New pants required for Max

 

[Kenai]

What? Since 2021?

He's not been 2s per lap slower in every race since 2021, no

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Good catch by Verstappen, that's Perez in the wall if the same happens to him.

 

[Flibster]

Sainz time 2:00.162 deleted - track limits turn 11 lap 21

 

[englishpremier]

Softs working well. Noris some 3-4 seconds faster than some on who are on used mediums.

 

[jonneymendoza]

He's not been 2s per lap slower in every race since 2021, no

Not every race but many of them he has

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

That was pretty nice from Norris

 

[Scam]

I thought they were just saying the rain has gone away yet it's chucking it down in the pitlane?

 

[Kenai]

Not every race but many of them he has

Ok

 

[UTmaniac]

Surprised Russell didn't fit inters.

 

[el_dazza]

Norris has turned on the afterburners suddenly

VS botas who's got loads more wins in a championship car...

Goes to show Hamilton has had a harder team mate throughout his career vs max.

Rosberg won 20 races (and a championship) over his final 3 years.

I dont think Bottas won too many races to be fair.

edit:

10 race wins over 5 years, although the last year wasnt a championship winning car, so 9 in 4.

 

[GhostWKD]

Stroll going for another dry tyre just as rain starts?? Hmmm

Tbf in theory fresh warm softs be best tyres to be on in rain that wouldn't be enough for inters

 

[Flibster]

Stroll pit radio - So Eau Rouge is a bit wet for Fernando. Russell has just fitted slicks. Russell exiting the pit on slicks. This is not going to last long Lance, it's about surviving.

 

[Flibster]

Verstappen pit radio - So settle into standard race management now Max.

 

[Flibster]

And Sainz retires.

 

[englishpremier]

The undercut for those stopping for softs is going to be huge.

10 races botas won

10 races botas won

Pretty poor over 5 years. Hamilton had 50 wins over the same period.

I'd say the mismatch is roughly as bad as Max and Sergio.

 

[Flibster]

Perez pit radio - So no threats behind you. Exaggerate the management. Exaggerate the tyre management.
