Really looking forward to seeing how he performs this weekend, hoping he performs in line with all the hype surrounding his Sim work and test time in the Red Bull.

Do keep in mind that he’ll be driving a shitbox and not a Red Bull.

If he doesn’t win in an absolutely dominating fashion at the Hungaroring we’ll know he’s washed out.

We'll see, I suppose. I kinda just hope it means Yuki is pretty good.

Not to mention that his main complaint with the McLaren was corner entry and the AT has the same issue.

And breaks, don't forget the breaks...that Yuki describes in very colorful words last I remember...

This will be interesting, but my bet is if he could not consistently put decent laps with a shitbox mclaran, changing to a shitbkx alpha won't change a thing....

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That's not a good sign then. :(

[–] Determinator 2 points 1 year ago

I know, definitely managing my expectations cause of that. Will be interesting to see how he performs relative to Yuki at least.

[–] acosmichippo 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Part of me wonders if the car is actually better than it has looked driven by Yuki and Nyck.

[–] saltesc 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah. I've been under the impression that Yuki has been driving exceptionally well for most parts of the season. Especially until recently, he's been incredibly consistent.
