Bottas wasn't on it all weekend. Zhou was only a place behind him in FP1 and FP2 (understandably for a rookie), then outqualified him by a sizeable 0.7 seconds in Q2. Passed him in the race too, before his PU did what Ferrari's did this weekend.
This is usually a good track for Bottas too.
True, but it's a heck of a lot better on relying pumping oil out of the ground, especially with the ever-increasing prices. Clearly the ideal alternative (hydrogen) isn't ready for mainstream yet, so unless it is viable, we're better off improving biofuels.
That's not going to happen anytime soon. You might find Indycar or F2 more to your liking.
While hybrids (in terms of harvesting energy) I can't ever see being of benefit to your average family car, F1 manufacturers do have road cars with some of the technology. Indeed six of the teams have...
DAS was banned from these cars before Mercedes even went to the FIA for clarification. They chose to introduce it in 2020 as that was the last time it was expected to be allowed for use (the new gen hadn't been delayed until 2022 when they were designing the W11), so unlikely to be copied.
No...
:confused:
Baku has been one of the best tracks for action and excitement since it joined the calendar.
People are already forgetting the first few races this season, where the action at the front was brilliant. Sure the last two races haven't been all time classics, but they were Monaco and...
Whether they're excuses or not, it will only tell when Mercedes are fighting at the front again, when it matters, as they inevitably will be at some point. That won't be this season in terms of fighting for the driver's championship (which it's fair to say has gone now, barring one of the the...
A bit different in that that's not a direct safety issue. They should have just told the teams above the limit to do one. It is a minimum weight limit after all, not an obligation.
He been better than Verstappen in the last two races too. Stayed on the black stuff in Barcelona and was quicker all weekend in Monaco.
It might be the same this weekend but we've not had a meaningful session yet to be fair. Remember what should have been Verstappen's quickest lap was spoiled...
Got extremely lucky with a two, my first for eons. It could have been any number of words and expected a few failures or sixes, but for some reason that popped into my head first and I took a lucky punt.
:mad::mad::mad::D:D
:D:D:D:D:D
That's why it's brilliant (for Formula E anyway - not sure it would be in other series). It's mandatory so all the drivers have to use it and whether you take advantage of it or lose out is all on the driver.
I certainly wouldn't call it any more dangerous than the likes of DRS. I mean, they're...
Keep it as is, or as a timed race at any rate. Half the excitement comes from teams mismanaging energy or not always being surehow many laps there will be.
If you give them X number of laps then things like safety car finishes will be more likely, and teams will be able to calculate exactly how...
It always used to be touching the line in F1 too. I called a penalty for Verstappen straight away as I wasn't aware it had changed.
I guess it's to bring it in line with the track limits (all of the wheel over all of the line).
All FIA-sanctioned events follow the same sporting code as F1, so...
It would depend on the situation I guess, in the unlikely event you'd have a three way shootout for the title*. If for example Perez was doing is tyre whisperer thing and found himself leading, while on fresher tyres Verstappen was quickly coming up with Leclerc on his tail, then it would be...
Nonsense! :D But they have to be done right. Boiled is no go, unless in a risotto (where you'd brown them before you start adding liquids anyway). Best fried. Grill or BBQ is fine. Oven is passable. Never, ever wash them first (scrape them off with a brush or kitchen roll).
A perfect...
Even funnier if he loses it to Perez. :D
By my reckoning, Perez would only be one point behind Verstappen and second in the championship had they not swapped position in Barcelona (albeit Verstappen having retired from second in Melbourne). Verstappen would have been on 118, Perez on 117 and...
I don't know about lucky. He's certainly making the most of it at the moment though. While they might have had an element of luck and strategy in getting to the front in Monaco, he had the beating of Max all weekend. If Red Bull hadn't done the swap in Barcelona then Perez would have been just...
