Well there was a greater gap between them than .3 seconds that RB were faster in the pitstop
S'funny, but in the last few years, coming from that far back was classed as a dive bomb. This year it's a bona fide overtake move in that Red Bull.
Yes, dive bombing to clip the apex is normalised now.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑20 Mar 2022, 17:40S'funny, but in the last few years, coming from that far back was classed as a dive bomb. This year it's a bona fide overtake move in that Red Bull.
Can you take your negativity elsewhere? At least we are seeing good racing for once. Be a fan of the sport for once. Stewards I’m sure are well aware on what is bona Fide, and what isn’tJust_a_fan wrote: ↑20 Mar 2022, 17:40S'funny, but in the last few years, coming from that far back was classed as a dive bomb.

What was wrong it with the overtake?Mogster wrote: ↑20 Mar 2022, 17:41Yes, dive bombing to clip the apex is normalised now.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑20 Mar 2022, 17:40S'funny, but in the last few years, coming from that far back was classed as a dive bomb.

LEC was defending in a way that opened the same option for Max all 3 times and didn't give the other option, had LEC tried to cover the inside in T1 compromising his exit out of T1, then Max would have the 2nd overtake option open, but it didn't happen
Sorry, I wasn't being negative although reading it back it could be seen that way. I was amazed that it could be a proper attempt from that far back.101FlyingDutchman wrote: ↑20 Mar 2022, 17:42Can you take your negativity elsewhere? At least we are seeing good racing for once.

I meant it was amazing that it worked so well as last year coming from that far back would probably have been a bit touch-and-go.Mogster wrote: ↑20 Mar 2022, 17:41Yes, dive bombing to clip the apex is normalised now.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑20 Mar 2022, 17:40S'funny, but in the last few years, coming from that far back was classed as a dive bomb.

I think first 2 were thanks to using battery on the straight (and LEC saving his for retake), 3rd one was either without or he tried to not use it so he has it to defend, but didn't work out with this years cars being stiffer
