He is probably too scared to push the car to its limit this year.
Isn't this true for every year. He is nowhere near max who is operating close to the limit of the car. The difference being that in the earlier seasons, the car was not suited to him while theoretically, this season's car should be better suited to him. Yet he has looked more off the pace than ever this year
This is what heresy looks like to the Orks
People are commenting that the red bull is undriveable (is this the right word?) and that is why perez is struggling. But if you have been watching the sessions (practice, qualifying and races) this year, one can clearly see that Red bull has been suffering with massive understeer while their rear end has been pretty stable. This is different to 2022 and 2023 where Red bull had a sharper front end and the rear was looser so ideally this balance characteristic should suit perez and be the opposite of the balance that max prefers. Yet somehow max is the one who has been much much faster and other than a lack of skill, I can find no explanation for perez's struggles. I think he has lost his edge in the last few years and frankly should be replaced.
It seemed more like a friendly suggestion than any attempt at gatekeeping
Sorry to hijack the thread but are question style posts allowed in this community. Nothing in the community rules mention not allowing posts asking questions or asking for advice but from what I have seen, all the posts here are articles or studies relating to EV.
Track was resurfaced this year. Always messes up the strategy simulations.
I don't know man. A faster difficult to handle car seems better than a slower driveable one
What sort of battery life are you people seeing from Asahi Linux nowadays when compared to Mac OS? The GPU drivers have matured greatly over the last year so I expect battery life to have improved
Turn 1 was not a pen man. See the race starts in COTA for every year and there will be atleast one car being pushed wide in turn 1. Hell in 2015 and 2021, the driver in P2 pushed out the pole sitter at T1. In 2017 and 2018, Hamilton conceded the corner and didn't try to go side by side which is why he was not forced wide. The nature of the track coupled with cars being on cold tyres always leads to that.
Max could get a DNF
This argument never made sense to me because so could Lando. Like the two possibilities (Max having a DNF and Lando having a DNF) offset each other
Well I guess we can say goodbye to the title fight. Norris has to win every race and with how good Ferrari look, that seems unlikely. Even red bull have clawed back some of the advantage so it's difficult for Lando gain 11 points per event.
What are you then¿?
