Who just said ''this is a 5hit track with capital S'' a clue is he likes 44 number

i guess it was the most slippery sessions ever i ve seen on dry.. but it was already improving though the same company that puts a new tarmac down makes pretty grippy asphalt normally on the road even if types are different.. cause track surface even shines covered with some dust etc.. tracks location is generally 2-3c colder than the city and its quite windy up there in winter time.. seems like there were too much trucks or dust was around as well before the race and trying to clean it made it worse..

Mate listen, the composition of the new Turk asphalt layer (s@cks) and is NOT approved for F1 track use .
The Turks screwed it up . That's why we can see an Ice-tanbul by the lack of grip !
Even the SC was fighting to keep the car at the track...Unseen !!!
They can't fix this issue over this race weekend ...and a huge downforce setup or running with softs won't help either !
Note : Mate , my post is NOT offensive or disrespectful . It's NOT YOUR fault .

But It's a game changer for sure !

I'm not complaining about the ice track

in fact it could be a blessing in disguise and will be interesting how turn 8 is taken. F1 is likened to road safety by FIA in some ways so they can't be too choosy what asphalt suits who.

MAX : Look mom I'm driving on hards with my eyes shut !

///M Power-Belgium · 11-13-2020, 11:42 AM

MAX : Drove more than once on Ice-tanbul !

[QUOTE=///M Power-Belgium;26905203]MAX : Drove more than once on Ice-tanbul !

Now that would would scare the .hit out of me with that drop when starting,Max has nerves of steel.

///M Power-Belgium · 11-13-2020, 11:53 AM

Albon losing 0.5 sec in turn 8 !

My friend ,honestly as far as I know ...MAX don't knows what driver stress is or being put under pressure is !
Normally when he's under pressure , he is driving flawless

Yep .As you said my friend : Nerves and b@lls of steel !

M5Rick · 11-13-2020, 12:25 PM

[QUOTE=///M Power-Belgium;26905233]Albon losing 0.5 sec in turn 8 !

Hardly surprising as it's turn 8 and Alb backs off the gas more afraid he'll overdo it.
Just seen the two FP's on F1 tv and not one clip of 44 anywhere

Max has asked HAM if he'd care to compare performance pace in Mercs,wonder how he'd react doing the same thing as Max on that snow run in an old Merc, probably

Never trust Italians ! Wrong rubber compound guys !
So next time , let us throw another pizza in the oven ...

On the other hand : MAX made it look so easy , even on hard tires !
How can this be ?

The GOAT fans : It's not the car , It's the driver for sure !

Well , that's what we saw today !!!
