sainz underperforming somewhat there. he certainly had a chance later on.
I wonder how fast his lap was that got deleted because of the red flag.
I didn’t do any maths but the sectors looked like he’d have been fourth roughly

That was a good q3 that. A shame Sainz is so out of position. Great from Norris. I think the talk of Mercedes being more off the pace yesterday was premature. They’re basically where they were in Bahrain and Saudi. I think Merc reaped the rewards of hiring two very quick drivers today. I think they...

Re: Why have Mercedes dropped the ball?

What about 2016 for Mercedes best chassis? They were slower than Red Bull in Monaco but had the advantage in Hungary and Singapore where the engine is less important. I admit that 2014 and 2016 were in the grey area, although it should be noted that engine power plays a significant role even around...

1.The Overrated Mercedes Chassis I truly believe that the vast majority of Mercedes' advantage relative to Red Bull and Ferrari from 2014-2017 and 2019-2021 came from the engine, not the chassis. The only exceptions are 2018 and 2019. In 2018, Hamilton simply outclassed Vettel. In 2019, Ferrari had...

Re: Ferrari vs. Red Bull - 2022

Yeah I think I’d agree with your assessment. Ferrari with the very slight edge in Bahrain and the same for Red Bull in Saudi. Red Bull’s superior straight line speed came in handy here.

I’m guessing Ferrari might be better in Australia.
