RB used Perez as test runner in the sprint race
And yet he ended up 9 tenths slower than max. Somehow that makes no sense to me
I hope Ferrari has a chance of taking the WDC fight to McLaren! If McLaren nails quali it'll all but seal the deal on that
Doesn't look like either of them have the pace against red bull and Mercedes tbh
That was one hell of a turnaround by RB. How did perez do all the setup related work in the Sprint and still end up 9 tenths behind max¿?
I mean max is really freaking impressive. But yeah, definitely great turnaround by the team on setup
Yeah team have done wonders using the data from the sprint. Still it confuses me that the team mainly used data collected from perez's car to determine the setup and yet max was 9 tenths faster. I would expect the setup to favour perez more
They might have had two different ideas for the setup, tried Idea 1 in the sprint race and when it did not work changed to Idea 2 for both cars based on data from Checo’s car.
Talent?
Well that cannot be true because the experts in the YouTube comments tell me it is all about the car. /s
One expert on the grid says max is just incredibly lucky
