Surely seems there’s a good chunk of performance in that, looking at the speeds in sector 2

My thoughts exactly. There will be no engine equality. And in the 2022 regulations there is much less room to compensate for it aerodynamically. This means that Mercedes dominance is ensured for the next few years at least.

Lawrence star indeed. Quote from the wikipedia article mentioned by @g-funk

The Verge published a follow-up investigation of Cognizant’s Tampa, Florida, office in June 2019.[137][138] … In the Tampa office, […]

Good overview, thanks for adding some context to the discussion. They’re very similar in their on-track conduct, but Max has received a lot more criticisim because of his hard-headedness. Charles is perceived as a […]

Yes, he’s driving very opportunistic and it stays a bit under the radar. Not that dissimilar to Max’ first few years at RB.

@gufdamm Agreed. Hamilton managed to stay close in the high speed last sector for many laps. He had a large pace advantage.

@tifoso1989 that’s some good info and analysis, interesting, thanks!

Did all three teams lose the time on the straights? Last year Alfa Romeo and Haas were slow already, and was clearly attributed to poor aerodynamics, not the PU. As mentioned, Ferrari knows they have massive drag […]

They didn’t laser-scan tracks, up to this year. The new Zandvoort track is based on a laser scan and they used lidar data as well (Jimmy Broadbent mentioned this on his initial review).

It looks like they h […]

@keithcollantine I really enjoy this feature, especially because you’ve added a lot of context in the article which made me really want to watch it (and I did). This deserves more exposure somehow! Maybe a d […]

@kalie good point. Many ‘rookies’ race against more experienced, solid drivers.

I’d say Vettel vs Leclerc could be close as well if Ferrari delivers a car that suits Vette.

@peartree And the picture to go with that (reverse caption competition).

@passingisoverrated

Fully agree. Apparently it’s all fair game. The old-timers surely have developed some dirty racing tactics which help them to muscle their way through the field, and surprise the rookies. […]

It is unfortunate that Racefans chooses not to link or embed the actual video. I’d like to know the reasoning behind this.

For convenience, here is the link to Binotto’s q&a video, published today: htt […]

So have you been watching F1 at all last year?

Any guess?

Yes, it was Giovinazzi.

Note: Hamilton on medium tyres.

@jeffreyj he wasn’t in the same car though. Max had a new front wing (and subsequent changes to optimise airflow) on his care which seemed to make a substantial difference in grip. Gasly didn’t have those.

@gechidan Good observation. I was expecting some Renaults to pop after their early season unreliability (and focus on pure performance), but even they managed it very well here. Can’t believe that Mercedes was the […]

It was indeed. Last year, Bottas performed similarly well in the first part of the season, only the points didn’t reflect it. Then, Hamilton got the better of him. I think the whole 2.0 thing is just to have a n […]
