So alot of changes.


It would be nice if you were wealthy and didn't have to work but it is different if you still had to lead the same life style with all these changes.

Thinking Ferrari could afford to dish out higher wages to get some actual talent.

I'm married with no kids but do see your point.

Yeah but with the budget cap it's harder. Then you'll be looking at axing 3 engineers to get 1 talented one. Then at what point will you not have enough engineers to get the small things done like designing fasteners, and at what point do you have enough talent to go fast? It's a tough balancing act.

Are engineers & human capitol subject to the budget cap? I thought it was just bits and pieces?

Unfortunately people count too, it's total operating budget which is why alot of teams had to let go of their engineers. There is an exception iirc for the top 3-5 personnel where their salary is uncapped.

Yes, if he only knew to not turn in and went a little wide…he’d already be the WDC.

You know, like Hamilton avoided Max in Brazil

They get the ones that are bad at cheating and get caught.

But VER had every reason to believe HAM bailed upon disappearing from his mirrors. HAM barely clipped him and VER almost pulled it off. Plus HAM didn't even remotely attempt to hit the apex where VER thought he would be. Unfortunately he was wrong but we all make mistakes. Just glad I don't have to make split second decisions at that speed.

Reference Brazil, HAM could still see VER and had a much better opportunity to avoid a collision.

I know, the frown was for Ferrari because truth hurts.

Wow, Aston plucked Dan Fallows from RBR (worked 12 years with Newey) and now Mercs #1. That car is going to be frictionless with full downforce on demand.

Good news is stroll will be driving, so that levels out any performance advantage.

But, but, but…if Max made a ‘smart’ move he would have went wide and avoided any contact. He was leading the WDC and would have been well ahead in the standings if he ended up finishing second instead of a DNF.

“Almost pulled it off”. Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Hamilton didn’t even remotely try to hit the apex but Max though he would in Brazil? Come on let’s be serious. Max went in hot, and missed the apex with elbows out, Hamilton was smart and went wide to avoid contact. Hamilton went in an missed the apex, Max turned in hoping Hamilton would back out….that split second, IMO stupid decision, may cost him the WDC.

I don't see you complaining about the others having jet mode... Redbull was just stupid slow, so that's a redbull problem not a Mercedes problem.



As per usual you just let the hate of Mercedes blind you from reality.

I hate anyone I suspect is cheating, you apparently don't.

The wing in question, the one that was on the car in Brazil was not tested.

Innocent until proven guilty, if you can prove mercedes is cheating I will call them out on it.

Otherwise if you hate without proof, then you imply you also hate max and redbull for cheating with their flexi wing which was caught and they had to change it, and if you also don't care about facts and only speculate max cheated by heating the tires higher than normal to get a higher pressure reading than what it was supposed to be - i.e. cheating with tire pressures. That caused the blow out. Since you don't care about facts then that's what we have.

Proof?

[F87source]

This is the link for all the top speed charts in quali, sprint quali, and the race:
https://maxf1.net/en/2021-brazilian-...eed-advantage/




- Lewis was never the fastest one, near the top but never the fastest one.
- Max was always near the bottom of the top speeds.


[IMG]


Qualifying:
Sprint qualifying:
- Lewis was fastest at the speed trap and intermediate 1 locations. At the finish line norris was the fastest, and at intermediate 2 leclerc was the fastest.

- Max again near the bottom.




During the race:
Lewis was never the fastest. AT the espeed trap sainz was the fastest, at the finish line gasly was the fastest, at the intermediate 1 postition gasly was the fastest, and at intermediate 2 perez was the fastest.

- max was at the bottom again.



Now before we go bezerk on the data, we need to note a few things: sprint quali and the race is not fair to max because he was leading most of the time so no drs or slip stream. So qualifying is more accurate as you have drs on tap.

However this completely debunks the myth that lewis had some kind if "jet mode" speed. This simply was not true. What we also notice is max is consistently at the bottom in terms of slow speed, so this is a max and redbull problem - even yuki and pierre were faster than max so it's not really honda either...


So it turns out you guys are once again projecting, you say we only listen to toto (who you say is a lair) for data - well looks like you are listening to the misleading and lying horner who exaggerates mercedes' and their speed.


Again I am fact checking you guys, even though you say you have alot of "knowledge" in this sport you know what is right and what is wrong. Well again I am proving you wrong with data to support it.

[F87source]

So Rick and Mpower - where is this mercedes jet speed you are talking about? Or are you guys making stuff up again? Likely you are just listening to horner lie and making stuff up because I see no data on your end.


In reality the speed delta is because redbull is slow not because mercedes is abnormally fast.

Proof?

The speed of the Merc at Brazil was phenomenal,so how do you explain his pace without your figures? Ham-was-faster,I saw it on the screen not the figures, how do you know the figures are correct

Just an opinion from a Ferrari fan biased WAY toward VER over HAM.

Smart? I never said it was smart. But I highly doubt VER would turn in at that speed not believing he was clear. Could it cost him a WDC? Thinking it already has along with other mishaps.

I also don't think the incident in Brazil is a fair comparison.

Get serious? I am serious and have my own opinion. Most everyone here knows I use HAM when I'm serious and nick names when I'm just goofing or pissed off

Anyway, it's Thanksgiving here in the US...Everybody enjoy and be safe!!!

Lastly, Please, DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE

UBER or LYFT is a lot cheaper!!!!!!

With all due respect, since I know you are kinda neutral, RB wasn't cheating with their Flexi wing. It passed all tests and they, along with other teams, were given several weeks to adapt and pass the new test. Also, no fines or penalties were given.

On the other hand, MB's front wing is way more Flexi than others as seen from wing cam. But the FIA is letting it slide and telling other teams to catch up.

Double standard to me. I don't believe tests and regulations should be changed mid-season. If a car passes all tests at the beginning of the season it should be fair ALL season IMHO.

I hold the same opinion for MB's rear wing which seems to be the current controversy.
