Danny quite simply needed to “turn it around” before he lost the McLaren drive. “The car being difficult to drive” or “the car not suiting his driving style” are not valid excuses. The best drivers in the world adapt, re learn. Dani ric had his chance and he blew it when he left the one team that suited his mentality of driving. It appears he convinced himself that the car must suit him. Rather than driver suit car. Even post quali interview the way he talks he blames the car without blaming the car “the car is improving we’ve brought a few adjustments but they just weren’t…” and stops himself. He mentally blames the car and setup for his lack of feel and confidence more often than not and that’s why he will never dig himself out of the hole he created when he left Red Bull.

Question. Is a driver like Max, who feels every little thing wrong with the car, get the best out of Adrian Newey who looks for looks for perfection?

@theGoogol

2 ай бұрын

I think it's the other way around. Max allows Newey to design a fast-as-possible car because Max can drive it. In the past, Newey was limited by driver preference but now he can design a car that is so ridiculously sharp to drive (which is the fastest configuration). All Max's feedback can do each weekend is give feedback about setup, something Newey has no influence over but is on the race engineers to figure out and adjust.

@stz024

2 ай бұрын

@theGoogol that's sort of what i mean, Newey knows Max is going to feel those little things that get in the way of unlocking the full performance. So he designs a car jnowing Max can drive it. Obviously, it goes both ways, and i think they feed into each other. When i think back to blown diffuser days, i think Adrian designed a car with a super strong back end because that's what Seb needed to be at his best. It would be interesting to hear what driving style Newey would favour designing a car for, if it even matters to him at all.

Watching the on board of the Pole Lap is exceptional. The speed and smoothness through T6 was SENSATIONAL. The TV commentary team on Sky needs to get better at talking about the driving. They should be getting more excited about seeing this sort of lap, and that would in turn get more viewers to appreciate it in my opinion.

I was surprised with Max's pole and Hamilton not getting into Q3. I'm a fan of F1 first and Max second. So, if Hamilton wins after a good race with good strategy, I'm cheering for him, too. But it's kind of special what Max does. It's almost as if he integrated the "fearless" part of simracing into his car. I think at some point, years ago, he said that sim racers don't know how it feels to drive the actual car, because they don't have to fear injury or death. But when you look at some of his pole laps, it almost seems like he uses that same mentality. Of course, when there's a huge crash, he'll definitely feel it. It's just that. I don't see that fearlessness in other drivers, even though they are huge risk takers. Don't get me wrong there.

Carlos improved since Binnoto time when Carlost's engineer learned the performance telemetry graphs of Charles Leclerc and got Carlost learning from that to try immetating Charles driving style.

There was a point on Saturday when max went out and put in 3 yellow sectors, and at this point the commentators were already dismissing the lap (after the first 2 were yellow), but the final lap time was actually max’s fastest yet (& the commentators had already moved on). I thought that was a really good example of how Max does his thing - letting up in areas where he could go faster, but doing so would hurt the lap as a whole.

Carlos found the limit of the car as his Q2 and Q3 tines were almost identical.

Peter-Always appreciate the detailed comments and great to hear you giving Yuki props, he has been getting better and better each race-Yes I am a fan boy lol an american born in Japan. My two cents? This will be DR's last race in F1, Marko has seen enough of the grossly overpaid and under performing DR and finally Marko is praising Yuki.

Carlos is the ideal teammate for Verstappen, from a Red Bull perspective. He's not quite as good/fast as Verstappen or Leclerc ability-wise, but he is as consistent as Verstappen is (where Leclerc is very inconsistent and prone to error). Sainz would push Verstappen all the way and be there to capitalise on any mistake, and would win some races and provide a challenge (which Max has said he wants), but would ultimately end up finishing behind over the course of the season. A Verstappen/Sainz partnership next season would not only be a very strong pairing from a Red Bull perspective, but would bring more excitement at the front of the grid which Perez can't provide, as he's neither quick nor consistent enough.

Peter can you tell me what the differance between a T-car like they used to have and a chassis?

Leclerc declared in his interview that he put on too much wing in Q3 which caused the oversteer. And Williams didn't have a spare chassis because they've been implementing an ERP system to oversee all their resources and planning. It's something other teams have had for years now. However implementing it is widely regarded as undergoing open heart surgery while running a marathon. You're basically turning your whole organization upside down (who were before that using Excel to keep track of thousands of parts) and the cost of that is that key spare parts weren't ready for the season.

The point is also Lewis is a driver who has a small motivational bandwidth in which he operates superbly, if he doesn’t feel right it will show on the track. If he is slower than Charles he will just collapse. If he is quicker than Charles you just destroyed a 27-year olds career in favor of a guy past his prime who will retire in a couple of years.

It’s scary to think that Max might be about to perform at an even higher level then last year. His confidence must be through the roof compared to other drivers right now. I’d imagine it’s abit of a psychological advantage over other drivers.

Based on what i heard from James they did have a mad scramble to get the cars/chassis built at Williams. Not sure if they pointed to a specific reason or if they were just placing the blame on the larger infrastructural issue.

I think Andretti has spare chassis.

Could Red Bull be given the championships now and asked not to turn up again this year so the fans can have a more interesting year to watch? I've watched F1 for 40 odd years and never been so racked off with it. Well done Ross Braun for these regs. Roll on 2026.

Maybe the reason George is quicker in quali is the same reason he's always 2-3 tenths behind in race pace? Setup, driving style?

One you've driven this circut quite a bit, it does have some real character. I'd say if there's one thing this circuit demands, it's stability on quick series of direction changes. Parts of the track like turn 3-4-5, especially the 11-12 complex, and then 14-15-16. They are pretty technical sections with quick direction changes that require serious commitment and little margin for error. Things like getting on the power perfectly coming out of 4 and through five, the braking for 11 and exit of 12 is such a tricky section. Especially since your exiting on the curb and the rear really wants to step out on you. It's so easy to get wrong if you are really trying to get every last tenth through their and don't brake way too much on the way into 11 to play it safe. Max's skill on the brakes was probably a big factor in how he was able to pull out that extra time over Perez. He's able to get the car perfectly set up going into and out of those technical sections that have a series of quick multi-corner direction changes. If you watch the Mercedes its clear that they are still struggling with the rear through these sections. Lewis probably still lacks the confidence with the rear to fully commit in those corner complexes, while of course George is all about taking that risk and committing ever when he isnt 100% confident with the rear. Thats what I think made the difference between George and Lewis in Quali.

Mercedes were smart to cut Hamilton loose , the numbers don’t lie and he’s past it .

The Red Bull team is just too good. Everything seems to work all the time, and if it's off they know exactly how to fix it. No other team seems to have this ability. I'm not a big Redbull fan but hats off.

@Denuitvreter Lewis beat his teammate to the championship all but 1 time. Where he was just unlucky when his engine blew in Malaysia. Also Lewis was unbeatable in qualifying in his prime. I’d even argue that’s something prime Lewis exceeds Max That said no one is as consistent and confident as Max. Max is a machine that just glosses over any amount of pressure. That combined with blistering race pace makes him nearly unbeatable over an season when given an championship winning car.

I have so much respect for Carlos. Always have since realizing he had his own strategies mid-race. While the actual engineer was crap

Let’s show Perez some love. Please.

GR would have been on poll last year. Merc have essentially brought a 2023 car which makes sense as they’ve change their concept.

It makes a lot of sense now why Perez was consistently faster in sector 2 but fell off in 3.

Very interesting to see what’s going to happen at Ferrari if Sainz appears to be the actual the nr1 driver at the end of the season… will it be ‘sportsmanship or politics’ at Ferrari.

Contracts have been signed and Carlos knows his value at Ferrari - after all, they had no problem replacing him at the end of the season. Unless they are going to sabotage him in favor of Charles, he will drive at his peak. He is racing for himself and a good spot in another team next season. I just hope he manages to drive the whole race without too much physical discomfort, that will certainly influence his race pace.

It’s Ferrari. Surely that’s a rhetorical question? Politics as usual.

At this pace Merc is gonna even have a hard time getting Logan in it

With regard to the current brake problems, each team develops their own calipers in conjunction with Brembo…except for maybe HAAS. Max will be licking his chops at starting on those soft sorts while even Sainz will be praying for an early pitstop.

Verstappen gifted with an instinctive competitive intelligence, truly amazing ! Like a young Jimmy Clarke , and I might add the best driver since .

Carlos is driving for Carlos instead of Ferrari. Also agree with Logan driving his own car. Alex crashed and he should sit this one out. I don't agree with the teams decision.

F1 is not about pleasing people, it's about money. Williams does not that much to have a spare chassis, so they use the driver who brings in the most points (=money). And Logan maybe a F1 driver, but he is not bringing in the money. More the opposite, when you look at his crashes.

It's gradually becoming more and more difficult for Peter to defend Lewis. He's an average driver in the field and certainly not better than Russel.

He’s certainly not as good when the car is tricky to drive and when he is chasing performance but once they sort their issues he will be back ahead (see mid 22 onwards). See where they end up at the end of the year…
