If a driver can feel it and the sensors cannot, then it is because the car is not equipped with adequate instrumentation. A failure of the trackside engineering department. Every feeling from the driver seat can be measured by sensors if the car is equipped with the right ones. It's basic physics. If aero degrades or the balance shifts, then pressure sensors will change. If the mechanical platform deviates from the simulations, then it is measured by rotary encoders, potentiometers, strain gauges, and load cells that track the position and response of the suspension linkages.

Telling the world that the driver is the best sensor is not a bragging point.

What a move that was. Overtake of the season!

We actually chatted in the discord that up until about the VSC, there was only 2 overtakes in the top 6. And one of them was piastri on Norris at the start. The other being max on Lewis.

Overtake of the season? Wow, that's some claim - and somewhat sad if it proves to be true. Overtaking a bloke who is slower than you because he had to use up energy before the straight getting by a back marker whilst you had full power for more of the straight is basically a DRS overtake from a few years ago. The main thing on Sunday is that Max didn't lock up.

I would say that some of the moves we've seen with drivers going around the outside and keeping it on track are more impressive than the DRS-alike T1 overtake.

That was no deployment move, Hamilton got done in the braking zone from miles back, in a car with similar performance. I’ll take that over cruising around the outside of a car you are much faster than.

He was closing on Hamilton so obviously had more straight line performance. If he had the same deployment, he wouldn't have been close enough for a dive bomb (albeit a very successful dive bomb) attack. Ergo, a deployment overtake.

The human eyes are actually much more superior and advanced than any camera human have invented.
So its not exactly true that sensors are as superior as than human's natural ability.
