So much of throttle time on that jeddah track. Wtf. Basically the overtaking will only be done at the 1st corner
*
Thus why merc use old engine yesterday...the amount of load at jeddah might cause blown engine? since its not on their 'planned' circuit

QUOTE(4WD_er @ Nov 22 2021, 12:32 PM)
There are few very slow corners in Baku which helped RBR.  As for Jeddah, it seems that the corners are of higher speed.  That may help the Mercedes.

Tyre strategy revisit.

1. God know why Mercedes delayed VB pit to such a late lap.  Else No 4 at the very least.
2. Norris changed his white tyre in the correct windows it seemed.  Bad luck in hitting some debris I guess.
3. SP should do with 1 stop, why RBR pitted him so early ?
4. Good job for the Apline !

to give him soft to steal the fastest lap from max

yea...bad luck

3. SP should do with 1 stop, why RBR pitted him so early ?
i think to disrupt bottas strategy...but he really should get extra bonus salary for amount of work he done yesterday.

4. Good job for the Apline !
Yea...Alonso kept the tyres alive until the end

With bottas 6th, but with med, if he can keep up with those on soft he can block them for lewis after the 1st pit stop

I think lewis should gave the position back. But the steward, might be thinking max is overly aggressive based on previous races.

You can do that occasionally, but when you kept using it...the odds is stacked against you.

So many happy voices here for the soap opera.... What do you say unfair? It showed the fans wanted a new champion regardless of the rules....

I would prefer for red flag. And 5 lap of all out race with new tyres for both leaders.

The first one ya I was surprise they didn't as it's under VSC

Second one they had no choice, also considering its only 6 laps left

Too late to call him in, and usually it ended with SC finish.

FIA should find replacement for Masi. So many inconsistent/controversial decision for both sides this year.

Also have permanent steward team for every races, since video conferencing is so advance nowadays.

The thing with stewards is that they're former drivers. Probably none can commit their time to become permanent stewards. They need to find competent guys who are willing to commit which might be not easy. Masi is supposed to give the uniform guides when discussing with all these different stewards.
*
Maybe have a pool of them and rotate on shift, so the next race will always have mostly the same members.

In the heat of the moment, he will say this kind of things la. Even MV would have said the same if VB did it to him.

Anyway, felt Toto went over the line when he told Masi not to turn the VSC into an SC earlier in the race. That was not right. But for the part when they let lapped cars overtake SC at the end, i can understand Toto’s frustration/anger. Lol
*
The problem is that only certain car are allowed to unlapped by being lapped under safety car...which is weird.

I think FIA and F1 fans(not Mercedes fans though) like the excitement too. I thought it was a done deal, almost stopped watching after Kimi retired earlier.

With max on fresh soft, it is already decided who will win.

My conspiracy theories. Hehe

Masi want to end with SC because he himself more concerned about the safety when asked by horner

BUT

Someone higher (racing god) instructed him to do the 1 lap race for the SHOW.

Yes I too feel MV despite his dirty moves still deserves the title because of Baku, Silverstone, and Hungary. If not for those, he would have wrapped up the title maybe 3 races ago. It's LH who was lucky to still had the chance almost stealing the title.

SP can be forgiven due to this being his first season adapting to new car and team. There were several races where he was just nowhere, hence costing RB the constructor points.
*
SP done very well compared to VB imo. He held lewis fairly for several turns...VB on the other hands...

Except when he play pinball and took out both RB

SP is surely superior than the weak VB during combat but VB has much better and consistent raw performance to keep scoring big team points.
*
VB should be able to do better as he have been driving the car longer than SP. Heck, even Russel can matched him without knowing some extra function the car had

Not really. The fact that he tinker with the ruling so many times over the year proved he's no racing god. Entertainment god perhaps.

Honestly I'm most baffled by how overtaking really means this season. Has it been like this hard to determine the car that ahead or overtake successfully?

The racing god i meant is cough...liberty media cough cough...they are entertainment company

Haha
