Max almost lost it during the restart... His lucky day.

Lewis wouldn't be too sad honestly... After seeing what happened to Valterri.

I doubt it... He's a lap down despite being 9th... Probably 7th

I dont think it is all about the engine. More like Mercedes and Pink Mercedes using low rake problem.

To those who said Honda is powerful, lol...

Now Mercedes trying to stop their engine man from leaving for RBR early.

It wont make a difference imo.

I think the revised may work out better when coupled with DRS. This year car can follow more closely compared to last year. I think it contributed greatly to Lewis effort to overtake both Max and Valterri last weekend.

Reminds me of Schummi in France... Box box box... We need 20 qualifying laps...

I think Lewis drove brilliantly today

Impossible... The soft won't last.

I don't think Max would win even if they matched Mercedes. It is very apparent Mercedes is still much better on medium. Lewis tyres were only 4 laps younger but he's so much faster on them compared to Max. Even Max is telling his engineer that is crazy how much grip the Mercedes is generating when Lewis reels Max in after the first stop.

The soft wouldn't last even for RB. That isn't so hard to understand. Haven't you felt this since last year? Soft only for early part of the race. Mediums and Hards for later.

I think when the car is designed around one driver, the other has to adapt. That's why I feel Botta performance is not consistent.

You're expecting sub 1:19 for 15+ laps... In the race, there's really less difference between the tyres. There's more difference between fresh and used, less between compound IMO.

It wont happen la. Soft wouldnt do for Barcelona. You probably get 10 decent laps before falling off a cliff. I dont think it would change anything the moment Mercedes under cut RB.

I think the term tyres could last for xx laps is defintely a very loose arguments in F1. The current trend in F1 is performance degradation. How much the tyre performance would degrade over time is more important than how long the tyre would last. The soft last for 25laps for Max, 3 laps were under SC, and what are the lap times? It was 1:22:xx... you want to compare tyres lasting 22 laps going around 1:22:xx to the same tyre going around 1:18:xx for 20 laps? There was some slight blister with rear right of Lewis medium tyre and he was only going 1:20:xx. I guess you probably want to argue about fuel load... every 10KG of fuel would cost 0.1sec only.

If you are talking about gamble then MAX should have drove flat out without conserving his tyres. Why? He would probably make his tyres wear faster, but he would not be as much as 2sec slower a lap and could possibly put on soft and drove flat out for 10 laps to maximise his chances. The moment he backed off to preserved his tyres, all is lost.

Wow... Solidnya redbull

I dont think it is straight line speed. I think it helps with cornering.

I think news reporter it on Friday/Saturday and they were paying extra attention to it later on.

But the flex is really too much. I think you could probably even see it when following behind under drs. It was apparent how much it was flexing when first picking up speed and later under braking.

Boring race but great result to close the standings... hopefully we can stop coming to street race like Monaco. Back then they are still able to follow closely and overtake at the exit of the tunnel, but now habuk pun tarak. They need to choose wisely if they intend to keep the fans interested.

Commentator baru cakap Max is solid, then crashed

Funny thing is commentator also added I don't want to jinx it but Max is solid, so is Perez, then it happened.

Race stopped... wtf

Just end la...

FIA and RB doing something stupid. 2 laps left after 1 lap SC. Not even enough for DRS to activate.
