seeing the reason that newey left red bull is because he’s unsettled at the state the team has been in since the horner allegations came out like yes actually let’s circle back to that please!
I would say, well I don’t need to guess about this because Lewis was absolutely explicit about it afterwards, he said he really wished he had taken the same approach that George had taken which was in his first run in Q1, George fueled to do two timed laps so that he could have a feel of the car in the first flying lap, do a cool down lap and then have another bite at the cherry which would just give him more of a feel for the car.
Whereas Lewis went later in the session, one timed lap, one timed lap and Lewis was very clear afterwards that he needed another lap. He’d found that the changes he’d made had made the car more understeery, they’d made it easier for the car to lock up under the braking and he was just pinching those front brakes in a way that was causing him difficulties.
I think we all saw what happened on his second run, which was only his second timed lap therefore, running down the main straight into that bottom hairpin, he just got a little bit out of shape on the braking, went deep and that’s 0.7 of a second just there. That’s quite a big gap without which he would have easily got through to Q3 and whatever.
So he would hold his hand up and say “my mistake, my error”. I think we would be a little more rounded and say we should have actually encouraged more strongly that he was pursuing a program a bit more like George’s, so that’s our mistake and we should frankly be making a car that is just not so tricky as the one we’ve got at the moment which is causing the drivers to make very uncharacteristic errors...and locking up at the end of a straight into a hairpin is not in Lewis’ recipe book and it’s a consequence of the car being too tricky. - James Allison
I was so waiting for Lewis to say that he is from Scuderia Ferrari and now they have added this sponsor...I just hope that he will forget part of the name again like with amg petronas
ik you specifically mean those videos the drivers always do where they have to get the full name right… but lbr other than that, these teams are just ferrari and mercedes and sauber and redbull and literally no one mentions their title sponsors ever so
i know baby blue ferrari seems and looks interesting but please keep in mind the bds puma boycott is still active
puma is in a partnership with ferrari and makes a lot / the majority of their merch (at least clothing wise, i dont think they are involved with posters and miniature cars etc)
“seems and looks interesting” lol
ferrari is trying to collect every brand on that list it seems…. 🥴
but no i’m not buying ferrari merch anytime soon.
in the meantime, it seems that we have a plus44 drop incoming next week so 👀
