Pretty sure that was meant to say "he needs to be much smarter about it".
Why not check and report back, contribute a little. This way you'd be sure instead of just guessing and saying you were sure.
Ok clever clogs, Alonso set the fastest lap after a late pit stop.
So Vettel sucks even more how is that helping Kimi not suck?foxmulder_ms wrote: ↑18 Jul 2017, 18:51That sucker is faster than magnificent Vettel since Monaco.
Also the swap was a sure thing between Kimi and Vettel. If there is one thing Ferrari is known for that is their #1 driver fetish.
Hamilton could have fought for the victory if the Mclaren would have had a better reliabilty. Alonso was in the fight thanks to the great advantage he took in the first half.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑18 Jul 2017, 20:07I still don't believe Vettel had direct competitors. Lewis and Alonso were wholely relying on poor days from RedBull. I remember as a Lewis McLaren fan I wasn't even hoping for the drivers title since Singapore. I knew it was Vettel's and I wanted Alonso to spoil the party any way he could.dans79 wrote: ↑18 Jul 2017, 00:35I have to disagree with that. In 2012 he and Lewis had very equal cars, Lewis only faded do to reliability issues. If memory served he dnf'd from two races while leading do to transmission issues.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑18 Jul 2017, 00:15I think Vettel is not used to having a direct competitor in equal or faster car fighting for the championship. So it is new territory for him.
Try:
I think that it's worth remembering that if you had put Bottas' relative position next to Kimi's then you would've seen Kimi extending his lead through the lap and we would be talking about where the Ferrari is faster.Moose wrote: ↑18 Jul 2017, 15:02That really backs up my assertion that the Mercedes is great in the downforce sections.F1NAC wrote: ↑18 Jul 2017, 12:13Total domination by Hamilton

Slow speed entry + copse better for Ferrari, but Mercedes so much better on acceleration, after that engines seems equal. (dont know DF levels of Mercedes, by M-B-C it seems they carried more DF). huh a lot of work to do for Ferrari
Hamilton gains 0.15 seconds through Maggots and Beckets, and then continues to gain all down the following straight, due to a higher apex and exit speed.
Almost all of the time he gained in sector 2 and half the time he gained in sector 3 was due to being faster in Maggots and Beckets.
Not at all - all the time that the Ferrari gains is in traction out of lower speed corners, not in the high speed aero.So you agree there is no "high speed corner" issue for Ferrari ?
I agree with most of this except Mercedes struggling on the US. In recent races they have done fine on them with at least one car, so any difference should be down to set up rather than inherent in the car.bonjon1979 wrote: ↑19 Jul 2017, 11:24I think that it's worth remembering that if you had put Bottas' relative position next to Kimi's then you would've seen Kimi extending his lead through the lap and we would be talking about where the Ferrari is faster.Moose wrote: ↑18 Jul 2017, 15:02That really backs up my assertion that the Mercedes is great in the downforce sections.F1NAC wrote: ↑18 Jul 2017, 12:13Total domination by Hamilton

I've read a lot of clap-trap about the season being over and Ferrari being miles behind Merc but I honestly don't buy it. They might normally be around 3 tenths ahead in qualifying but maybe not even that. Hamilton pulled out a stunning lap over one of the longest tracks on the calendar where any difference in pace is going to be exaggerated. Bottas was 7 tenths behind hamilton and the two Ferrari's ahead of him. They'll be a lot closer in hungary for sure.
In the race, Vettel has regularly beaten Kimi this year by 10+ seconds so we have to see the gap to hamilton (before the tyre blow out) in this context. I also think that Kimi had to nurse his tyres through the race. A one stop was marginal so he would've had to be cautious. He would also have suffered more in the dirty air of hamilton in that first stint.
Then there's the tyres. Merc have struggled most when US tyres have been used. When they come back into the mix I expect Ferrari to be closer. The next track is shorter and the temperature much hotter so I expect Ferrari to be closer to merc. We should not ignore the driver in all this though - whatever peoples thoughts on hamilton that was a stunning qualifying lap. You could tell how special it was when Mark webber described it - he was thoroughly impressed. Hungary is a very happy hunting ground for him so don't be surprised to see hamilton up front in qualifying.
However, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see at least one ferrari split the mercs again and be stronger in the race due to the high temperatures.
That is all...
it is only for your benefit honored one.
