Nah probably not. We're likely talking a small performance difference and only with their specific low drag wing. Apparently only remaining race where they'd likely use it is Vegas.

Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking. With my armchair opinion. Apparently it impacted their slipstreaming a little, so there might be some gain from that change anyway.

I was only joking! Yeah I agree. It’s what was posted about the gains were very minimal, but still has an impact on the straights.

So are they still running it for this weekend?

Surely Norris isn't going to fall victim to flags again?
Max also surely in trouble? Sainz's accident wasn't subtle! Especially after Norris lifted for a very soft yellow last week.

So are they still running it for this weekend? It's not applicable for this weekend as it's a high downforce layout. Totally different wing.

Piastri fucked it there

Post by muddyfunster on Sept 21, 2024 14:23:56 GMT
Yeah Piastri's been poor all weekend thus far. Continues to not actively help Lando...
Anyway, Lando and Max held their nerve and Charles didn't.
Pretty worried about T1 now. Odds on Max committing to the run off then claiming he was pushed wide?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Lando and Max smash on the first lap, then Oscar wins…

Pretty sure we always think this and then Max just completely bosses lando on the start.

Nice. So are we going to get a proper race or will it be Monaco tactics and go slow to prevent gaps behind?

Wow a good start for Lando for the first time.

Starting to miss the likes of Latifi or Sargent, nobody left to reliably stick in in the wall and spice things up.

Wonder if Haas will ask KMag to go into Miami ridiculous blocking mode again. Would help Hulk.

Norris is doing the job so far, but this is spectacularly dull.

Not really sure what McLaren were thinking there with Piastri, unless that hard tyre is terrible.

McLaren may have fucked this again with their strategy. Don’t get why they didn’t call him in earlier?

Post by muddyfunster on Sept 22, 2024 13:14:17 GMT
Macca probably just waiting for an SC in the hope it'd give him a chance at attacking Max.
Otherwise I think he was looking at third at best anyway. He's not had the pace this weekend. Maybe enough to catch Max but probably not enough to pass without a big offset. At least this way he'll have that advantage if there's is an SC.

I think if they pitted earlier they’d be closer to Max. I think 18 seconds with 16 laps?

Piastri is so much slower than Lando on younger tyres. 0.7-1s per lap.

Could really have done with Verstappen not bagging 2nd here though.
