Seemed checo was on the same strategy as Max today, given the double stack before the SC.f1isgood wrote: ↑21 Apr 2024, 12:00I wonder if they could have run a different strategy for Sergio to get that P2. Quite unfortunate he was stuck behind Leclerc. Overall Max was at his best as usual, Perez is still getting them podiums, and race operations are by far the class of the field. It's the dream team.
I think this is the typical cornering style difference between a driver that prefers a more pointy car (Max) vs a driver that prefers a slightly more understeering car (Checo)venkyhere wrote: ↑21 Apr 2024, 12:10
This video that compares both their Q3 laps shows the difference : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfp0CTIN3V0
Max is focussed on the exit of corners by sacrificing entry, he does that by unloading the car earlier in the middle of the corner, straightening the car earlier and thus allowing for quicker traction at the exit. Perez is exact opposite. While this may not buy much lap time difference, it makes a huge difference in terms of tyre life.
Yeah this makes more sense. Also agree with @venkyhere.chrisc90 wrote: ↑21 Apr 2024, 12:03Seemed checo was on the same strategy as Max today, given the double stack before the SC.f1isgood wrote: ↑21 Apr 2024, 12:00I wonder if they could have run a different strategy for Sergio to get that P2.

Checo gets 95% out of the car, he needs to find that extra few %% and get to clear cars ahead quickly, exactly like Max does. Max knows theres a overtake and he makes it happen. Quickly. Checo doesnt seem to have the pace Max does. If he finds that extra %%, he will have no trouble getting 1-2's each race.
nah, it's just newey.Vettel165 wrote: ↑21 Apr 2024, 12:38Niki Lauda after Max won in Spain back in 2016.

He was rubbish today and ended a distant 3rd with a car that's miles ahead of McLaren.AR3-GP wrote: ↑20 Apr 2024, 06:20I don't see what the big deal is and I don't see any decline from earlier races. He was actually decent for the most part in the qualifying. In the race he was in a DRS train. When the opportunity appeared, he took it. Not a world beating drive, but not a drive to get fired over either.Dunlay wrote: ↑20 Apr 2024, 06:16Perez got to be the the worst driver in the best car. If not for Alonso, he would be finishing 5th. This is probably the start of him degrading after a good handful of early races, like it happens every year. If Ferrari makes some progress with their upgrades, he would be finishing behind both Ferraris consistently.
I agree. Perez was emulating Hamilton's Saturday performance. Safety car badluck? Different setup? Excuses...Dunlay wrote: ↑21 Apr 2024, 12:45He was rubbish today and ended a distant 3rd with a car that's miles ahead of McLaren.AR3-GP wrote: ↑20 Apr 2024, 06:20I don't see what the big deal is and I don't see any decline from earlier races.

"I felt amazing. All weekend I think we were incredibly quick. It's just enjoyable to drive every single compound, the restarts I think we all survived that well.
The car was basically on rails, and I could do whatever I wanted to with it. Those kinds of weekends are of course amazing to feel and to achieve what we did this weekend is fantastic.”
