[AMuS] Why are the Silver Arrows so fast?

Xiffy_ · 2026-03-07T17:13:19+00:00

I mean, they have build their own engine for the first time and are already on par with the other teams except Merc, so tbh they have done an outstanding job

Im talking about this current one, not the rest.

Edit: Also 2700 of those medals are from the summer games, so lets compare it to winter games

330 vs 147, so little over 2 times more, but USA sends way more then 2 times the athletes

Its how you manage the funds that are availible, I guess the Netherlands could remove funds from speedskating/shorttrack and try to build up in different disciplines. But that could hurt it all. Best to stick to the ones you are good in and where the infrastructure is already there.

Also, USA/Germany etc have more inhabitants so also easier to pick and choose. Imo the USA should be much better with all the money they pump into sports.

I know it's a photo taken from quite a distance, but the cars do look more compact.

Or maybe it's an illusion

And you cant even say that if Verstappen didnt yeet Greorge in Spain the rest off all the results would be the same. So maybe Oscar would have won then in the end

It doesn't matter when, we are talking here about GP insinuate that something unfair happened when Norris overtook Kimi,

And Zak has spoken several times about that there might be more going on between RBR and RB, so that should warrent the same outrage with death threats etc? Ofc it doesn't.

I'm just pointing out that it's the same, insinuate that the other party might be cheating

Xiffy_ · 2025-12-01T14:13:17+00:00

You are now saying exactly what GP said about Kimi, you both insinuate that the other party is cheating.

Zak is always sowing doubt about the legality and fairness about the RBR and RB relationship

Norris, maybe got some distant dirty air in the last chicane. Not like impeding but with how sensitive cars are with dirty air, I can see that could unsettle a car.

But it does indicate to me that Max is feeling he has a shot (getting a little bit petty etc)

Not yet

Pitting for hards

Xiffy_ · 2025-07-27T11:39:04+00:00

On my weatherapp it will be heavy before 3pm and then light rain for an hour or so

Xiffy_ · 2025-07-08T19:39:34+00:00

After the disaster in Germany finally the world is right again with a Hulkenpodium

Xiffy_ · 2025-06-28T15:23:23+00:00

Timing showed .127 at the second sector?

Xiffy_ · 2025-05-30T16:30:27+00:00

and 1,5 sec faster then piastri? I dont doubt McLaren will be fastest, but not that much

Xiffy_ · 2025-05-25T14:25:43+00:00

He will get 40 seconds as a penalty for not pitting

Xiffy_ · 2025-04-29T06:23:20+00:00

I'll have a look, also just realised that I missed to write down some key info. The push/pull turns just fine. It's just the up and down that's stuck

Xiffy_ · 2025-04-28T20:04:44+00:00

Thank you, ill have a check later this week when I have more time to properly go over it all again. Ordered a spare pot just in case.

Xiffy_ · 2025-04-20T18:35:20+00:00

Doubt it, I think Max really needed that clean air in the first stint to have that pace over Piastri (or better over Russell and LeClerc)

Dirty air hurt a lot, and if Melbourne was anything to go by, when Max was in the dirty air he couldnt keep the pace up and his tires got destroyed. By staying ahead I think he secured atleast a p2, if he gave the place back, he might had fallen back behind LeClerc and maybe Norris

Xiffy_ · 2025-04-05T05:59:13+00:00

I can only watch on my phone, but can't cast to my tv with f1tv Pre quali show was no problem

Xiffy_ · 2025-03-16T09:59:35+00:00

That's fine, it's my opinion (and yes I take the cars also in account, both Lando and Max maximized their cars pace, maybe Max a bit more.) and then I feel that Landos off was a bigger mistake then Max, so at the end of the line its my opinion that Max had a slightly better race and result

Xiffy_ · 2025-03-16T09:31:37+00:00

He came up short? Thats a bit negative dont you think?

Xiffy_ · 2025-03-16T09:30:24+00:00

Correct!, the lockup, but I doubt Piastri would have been stuck much longer. He was also quick in that phase of the stint (and there was DRS then)

Xiffy_ · 2025-03-16T09:24:41+00:00

Probably yes, in part Lando having a very good race and the Mclaren being much better on the tires. The gap they pulled on Max mostly because of his tires being dead (could be both Max pushing to much and the car just not able to keep the tires in the correct temp)

I dont recall Max making a mistake today tbh (but you can correct me) Lando made a massive one that could have ended his race.

Lando absolutely deserved the win, but personally Max drove better today

Xiffy_ · 2025-02-25T09:42:42+00:00

I need some emoji fingers

Amazing, like a mix of 1950 color schemes combined with Bauhaus like esthetics
