hope there is something to gain in S2, look at Gasly lol
they showed 'track dominance' graphic on Sky, comparing Lec and Ver. That whole final part of the lap was blue.
It's obvious. Look at the final corner, both the speed trace and the time delta.avantman wrote: ↑25 May 2024, 14:08they showed 'track dominance' graphic on Sky, comparing Lec and Ver. That whole final part of the lap was blue.

Yeah, Rascasse was good, it's not as bumpy. But the final corner just unsettles the car and the exit is shocking compared to Leclerc.Sergej wrote: ↑25 May 2024, 14:14I think Max was faster in Rascasse but Leclerc was in Antony Noghes (last corner)

anyway the time lost between Lowes and Portier is insane, almost 3 tenths only there
Pole is out of reach for Perez...but with Max anything is possible Juzh
just shows how difficult the car is. you should applaud max, rather than bashing perez.
Sim racing isn't relevant. It's not real, no risk, no actual physical limitations, etc..Seanspeed wrote: ↑25 May 2024, 12:47Max had just one full year in cars before he joined F1 at 17 years old. Not that he wasn't already very competitive from Day 1, but it shouldn't be surprising it took him a couple more years to really settle in and get into his prime. I think it's a mistake to assume that his current form is only because the car 'suits him to a tee'.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑25 May 2024, 12:31So far, Max's career has mirrored Seb's. Bright early start then crushing performances in a car that suits him to a tee. What happens next? He might end up in the equivalent of the W13 and then look average.ME4ME wrote: ↑25 May 2024, 11:33
Tiresome to read these kind of comments. Best car doesn't automatically translate to the record breaking and matching results that Verstappen has achieved. He is probably the single most consistent driver ever. Certainly among the absolute top 3. And Senna might've had a world champion team mate, but so what? Leclerc wiped the floor with Vettel 4xWC in the end. Verstappen would've crushed several world champion drivers if they had been in Perez's seat.
Fair enough to still rate Senna or Schumacher or Hamilton etc as the best. Thats up to each and every person to judge.
But its cheap to imply that these records are to be expected just from having a good car alone. Hamilton had a good car. He broke other records, but not these. He is recognizing Verstappens achievements. Bitter rivals yet he's expressed respect for the achievements, as has Verstappen.
Max is a great driver - one of the greats in the sport. But no one should view any driver through rose-tinted glasses with blinkers fitted too.
Max is also an elite tier sim racer in GT cars remember, which is an extremely competitive field. It's my impression that Max will be absolutely top tier in F1 up to the point that he loses motivation(and he may retire before it gets to that). He's an absolute machine, not just a driver being flattered by favorable car characteristics.
Why so cruel? Want to see another young talented driver with ruined career? and this would happen if he joins Max.
