Let’s hope the team can wake up and regroup for Mexico! We used the only joker we had and Ferrari is getting very close in the Constructor Championship for second place
: "I think probably the more realistic thing for assessing the competitiveness is at that track(COTA) with the surface overheating that comes on the tyres at that track you sort of go at the pace of the person in front of you"
Toto : "If George had been in front after the start, he would have won the race. The six drivers at the front all had almost the same pace."He should try lying better lmfao. Russell couldn't get a Piastri who was miles off Norris but sure everyone had equal pace.SB15 wrote: ↑22 Oct 2025, 16:59

"If you closed the gap to less than two seconds, the cars would just start sliding, and the tyre temperature would rise."
- The fact that Russell finished 33 seconds behind race winner Max Verstappen gives a misleading impression. Verstappen was able to run his own pace in clean air without overworking his tyres, while everyone else was stuck in turbulence.

He's talking about the tyre temps which in all accounts, a lot of drivers were struggling with the same issue this race including the leader. I guess the main reason why the Leclerc was so competitive was because of staying in front of Lando for most of the time and Max driving off. Max wasn't all that affected because of the massive benefit of clean air. Shows a fatal flaw in these regs.venkyhere wrote: ↑22 Oct 2025, 19:25Russel, Allison, Toto...
What are they trying to say ? That overtaking is not possible in COTA ? That they need a >1s delta in race pace to mount a DRS attack from T11 into T12 ?
What is all this moaning about not getting a leapfrog in places at turn 1, because Norris kept the inside line and didn't wash to the outside ?
Do they think we don't know that cars run a lower ride height in the sprint w.r.t the ride height for the race ?
Where were these complaints about 'it's all a qualifying contest' , 'tyres don't deg enough' , 'its always a one stop race' etc etc when Russel qualified P1 and won lights to flag in Canada and Singapore ?
All teams face the same conditions. Get on with it, stop crying sour grapes.
He actually has a point, you can't push if the tyres won't let you. That's the most frustrating thing a driver can have, and honestly I think a lot of teams and drivers would've been extremely happy if the C2 was an option as the Medium and the C3 as the Soft.f1isgood wrote: ↑22 Oct 2025, 18:58He should try lying better lmfao.
