I just read , Checo has made a big $3.5 Million hole in the Red Bull budget cap .
They should throw him 'IN that hole (!) I still can't believe they kept him for the rest of this season...

CH is the manager and probably OK'd by the Thai's. Mexican GP Checo cred comes into it a lot or there would be an eruption and still getting the Constructors must be a positive gamble for the team.

Did anyone else see the ban on asymmetric braking? Word is either Mclaren and/or MB were using this circuit to circuit to allow for a torque vectoring effect which would allow them great turning ability. It make a lot of sense now and will have to see what happens at Zandvoort.

Either way Max still had the slower car in 2021 - just that the driver actually matters and there Ham cracked like an egg under pressure. If we remove Ham's first 2-3 years of racing when he had the very best car and recalculate he basically has a handful of wins at that point in something like 130 races (and still had one of the best cars in F1 during all those years but couldnt do much with them). Max still ahead either way you slice it and had on average much slower cars those first few years. Last edited by HeelToeShift; 08-02-2024 at 07:49 AM.. |

I completely disagree, at Abu Dhabi '21 HAM lost out in the unfolding dramas by the minute as soon after the Williams crashed and MAX with the new softs and slower car with the re-configured starting positions had the more wieldy car that out braked LEW and indeed caught him napping in that particular corner where even seasoned journalists wouldn't have imagined he'd do it.

Ok so let's delfect back to 2021 when your little semantic goal post moving didnt work. The 2021 RB car was absolutely not the fastest car at all. Max was still down what 20-30 hp? If Ham is so good, Max took him down in a slower car in 2021 and beating that car (because it was mostly car) is something to behold since it was the most dominant car F1 has ever seen. I think this is more impressive than barely beating Alo who was washed at that point so a degree and also when Ham got all the upgrades due to his connections with Ron Dennis.

Mercedes were only in the mix because Hamilton is a better driver than Max. And despite having , the racing pedigree, all the lessons money could buy, the fastest car, being younger - He still needed cheating to beat Hamilton. |

An intriguing change made on the technical side has been to Article 11.1.2, related to braking systems.
“The brake system must be designed so that within each circuit, the forces applied to the brake pads are the same magnitude and act as opposing pairs on a given brake disc,” says the unchanged text before the new wording is confirmed with the following sentence: “Any system or mechanism which can produce systematically or intentionally, asymmetric braking torques for a given axle is forbidden." The tightening of the wording doesn’t suggest a team has already engaged such a system, but the governing body has spotted a potential loophole in the wording of the regulation. The change in wording may have been due to an audit of its own rules, or could have been pointed out by a team that may have spotted a grey area in the regulations and sought clarification. https://www.planetf1.com/news/fia-si...nges-2024-wmsc |

What I remember from Brazil 2021 is BOT flying past everyone like they were standing still in the Sprint Race on Saturday. Then HAM doing the very same thing during the Grand Prix on Sunday.
Also, I'm not sure why Newey would make such a claim when they only topped the speed charts in Intermediate 2 and were at or near the bottom everywhere else as shown here: https://www.fia.com/sites/default/fi...speeds_v01.pdf |

You again, are taking Newey's comment and changing it. He said, we have the faster car on balance. Not the faster car. When you change and alter the facts, your agreement is null and void. No wonder you support the Sham. All of the data shows that MB were the faster car over the course of the entire season. Your opinion means nothing when the data says the opposite.

If we go by data and not by “oh look how fast Mercedes is!”, Mercedes barely had the fastest car throughout the season, it was pretty much even. But people will say whatever they want to defend their position. Mercedes still had a championship caliber car but they lost performance in 2021 relative to most of the grid. The pace between Mercedes and Red Bull was very close. |
