly isn't even looking close to being a top level driver any more. Could quite easily say that half the grid has looked more impressive averaged out than him this season. He sounds so unmotivated on the radio too. He was hundredt...
