Bottas did that lap on mediums in the first stint of q2. Check the replay.diffuser wrote: ↑27 Oct 2020, 18:26Sieper wrote: ↑27 Oct 2020, 15:04Not a problem. The medium was the fastest qualify tire as well.
Two reasons. I think 1 do something else as Merc and hope it works. No cigar. 2 have an advantage in the opening lap and see if you can keep them behind. No cigar.
Option 2 did have some success as Max got Bottas at the start but (as could be seen in the ziggo post race analysis) 2020 Max is very carefull in the opening lap and he gave Bottas plenty of space who aggresively put it next to him and even fully forced Max of track. A point not being mentioned anywhere. Forcing a driver off track. Opening lap of course but still. It caused the Perez jump attempt, which caused the mclaren attack, the charles and kimi attack etc. The point, Max is very carefull with others these days but that did negate the opening lap advantage.
WRONG
1:16:4 was the fastest lap in Quali by Bottas in Q2 ON SOFTS.
I think you just say whatever, with out looking at any data.
They went out again on soft at the end of q2 but they never put a lap together.
