2019 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Yas Marina Circuit, 29 - 1 November/December

Imagine if it was Lewis saying it. the world would come to an end.

Exactly my thoughts actually. Hamilton would be getting pelters!

It's detailed input to prevent this in the future and perhaps win from an op Mercedes car in the future (everyone can win in that Mercedes).

Bottas can’t

Ferrari utterly decimated now they have lost the engine cheat. If Hamilton was actually pushing they would have been over a minute behind.

Vettel literally flew past albon like it's nothing from 0.95s behind. He made up 0.9s on one straight, get that. Would love to see red bull do that against ferrari, or anyone really.

Wasnt that due to 30 laps younger tyre on Vettel's car??
A redbull can also do that if they had that tyre advantage

[siskue2005]

Absolutely dominating performance. 400+ points in a season again for Lewis!!!

Yup

Cannot agree with you any less....this is the greatness of the team...not one weakness

[Wass85]

So that ends the Albon is leading Verstappen in points argument then.

Dominant performance from Lewis there, let's get the 7th next season and take it from there.

exit on the back straight vettel was 0.995s behind, barely getting drs. It doesn't matter what age tire was at that point. Or are you intentionnaly playing ignorant?

[atanatizante]

HAM just did the fastest lap of the race on his 24 lap or so old hard tyres and he managed to be almost 1 sec. quicker than LEC`s fastest lap on the soft ones .... How about that!

doesn't it matter? mainly when accelerating out of a corner?

[matt_b]

Closing the season with a gland slam and as world champion beautiful work

[izzy]

Lando is for real isn't he? All that pressure, for so long, and so nearly held Checo off. Then lol the radio with his performance engineer

And some say Ferrari hasn’t lost pace since the TD’s remembering that the Ferrari is tons younger

After traction limited zone was over vettel was still 0.85s behind, then ended up like 1 tenth ahead just before braking zone. Keep dreaming mate if you think honda was anywhere near ferrari PU performance in this race.

barely getting DRS. Maybe he was only able to open half of it?

Seriously though, Albon in a different power mode, Seb recharging more in the lap prior, much better launch off the hairpin, much better tyres.

Lol, why are you getting all defensive? i just asked a question regarding a car which had 30 laps younger tyre life ...which was a genuine question And where did i say anything like what you claimed??

After traction limited zone was over vettel was still 0.85s behind,

Didnt the 30 laps old tyre hinder his exit? doesnt the exit make his traction poor, hence couldnt reach the maximum achievable top speed? All i am saying is we cannot compare a car with 30 laps old tyre to claim something.
