I would like to see if thats the case on other tracks. Not sure if this track is favouring them in that aspect.

To be fair, it was not as bad here, as it was in Bahrain during pre season testing, so I think you are right, this track favours Mercs.
 
Perfect day for Verstappen and RBR and a perfect day for the Championship. Wouldn’t mind a few more retirements for Charles and Max to allow the Mercs to close and make it a three way battle.
 
"Great teammate", that's gonna burn.

"Great No 2 Driver".

Should just stick to the different strategy angle.

Look at what he had to do least season, what is the point in bring a racing driver if you aren't allowed to win as an individual.

Bottas and Hamilton competed many times. I think the one time that was unfair was when Bottas made it clear by only letting Hamilton past in the last lap.

I do hope they have permanently fixed it but it wouldn't be surprising if the problem recurs with their future upgrades (as upgrades might have been designed with the original design as the baseline - my assumption could be wrong).
 
Better viewing than the Miami fiasco, at least I didn't fall asleep this time.

Good to see George on the podium.

And yeh, Max is such a spoilt child, when is he going to grow up.

No it doesn't work like that.

Yes sometimes designs are started early, and when some other parts come on stream, and work really well, other parts are either dumped if it is obvious they will not work well with existing parts, or redesigned to work with existing parts.

So future upgrades extremely rarely prove to be a backward step due to incompatibility with previous upgrades.

Main thing is, I would be massively surprised if these upgrades, prove to have completely eliminated porpoiseing on all tracks.

Not that we will tell for a while, as next race is Monaco, so no one will have porpoiseing as they will not be going fast enough.

Larger bumps as gound there in the track will be more worrisome for the underfloor and ground effect.
 
Russell pit radio - And that's P3. You fought like a lion. Top drive today.

Russell - Great job guys. I drove my heart out there.

Pit - Strat 1

Russell - Sorry we didn't have the pace. I gave everything.

Toto - George. Well done. Amazing driving and defending.

Russell - Thanks Toto. Good team effort. Great work over these past couple of weeks. Let's keep going.

James - Just adding to it George. Really, really solid drive today. Really solid defending. Great work.

Yeh usual biases coming out.
At the end of the day Perez can't really talk, hes rarely outqualified Max, and certainly way off pace for most races. He might he been quick today but he knows deep down he's just not as good.

He will still be signing that contract in the summer regardless...unless he wants to move to a team that won't offer him any podiums.
