Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?
Good explanation for that. Look how gentle Red Bull is on it's tyres. Although obviously he isn't literally the second coming of Christ.... As far as I know.

Re: 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Race Thread
That is exactly the point. Finding the fastest way around a circuit is what drivers are supposed to do. Instead of designing a circuit that allows that, Formula One continues to add circuits that need to be artificially altered to demarcate "the racing line." You couldn't make it up. You mix up cro...

I'm not, in fact I would be mightily surprised if he were to take the job, even though he said he is considering it. Mercedes don't need him, though there is the one saving grace of having a German driver in a supposedly German team again.UnlikeUday wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 3:29 amIs anyone expecting Vettel to return to F1 with Mercedes?

My point being is that Sainz will not have had the time to progress further if the clock had kept going. I did try to make that point. You did but I don't think it's either accurate or relevant. There was still nearly 7 minutes on the clock. Even with the minute or so it took him to get going there...
