“ Bottas has outqualified Perez 10-3 this season and outraced him 8-2.

Mercedes is easily as good as Red Bull, Verstappen is just better than Hamilton.”

The hypothesis that Max is the superior driver is clo […]

Bookies don’t agree with you but I see that too.
Merc car so comfortable on mediums , particularly as car becomes lighter.
We didn’t see full potential. Russia and Monza are Merc tracks.

And then the eng […]

A few boos from the Dutch fans sadly, but British fans are still the better boo-ers.

Perez is a seasoned driver like Bottas.

We can conclude Merc is the superior car but Max extracts 0.3s where no one else can.

Perez should already have been 0.3s quicker on his first run. Now he is eliminated by just 0.04s.

Perez’ pace is worrying.

The hypothesis that RB is the quickest car this season has been long rejected. A seasoned driver like Perez would qualify higher than his average position of 6th on the grid in the quickest car.

Max again talking sensibly and in a non-nonsense way.

We must admire drivers like him and Kimi who are not saying socially desirable things every 2 weeks (“you are the best crowd ever”, “this is my most favor […]

Heavy rains between 17:40 and 18:00 local time. After 18:15 dry

Verstappen drives at the very edge of what the car is capable of.

It is the risk he needs to take to stay in touch with the Mercs.

Gasly, Albon and Perez cannot match Verstappen in that. I really wonder if […]

Merc has been quickest car on average this season.

Starting on the backfoot in Bahrain it has been on and off with RB, but Merc is clearly ahead since their Silverstone updates.
RB’s strength was generally i […]

No one is saying Merc had the best car. I am saying that it was on&off.
There is no objective measure to conclude that Merc or RB was the best car on average in H1. So any narrative stating that is […]

It’s a crazy and false narrative that RB has the superior car this year.

Only in preseason testing, the Merc was behind which was largely repaired by the opening race. From race2 onwards it has been equal. G […]

Nonsense that Verstappen had the best car for this season.
Merc started on the backfoot in Bahrain only but was back in it in the next races:
– RB initially slightly better in quali mode (only in the hands of […]

This 41y old kimi is no benchmark.
He would be smashed by the likes of Perez and Bottas in the same car.

We can conclude the Alfa is a better car than we think and Gio is lucky to have spent a few seasons in […]

Perez so far away from Bottas.
Merc has its act back together and is nr1 car .

Lol. If it was the other way around, I wonder how the UK public would have fumed.
Or had they cheered for Max and say ‘racing incident’ ? Don’t be a hypocrite

“as Verstappen crashes heavily in collision with Hamilton”

Will Wood missed a chance for a more descriptive and objective heading. eg “Hamilton caused a collision that ended Verstappen’s race in a heavy crash.”

Indeed the likely scenario.
Merc has superior pace this weekend.

Look at Lewis’ tire degradation; less than Max while Lewis was in dirty air throughout the sprintrace.

The thing is: Lewis is still in a much better place now, than the non-mercs in the last seasons.

He whines that his glass is 1/8th empty (still 7/8 full), while in previous seasons the glass of the non-mercs was 1/2 empty.
