This forum contains threads to discuss teams themselves. Anything not technical about the cars, including restructuring, performances etc belongs here.
I don't think he even gets a shot, let alone a good one. Max has tremendous pace.
Lando needs to try and hold on to 3rd otherwise that will make Abu Dhabi really uncomfortable for him. With this pace at the moment, he will come out behind Carlos when he pits so he has to get P3 on track.
I still dont understand why they didnt pit, Lap 7 was perfect because 7+25+25 is the race distance, surely they ran hundreds of simulations back at base to know if the SC comes out on Lap 7 you pit.
What a disaster for Norris. I don't think he can make the podium to be honest. Seems like he has to win Abu Dhabi to get the championship now. Between the DSQ in Vegas and the strategy disaster-class here, they've lost him 35 points lol.
Norris could have gone to the lap 50, kept Verstappen slowed down and then bolt on softs. This would be good for Norris and for the team. If there is a red flag or safety car he gains, if there is not then he slows down Verstappen which helps Piastri (and Norris).
This would be much better for the team than this bullshit. I just can't believe how bad the choices they made today. Everything that could be done wrong was done.
