Good night all.
he had the fastest car but he couldn't overtake George Russell

he was kinda faster than Max at the end only because he had fresher softs and Max's softs were gone

That's about the gist of it, with whatever strat McLaren used it was covered by RB and timed to a tee with the papaya team running out of time when it mattered at the end.
Upgrades are due any moment on the RB 20 as the front suspension is reworked to work compliantly to their needs.

I see these as two very positive steps towards solving the issues with last year. Hopefully wont see as many violations this year. Physical deterrent plus faster warnings.

Interesting graph that I've never seen before...

Interesting to see in graph form how damn consistent Max is... he clearly had 3 modes, most of the other drivers had much more spread out lap times.

Yes very interesting. I'm sure lap times in terms of mean absolute deviation are on every team principle's laptop after every session.

My friend there are forces way beyond the FIA on this. This direction is from the manufactures and the manufactures are the bitches of the government and the green grift.

Have you forgotten the stupid crashes he caused? Pastor Maldonado got his funding from Venezuelan state-owned oil company PDVSA.

No, I haven't forgotten but we are talking $hitty drivers. So, I wasn't taking crashes into account.

Pastor was likable
Pastor drove for Williams and Lotus

By the numbers, Perez is the better driver. Latifi managed a whopping 9 points in his short career. Stroll, 285 points, 3 podiums, 1 pole, no wins. Perez 1597 points, 39 podiums, 3 poles, and 6 wins.

A good amount of Perez's points/wins came while he was in the RB, but not all. He did well at Racing Point/Force India.

He's the underdog I like to root for. It's fun because from week to week, you never know if he'll be on podium, or fighting Haas for last place...
