The numbers from mr Sokolov...
Mercedes struggled with balance in FP2. Curious to see how much more they’ve got to turn things around.
I’m sure qualy and race will be closer than RB would like…PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑06 Nov 2021, 02:01Perez's race pace was close if not equal. So team orders still on the cards.
ON the Mercedes side of the garage, Bottas seems quicker. Hamilton is trying to squeeze more out of the set up though. Could be serious gains yet.
Same here, I want it to be close between the two. But I think Max just needs to drive like he's done throughout the season and it's going to be a nice championship win in Abu Dhabi. Probably a situation where if Max finishes anything above 7th or something and it doesn't matter what Lewis will do. Anyway, back to being on the current race xD
Exactly. It’s swung back and forth a little between the two teams over the course of the season, but I think Mercedes really reached the end of their development tree with what they did in Silverstone which put them ahead for a few races, but Red Bull have them covered now unless something extraordinary happens.InsaneX_Badger wrote: ↑06 Nov 2021, 14:54Same here, I want it to be close between the two.

To base any conclusions on this for the race seems odd.dans79 wrote: ↑06 Nov 2021, 01:36Maxlap 9 out lap 10 1:17.301 11 1:54.166 12 1:43.455 13 1:17.619 14 in lap
