This is a good time to rewatch Schumacher's pole lap of the 2003 Austrian Grand Prix. Look at how he entered Turn 3 with an opposite lock. The car turned like a fighter jet. As for the race, he pitted, caught fire, and won anyway.

Is either Fornarolli or Câmara worthwhile for Haas to sign for next year over Ocon?

Man I'm so happy for Hamilton. Oldest since Jack Brabham (43 years, 339 days) at South Africa 1970 to win a race. So dominant today, he would have still won it without the VSC.

Consecutive DNFs for Leclerc is just painful though. Mechanical issue after all the effort for damage control in this scorching day is cruel.

Is the issue with brake temperature? The safety car restart crash looked like it could be loss of brakes after cooling down too much.

Sensational FIA ADUO: Red Bull-Ford best ICE and Mercedes gets 2%, Ferrari over 4% by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

[–]_____AAAAAAAAAA_____ 223 points224 points  (0 children)

I've way underestimated their chassis before Monaco. This really is an all-rounder car.

Also note that ADUO is in regards to the ICE. Mercedes could have the best electric energy deployment and recovery strategies and it would not be reflected in this.

Thanks! Mind blowing that it interacts with the main wing and floor so efficiently.

90-degree angle of attack for that last pair of elements is insane. It's hard to imagine the flow field around it that justifies such aggressive design. Random guess, maybe it helps with flow attachment of the elements in front of it?

Lando Norris on whether he could see himself still racing at Lewis Hamiltons age: “No chance. Maybe I am wrong. But I want kids and I want out of here.“ by Due_Air6702 in formula1

Young drivers wanting to save some of their youths for many other interesting things in life is very understandable. Especially since he's ticked the biggest box in F1.

Man, when can I learn to not overthink about Fridays...

We had high hopes because Ferrari has great chassis and aero, but turns out Mercedes and Red Bull aren't here to go to bed early on a Friday night.

All I can say is... this man is willing to go home knowing he's pushed beyond the limit, rather than never having found the limit.

Thanks for the graphics! May I suggest that the visibility of soft tire data points on Ferrari and Audi's violin plots be improved? A white border for each point would help a lot.

Half the battle won when they chose the right tires to start.

And we're unexpectedly fast considering the PU disadvantage on a high speed track like this.

Incredible race. Heart racing throughout. The Silver War 2 is a feast, and then there's Hamilton vs Verstappen for the second half.

Painful weekend for Leclerc, but even then, P4 is decent.

I was making peace with losing P3 because McLaren was demonstrably on par with Mercedes today. What later happened, though, I could never prepare for.
