Once again, not everything is a conspiracyDarth-Piekus wrote: ↑20 Oct 2024, 01:30This is off topic but do you think Mercedes is sabotaging Hamilton? After his Spa win there are too many problems on his car and I find it hard to believe that Hamilton can't suddenly perform when there wasn't a single year where he could perform.
HAM is past his prime, No way Merc in their renaissance season to sabotage themselves, it makes no sense.
For one it’s not a McLaren question, and 2, why sabotage your own driver, they’re battling for money

If we can take the sprint as a indicator 0.1 per lap behind RBR and Ferrari, what I'm more worried about is tire degradation, it will be the decisive factor tomorrow.Darth-Piekus wrote: ↑20 Oct 2024, 01:34Anyway. Tomorrow we need a perfect start from Lando to cover up that first turn and from the clear air he will have a tyre advantage. How's the race pace?
There’s a table near the top of page 409 in the Red Bull thread.
Thanks!
NOR would have been on pole no matter what. Both VER and most certainly SAI were behind NOR's time.FittingMechanics wrote: ↑20 Oct 2024, 01:28Great stuff by Norris. It is always super important to nail the first lap, this type of things happen.
About the second run, it will be easier to see with telemetry but Norris didn't seem to be improving. Verstappen roughly matched his S1 from first run but looked to be better in S2, he probably would take it.
Sainz was also on a fast one - probably close to Norris first run.
Not true, max was 2 tenths up in sector one, then lost about 0.03 in sector 2dialtone wrote: ↑20 Oct 2024, 01:42NOR would have been on pole no matter what.

I'm not sure what data you have to say that, but Max lost 0.186s in S2 and was up 0.172.Joel709 wrote: ↑20 Oct 2024, 01:49Not true, max was 2 tenths up in sector one, then lost about 0.03 in sector 2dialtone wrote: ↑20 Oct 2024, 01:42NOR would have been on pole no matter what.

Max was about +0.014 after S2 and NOR S3 was a purple one 0.2s faster than any S3 from Max throughout the weekend.
