] Sainz thinks he could have hold Max and did not want SC. He said something like he was 0.2sec up in the race lol. I think Ferrari did better than expected. May be good moral booster for them especially for Charles because if Sainz was this close. He could have won this race had he started on P1 o...

Very close race like Saudi. SC definitely helped Ferrari. But after the pitstop they were on par with each other. Had Max had a lock up Sainz would have got him for sure. Mercedes also only 7secs off RBR after SC. So only 0.3-0.4sec per lap slower which is much better than qualifying.

Mercedes-Benz

Alonso has been great so far. Sainz would have been P4 again if Charles and Perez were in Q3. He is trying too hard. He did the same in Baku as well. Also good confidence boost for Hamilton. He is usually very strong here so I think it would have been a big blow to him to start behind Russell. Haas ...

Mercedes-Benz

I do not think Alonso is going to play any part unless Max and Alonso have contact lol. Max will lead the race if not in few corners in few laps for sure. If it is wet then may be it will difficult for everyone with no DRS and wet track outside the racing line. I hope it is dry Charles, Perez should...

lol it has nothing to do with diet. Moreover plant based is probably more healthy. May be F1 drivers need to have special workout for their back as well. His personal trainer probably know but pretty sure diet has nothing to do with it.

Mercedes-Benz

Ferrari in qualifying and RBR in the race IMO. Perez after gaining some 2 secs was unable to extend the lead. IMO had Max been there he would ran away with it but I guess we will never know.

In Monaco Ferrari was definitely faster in both qualifying and race eve though they lost points there as well.

Mercedes-Benz

Max, Gasly and Vettel. I would have voted Vettel first but he made a silly mistake otherwise his pace was impressive. Without that mistake I think he would won DOTD in F1 app as well. I noticed that car performance does not matter. Who has most overtakes is likely to get most votes.

Mercedes-Benz

It was little boring race by Baku standard. Perez had great start but Max was easily the fastest driver today. I would like to know where Charles and Sainz would have finished and the differences. IMO Sainz was falling behind very quickly compared to top3. I think he was 4secs off before retiring. C...

Mercedes-Benz

The top 2 teams are in a class of their own. More than 1sec different to the next car 8O . Sainz is trying too hard IMO, Charles seems pretty much invincible in qualifying. I think Vettel is also doing well. He was good in Monaco as well. Perez didnt get the tow but neither did Leclerc tbh. 1st and...

Mercedes-Benz

Perez is the biggest improvement. He was even getting beat by Gasly in AT in many races and especially first 10-15races was no upgrade to Gasly. This year he is pretty even and is probably getting more out of the car in qualifying.

Since the Monaco Grand Prix weekend, Horner has become so neutral. Even if this is for PR due to the Spanish Grand Prix fiasco of team orders, I've never seen Horner so willing to make us assume the team is behind both Red Bull drivers in equal measure. 1533275387215634439 It will depend if he can ...

Mercedes-Benz

I voted for Charles, Perez and Norris IMO Charles was easily the best driver this weekend. At one point he was nearly 5secs off Sainz but some how ended up 4th :? Perez also had a good weekend I think. Track position is everything here and he had one big mistake with the crash but otherwise he did b...

Mercedes-Benz

I knew RBR would be aggressive with the strategy and probably spilt strategy to break Ferrari 1-2 but they got even better result with both drivers this time.

Mercedes-Benz

I did not vote but it has to be Spain 2022. In Brazil he was overtaking cars as if they did not exist. RBR were complaining that Hamilton rear wing was not legal. He had massive car advantage there.

Mercedes-Benz

I think in Spain Ferrari was better. Qualifying they seems faster but also in race. Friday times does not necessarily mean much as most teams improve and Charles was also one of the last top runners to pit. So I think he had this covered.

Mercedes-Benz

I think Norris is better than Russell. IMO these 4 are already the best drivers in F1. Max is overall the best then Charles, Norris and Russell.

Mercedes-Benz

Very surprised Russell is getting votes. He bled over 30 seconds to Hamilton before their last stops and finished where he should have done given how the race transpired. I agree. He is getting lot of attention today and has had a positive year so far but today race performance he was imply slowing...

Mercedes-Benz

Surprisingly a good Spanish GP. This is the track that was going to good test car following each other. RBR still struggling a bit and understeer following Russell but still I think it is big improvement. Without DRS though I do not think there would be any overtaking. Still track design is importan...

Mercedes-Benz

Max, Hamilton and Alonso. I think Yuki also had good race. Alpine was pretty good in race.

Max in spite of getting stuck behind Russell still ended up 32secs in front. But I think Charles would have won the race without DNF. Mercedes had strong performance nevertheless with overheating issues.

Mercedes-Benz

I think Charles is the best. He is in great form ATM as well. Max is also very good but this year for some reason or other he has never been happy even once till now. I also think Bottas is pretty good and underrated qualifier.

Mercedes-Benz

Did Charles used the upgraded Ferrari engine in Miami ? Ferrari I think has advatnage in qualifying and in race they are not bad either but they are definitely loosing performance as the race goes on. I find it rather strange that RBR using less wings still happens to be good on tyres. Reducing some...

Mercedes-Benz

These 3 seeing something damn interesting.. https://i.imgur.com/BeR7chO.png Source - Imgur He has been the best driver this year so far but that was such a silly mistake, pretty lucky too that he could continue and end up P6. RBR seems to be faster here though and Hamilton getting lapped unbelievab...

Mercedes-Benz

I voted for Yuki, Vettel and Bottas. I missed voting for Russell lol. I do not think Mercedes is as bad as it looks. Hamilton has had a shocking weekend and in traffic. Russell is probably the luckiest driver in picking up points. When RBR has DNF or Ferrari drivers he is always there to pick other ...

Mercedes-Benz

Enjoyed the sprint race. I thought it was going to be a progression after the start. I think the DRS work better on these cars and since following is much easier it is worth watching. May be it has also given Ferrari to do some homework and analyze tyre degradation. May be they will be better on har...

Mercedes-Benz

I voted for Charles, Perez and Albon.

Perez for his two overtake on Mercedes but I do not think RBR is expecting to race Mercedes this year lol. Charles is already driving like a WC

Mercedes-Benz

What a domination. Looking good for Charles with Max 2 DNF out of 3 races. Max also seems very frustrated. I do not think he has looked good this year at all. Perez is very close to him this year so far. Charles said 5 wins can get him WC. He already has 2 wins and I think 3 fastest lap.

Mercedes-Benz

If Ferrari is 1sec per lap faster than Mercedes then RBR were also 0.7sec per lap slower than Ferrari. Very slow in the race for some reason.

Mercedes-Benz

Mclaren looked horrible in Bahrain but they seems to be making some improvement, Alpine as well are looking good. Some how Mercedes can't make any gains. I think Ferrari and RBR will get quicker with their upgrades in few races. So by next month they can't make gains. The difference could be 1sec pe...

Mercedes-Benz

It seems to be working. I think pretty my all drivers have also said it but overtaking is still not easy. The cars also look much better so overall it is good

Mercedes-Benz

I think in Suadi they both were on par with each other. Max was better in harder tyres than the mediums. I think Ferrari do look after tyres better. Sainz said in qualifying he was better in used soft and Max said he was also struggling. Not sure if others driver were doing same but he was taking 1 ...

Mercedes-Benz

Top4 drivers with in 10.8secs. They all were relatively close to each other which is good. Perez was very unlucky with the SC.I am pretty sure Charles would come to pits next lap. I thought Russell also did good but he was 32secs from Max so they are little more than 0.5secs per lap slower than top ...

Mercedes-Benz

I think he said that in context that they were using less wings and still Max was faster in corners ? It is a obvious thing though that cornering speed especially on street track requires more skills

Mercedes-Benz

Personally I love this track. Ocon nearly lost his car in the kerbs as well like Mick. It is going to exciting race. Amazing job by Perez and Charles. Max seems to be struggling with tyres but I think this car is really suiting Perez. He was getting beat by Gasly last year in qualifying and so far h...

Mercedes-Benz

Pretty sure RBR and AT engines are coming directly from Honda, they are just customers now instead of partners https://www.planetf1.com/news/red-bull-extend-honda-engine-deal/ I think RBR has hired some ex Honda and other engineers from other teams so they can troubleshoot, manage the engine. I am n...

Mercedes-Benz

Amazing performance from Charles. It could be his year. Max looked frustrated all race and double DNF for RBR at the end and Gasly as well, it seems engine shutdown suddenly

Mercedes-Benz

Charles, K Mag and Yuki.

Mercedes-Benz

Great start by Ferrari. It is really close between top 2 teams. I think Max seems little disappointed and Charles seems slightly surprised to beat him for pole in that interview. It is obvious Ferrari teams have got a boost this year. This is going to great year. Alpine livery is pretty much same as...

Mercedes-Benz

I really hope Ferrari are strong this year as everyone is saying. They are very confident on engine gains which according to them was 25bbp down previously. Charles said 5 wins can win you a title which is possible as this probably is going to be the best year in F1 with 3 teams competing for wins. ...
