Yep.
What are you babbling about? No one even tried the new Abu Dhabi circuit in real life, so i'll say it on pure layman terms so even some of the visitors can understand: Mercedes is monumental on straights, the team has been untouchable in this era regarding them (we know the data) and since Brazil, curves aren't RBR's advantage anymore. At least, not enough to bother the Mercs.godlameroso wrote: ↑06 Dec 2021, 01:12Incredible, you glean all of this from looking at a badly drawn track map, well never mind my 300 laps around in the simulator, just looking at a track map and you just know this is Interlagos 4x. Surely that badly drawn track map shows the cambers on the road, and you can just tell the apex speedSwifty wrote: ↑05 Dec 2021, 23:11Sorry, man. I mean no harm, but... your predictions were kinda loosely this season...godlameroso wrote: ↑05 Dec 2021, 22:44It's not over yet. I still think Verstappen can edge out Hamilton in Abu Dhabi. The hard tire is this round's medium tire, and they're only good for ~100km.
Look at Abu Dhabi:

No way Ham is not taking the W. Think Brazil 4x.
Max went on to the Medium to try and get a jump on Hamilton on the last restart and it worked. They knew full well the trade off and were hoping that Max could take the Mediums to the end of the race. I guess they presumed that if they would have started that last restart on Hards, they would have ended up behind Hamilton and never caught him.Bill wrote: ↑06 Dec 2021, 09:38the pu differential is exagrated Max was on course for pole and his prac times on hard was very competitive the only conclution is that the pu are matched it shows in data .with strategy Rbr choose it was certain they will fail with a difference tack they can push Ham hard perhaps make mistake many possibilities.i dont make sence to gamble when you have pace take the fight to your opponent .Gambling is for midfield team like alpha
Verstappen was faster in S1 for most of the weekend, not just the race itself. Hard tyre wasn't anything to scoff at in terms of performance. I don't think medium held any meaningful advantage after a few laps.NathanOlder wrote: ↑06 Dec 2021, 20:44Not sure where to put this, but I guess in here is as good a place than any.
After the race Horner spoke to Sky and was praising Max saying "Sector 1 is all about the driver and Sector 2 & 3 is all about the power unit." sector 1, thats the sector Max was putting a gap to Lewis for most of the race.
Did Horner forget for most of that Max was ona better tyre than Lewis, and Lewis was in Max's turbulent air. Does he not think fans can see this.

Earlier in the season when Hamilton was under real pressure of not having by far the best performing car and worse season prospects he was falling off the track every second race. If it were not for Bottas playing bowling in Hungary then Hamilton's title chances would be much, much further away than what they are now. It's easy to play strategic mind games on track if you're in an inherently faster car that's also sh1tloads faster on straights, thus making it dead easy to put constant pressure on the guy in front.
In baku lewis decellerated quite abruptly. Max did brake, yes, quite softly in order to let lewis pass.NathanOlder wrote: ↑06 Dec 2021, 01:45in Baku didn't the telemetry say Lewis didn't brake. In Saudi the telemetry showed Max DID. you feeling alright tonight?godlameroso wrote: ↑06 Dec 2021, 01:23Baku 2017 Vettel got a 10 second stop and go penalty for running into the back of Hamilton's car, where was Hamilton's 10 second stop and go penalty for running into Verstappen? In Baku Vettel claimed Hamilton brake checked him just like here. What a yoke!
also Vet didn't get a penalty for running in to the back of Ham. he got it for pulling alongside and swiping at him. all under a SC .
69 bar of brake pressure, and 2.4G of deceleration is not braking "softly"!Pany wrote: ↑06 Dec 2021, 21:42In baku lewis decellerated quite abruptly.
