Re: 2024 Miami Grand Prix Race Thread
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...

Re: 2024 Miami Grand Prix Race Thread
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...

Re: 2024 Miami Grand Prix Race Thread
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...

Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?
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...

Re: 2024 Miami Grand Prix Race Thread

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...

Re: 2024 Miami Grand Prix Race Thread
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...

Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?
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...

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.

Re: 2024 Miami Grand Prix Race Thread
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 ...

Re: 2024 Miami Grand Prix Race Thread
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.

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.
