But that’s a little bit of the problem... We “read” an article and our inherent bias for or against someone is what “makes it sound” one way or another... Taking things out of context or placing a tone on someone’s words.
I find it funny that some over analyze everything the drivers say and someway / somehow have draw a psychological profile of the drivers

I think over analysis is rife in here. I find it funny that some people dont realise how much they do it too![]()

As always on a Friday though, the question is who was pushing and who had the engine turned down. McLaren have made a point of it not to show their hand on a Friday at any race this year. Having said that, I don't doubt that Ferrari has genuine pace now.mwillems wrote: ↑04 Jun 2021, 12:03Just took a look at the times, Ferrari are looking strong again, their car also looks to be very well balanced.
On face value the "Mclaren will be fast here", "Ferrari will be fast there" seems not to be panning out again. Another fascinating season of ups and downs.
Nothing to do with this P1 session, but I have a feeling Ferrari are going to keep powering ahead this year, we will have to fight tooth and nail to stay ahead I think.
This is very true and they may be pushing more, but we've said that before, and given the trajectory that Ferrari are on right now, it feels like they may well just have the outright faster car.Herr_Koos wrote: ↑04 Jun 2021, 12:10As always on a Friday though, the question is who was pushing and who had the engine turned down.

Exactly, especially when not everyone is able to get a clean lap etc. taking Lando's mega lap for example... but usually Macca just seem to like to be a bit lowkey on a Friday, run heavier fuel or lower engine mode whatever, I mean I would argue if we go off last years race results and track types, most of the last tracks have been stronger Ferrari tracks, I think we've really come into a chain of strong races now, this race, France, 2x Austria, we must maximize the results here.Herr_Koos wrote: ↑04 Jun 2021, 12:10As always on a Friday though, the question is who was pushing and who had the engine turned down.

I wouldn't go that far in Baku. This is a loooong lap with plenty of time to be gained or lost. McLaren could perhaps sneak a pole at a shorter track like Austria though, or even Monza where they went so well last year.
You can keep more than one engine in the “pool” AFAIK. Maybe they want to put an higher engine mode this weekend and for that need a “fresh” engine.
Yes of course, that's what I was referring to. Use the new engine for maximum attack this weekend, and save the older one for use at a less power-sensitive track later in the year.
