Sorry, I do not understand your point. You think the time loss when pitting under the VSC is 15 seconds? To me your Perez under VSC time is too quick, his pace under race conditions was 15 seconds (pit entry to exit) . Surprised he does it in 18 seconds under VSC conditions without driving those de...

Johnson

You are using the VSC loss as the benchmark. Clearly Perez was able to cover that piece of track when catching up to the safety car without pitting 14 or 15 seconds faster than the actual pit stop window permitted. Either Perez was driving too fast or Perez drove to a different delta under VSC cond...

Johnson

The timing of Perez was the actual lap after the safety car was deployed and before he caught up to the safety car. When I watched the onboard of Norris, his race engineer told him to drive to the delta. So I am confused when you think the numbers do not add up. The difference between Perez and Nor...

I have had a go at the timings. All pit entry to pit exit, timings as per F1TV race repeat. Norris on his pit lap: 54:12 - 54:45 = 33s Verstappen behind the safety car: 54:48 - 55:09 = 21s Perez driving to the delta 54:59 - 55:17 = 18s Verstappen on his regular pit stop: 44:15 - 44:47 = 32s All tim...

I think 2022 is very easy to explain, in simple terms. First half: 50/50 Second half: 100/0 (150-50) A little simplified with the odd exception but it pretty much tells you the story of the season. Not too dissimilar to 2013, although Red Bull still edged the first half vs Ferrari. First half: 60/40...

Johnson

I am asking, where are the times on the official site. Link please?

For those that have access to the onboards, what happened with Verstappen and the SC? Why did he get stuck behind it? Was it the SC driver or Max's error? This article makes it sound like it was a race control decision, according to the FIA (whoever that was speaking on their behalf). "It was a lat...

I just watched it again, Verstappen actually was losing more time than I thought to Norris. On lap 24 he was 9.5 seconds behind. On SC deployment on lap 28, the gap was 11.5 and it gradually grew every sector. He gained 2.0 seconds in 4 laps. Leclerc also gained 1.2 seconds in those 4 laps on Verst...

Johnson

I don't think he was far enough ahead. If I recall correctly (but have to rewatch this part for sure) he also just missed the pit entry as the safety car was brought out. That would have put him further down, but it depends of course where the safety car would have picked him up. Norris was 11.316s...

Johnson

Hmm, I sense certain energy here that Lando was only lucky, won because of SC etc. Luck is one of the factors in the sport and he used it, not the luckiest of SCs in the recent years to be honest... I don't remember (correct me if I'm wrong) that Ricciardo's Monza '21 win was commented like that, a...

Johnson

Whilst I don’t disagree with any of those objections. I was just pointing out that building a 3-4 second lead would be considered having a clear pace advantage when the cars are close. The bar changes with how dominant the cars are. Max did build a 3.8 second lead before he hit the bollard and we ne...

Johnson

It’s funny how perspectives change with dominance. A car building a 3.5 second lead in the opening 20 odds laps… 2021 - Mercedes/Red Bull clearly better he built a sizeable lead of 3.5 seconds. 2024 - Not clearly the best car, he couldn’t even build a 5.. 10… second lead in the first stint. Max was ...

Johnson

this race yesterday was a fine reminder that without the car Max cant win just like everyone in f1, and that he does mistakes too. Counterpoint - Had it not been for a dose of bad luck he may well have won the race without having the best car on the day. Counter counter point - devils advocate - he...

Johnson

Wasn't Norris going to be in the lead of the race anyway? I don't think he was far enough ahead. If I recall correctly (but have to rewatch this part for sure) he also just missed the pit entry as the safety car was brought out. That would have put him further down, but it depends of course where t...

The two times Verstappen has been missing a bit of pace and we might have had a genuine fight for the win, a SC has gifted the other driver the lead. Baku 23 and now. It would have been an interesting end to the race without the SC. Lando had the lead, 11.5 seconds. He grew his lead over Max from 10...

Johnson

I see the outrage over the safety car picking up the wrong leader has caused the forum to explode. Oh, wait, this is Red Bull at the receiving end, nothing to see here. P.s. Very happy for Norris to break his duck and he probably had the pace today to beat Verstappen on merit. Wasn't Norris going t...

Johnson

They actually have the driver tracking up on screen the moment the SC deploys (nice graphic). The second it deploys, Lando is on the pit straight and he is passed the pit exit within 8 seconds. So it would not have been possible for the SC to pick him up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0dhwQT_LY8 ...

Magnussen has now accumulated a total of 10 penalty points. If he gets 2 more penalty points before 9th March 2025, he will face a race ban.
What's the odds of that actually happening.

Extremely likely, 80%+

Johnson

Mercedes - Hamilton, so off the ball.

It was obvious there was a high chance that Sainz may get a penalty, so what do they do. Finish 5.1 seconds behind him when the entire stint Hamilton was glued to Perez's rear wing... clueless.

Could be a good one ! Called it ;) i think it could have been even more interesting without the SC. Anyways, there is always a next race... Yes, Vertsappen was going to get challenged without the SC. Leclerc on much older hards was able to keep up with him in that final stint. He would have had Nor...

When was the last race, Verstappen was driven away from? Austria 2022?

Johnson

Norris may well win this, but massive slice of luck to do it. All drivers benefit from luck one way or another throughout their career, don't they. Free pitstop but fair run after the restart against Max, deserving winner if he manages to carry it through. Fingers crossed for him. Yes the rain in t...

Do we think piastri got pitted to protect lando. Piastri more likely to cause an issue defending with a damaged car than overtaking cars on fresh rubber

His front wing snapped in half and he lost 3 seconds in next lap. Piastri has actually cost Lando fastest lap and Mclaren a point.

Johnson

If Lando had been P2 at lap 1, I think he could still win this race. He has been fast enough to win this. But he needed some luck to elevate himself to P1. He is the fastest driver today.

Red Bulls only weakness is sprint weekends

McLaren ought to use Oscar to ensure Lando wins.

How?

Norris has it if nothing out of the ordinary goes on

How old are Verstappens tyres compared to Norris?

Johnson

Christian Horny has broken up the biggest winning machine in F1 history by being randy. Talk about butterfly effects. The knock on from this will likely see Red Bull lose the two most valuable people in all of Formula 1 - Verstappen and Newey. Neweys record going into a new rule set is unprecedented...

Johnson

Latest reports are he is negotiating an early exit to move teams for the start of next year. It appears retirement is off the cards. Ferrari or Aston announcement is surely incoming

Johnson

Newey admits in his book to designing the 1998 McLaren whilst on gardening leave from Williams and unable to work for McLaren. McLaren also had a very suspicious Williams like from ng wing go on the car in 1997.

Johnson

Our debate is not if Bottas is better than Max, but him being better than Perez, and Perez paints Max good with his inability. Long story short: 2021 was Bottas' worst against Lewis, he was unmotivated and sacked, obvious why you picked it for comparison. Dont know how Max beat Bottas in 2020, when...
