But between a great driver and an average driver, it should only be two or three tenths difference. It shouldn't be close to a second," Coulthard said. Hey, that's the difference between Leclerc and Lewis!05-05-2025 06:04

Max has the highest downforce setup, he was quickest in sector 1 which is almost all turns. Mercedes had the highest top speeds on the straights = lower downforce. Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain.04-05-2025 18:38

Yes, it was quite clear that Antonelli was ahead at the apex. Croft and Brundle somehow don't see it that way. Or the stewards.03-05-2025 20:10

I reviewed the race highlights, when Piastri boxed, the gap was 2.7 seconds. My point with respect to the 2.7 s gap is that although Max did run slightly faster (he did pull a 2.7 s gap), the delta would never have been enough to overtake Piastri, if Piastri had ended up in P1 after the first corner. As you pointed out, Piastri might actually have been faster in stint 1, if he had clean air. So Max definitely would not be too overtake Piastri. To sum up, if Max had backed out of T1, or given the position back, he wouldn't have been able to overtake Piastri on track. His only chance would have been to stay within 1.5 seconds, and then hope to undercut Piastri.20-04-2025 23:16

It didn't cost Max. At that point, it was always going to be P2. Which is a whole lot better than P7.20-04-2025 23:05

Suzuka is high downforce, as well as flowing corners. Jeddah is a fairly tight street circuit. So the RB seems to be competitive on these 2. Circuits with slow, sharp turns may be a problem, although we don't know yet. The other factor is that tire deg was very low in Jeddah (as it was in Suzuka), which has been a big McLaren advantage. On high tire deg circuits and hot temps, McLaren just might destroy everyone.20-04-2025 23:00

Lewis didn't make a difference, Max never had a big enough Delta to overtake Piastri. Lewis was irrelevant.20-04-2025 22:51

The counter argument to this is of course, what if Max hadn't gone wide and off track? What if Max had only 2 wheels off track, and the other 2 wheels on track. With the shallow angle that Piastri went into the turn, there is no way Piastri could have then not run into Max. Going into the corner, Max was at most 2 feet behind. At the apex, Max was even less than that behind. Would Max be at fault if he had held line = stayed on track? IMO not. Problem was, Max didn't want a collision.20-04-2025 22:50
