Yeah. Perez prefers a bit of understeer. Which is what the car is doing now

Thank's, I just saw that Gary Anderson's analysis:Sergej wrote: ↑22 Jul 2024, 13:42not sure if the aim was to help Perez, but judging by this video it seems that indeed it gave more rear stability, maybe even too much as Max says (we know he prefers a strong front end)willmesquita wrote: ↑22 Jul 2024, 13:38Guys, is that true the upgrade has targeted to give more rear stability to turn the RB20 more ok to Perez style?
Its really dificult to achieve that. The fast way of driving is what Max,Leclerc,Norris and Hamilton likes, everything else with stable rear etc are slow. Max is the best in this but the car needs to be with him.
I have the same feeling with Dutch television. Unbelievable how much they bash other drivers, especially Hamilton!Rikhart wrote: ↑22 Jul 2024, 10:27Sky f1 is unbearable to listen to, a sports channel simply cannot spend whole races bashing on a driver with cheap jokes as if they are the guys down at the pub. The constant jokes about "maybe he's cranky from lack of sleep", "maybe his head is just not here", "maybe he should sleep more", "maybe he wants to go back to his games", what a --- show of a comentary team these guys can be sometimes. Also failing to notice how Verstappen was 100% pushed off the track at the start, looking at haminton turn into someone and failing to notice that, etc etc etc.

Yep...if they do not keep the points together, McLaren will loose it in the same way.Vettel165 wrote: ↑22 Jul 2024, 13:11Yes agree 2009 it was similar, Brawn GP being a dominant force in the first part of the season and then slowly falling behind the Red Bull. Button just did enough to bring the WDC home. I also think right after Spa "the real circuit" we will know more what to expect later in the season.
If we look at the remaining races, we have Spore, Baku, Vegas, Katar, Monza?....there is more tracks I would not call "usual", these are all tracks very likely for outlier winners.

Although I agree that sky f1 is annoyingly biased. I found Max also unbearable to listen to yesterday. Show a bit of class, I understand, in the heat of racing you will not always communicate in the most nuanced way. But this went on and on. If you dont want to be in RB anymore, then go away. But this is an attitude that I do not respect, the team gave him so much, acting in this way is just poor human behaviour. And this from someone who has always been cheering for him.Rikhart wrote: ↑22 Jul 2024, 10:27Sky f1 is unbearable to listen to, a sports channel simply cannot spend whole races bashing on a driver with cheap jokes as if they are the guys down at the pub.

My post was a reflection on how Max behaved on Sunday. I do not think Max drives more aggressive than other drivers in the same context. I have seen Lewis cry more over the last few years than Max, who just occasionally had his outbursts. So do not take my comment as a judgement of character, it was a judgement of behaviour on Sunday.Emag wrote: ↑22 Jul 2024, 19:48Its how Max has always been, I dont see why anyone is surprised. If you win races comfortably with little effort there is no reason to be upset, so nobody saw that side of him for a while.
He has proven to be a hypocrite a long time ago, doing the same things he criticizes other drivers for but expects different treatment when he does them himself.
Divebombing and locking up and he blames the car in front for almost taking him out. Ridiculous.
But he gets away with it, because the FIA has never punished nor done anything to indicate that they would demand cleaner racing from drivers in the pinnacle of motorsport.
Not Max's fault though. Why change an approach when you're not being punished for it. The only downside is that once in a while you will come across drivers like Lewis who won't back out to make way for you.
When the car is better suited for Perez, this is the result: the car is unable to win. No wonder they have relied on Verstappen's style over the years.
There are a lot of things that can make future races different. Remember that in Hungary they used their Monaco rear wing. We won't see that rear wing again until Singapore, and not again after that.
