Not 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.
What
. Point 1, leclerc qualified on mediums In Q2 while he was 4 tenths slower than Max in Q3 when both were on softs. So it would have been EASY for Max as well. The mercs did Q3 on mediums. What on earth for if this wasn’t the fastest tire? Max set the fastest time in FP3 on mediums By a margin, then taken away due to track limits and then set the almost fastest time on this same set, Just a few hundredths off. Mercs did their fp3 run on red.
And you seem to think Bottas fastest time in Q2 was set on softs. And then you say I say whatever. Bottas qualified on mediums man, not on softs at all!
I am really angry about this personal attack. I do put a lot of thought in my posts. I hope you come back with a more fair reply. Goodday sir
Sorry, didn't mean to make you cry.
Remember RBR have a quirky turn in issue that makes the car a little more difficult to drive. That might have led to RBR not wanting to try Med. Again, in my opinion, it was touch and go on Med for Max getting into Q3 aka starting 11th.
Many of the cars were running multiple laps before putting in the fastest lap in quali. It was taking many laps to get the Softs up to temperature. Mediums are even harder to get up to temp.
Anyways, that Horner team rarely misses something. So I'd be surprised that they didn't have a good reason for not trying the Med in quali. That's all I'm really saying.
