To me pit stops is all about training and consistency, and your team's budget isn't a massive factor. So how does Red Bull pull these consistently fast stops while so many other teams are just slow? Or horribly inconsistent? View Quote I've noticed that too. Haven't paid attention to Williams lately, but they used to be the exception. They were usually pretty quick. |

The real sonofabitch with Red Bull is that once somebody catches them with car development, they are going to have to deal with their strategy and pit stops.
Crazy. Japan - 2.1s, 2.1s, 2.1s, 2.0s China - 2.1s, 2.0s, 1.9s, 2.0s |

The fact that they did it twice and had the space to do so was awesome.

Lol, Lando bet he'd be 30s behind the Ferrari's.
This was not Ferrari's weekend. Although they did finish ahead of their starting positions after falling below their starting positions, so not a bad result, but never really showed much "strength" this weekend. Fernando is a machine. That save out of the last turn was nuts, then just to completely collect yourself and blow by the pouting 7x champ a couple corners later was great stuff. Lance has zero place in this sport. But I've said that for years. Just another data point today. Max spanking everyone as usual, including his own team mate. And a 1.9s stop!? |

Finally got caught up and watching post race. Really impressive drive by Lando. Stroll needs to be canned. Danny Ric was clearly not happy in his post race and I don't blame him.

Up to that point it looked like he could have scored points and was performing better than Yuki as well. Got to see a glimpse of the old Yuki as well but he did get handed a soup sandwich and rightly so was angry. |

How long is K Mag going to be in? The sport looks the other way when he slows in corners for 3/4 the race to keep folks from passing him, but if Alonso does it, it’s worse than a sex crime.
Today he blows a country mile to take out Yuki and gets to keep racing. When are they going to just start Parking cars for bullshit. Lance too. What a clown. And it was not anyone brake checking. He just came in too hot to a slow turn |

It all depends if Carlos prefers the “Ricciardo gamble” of chasing money or a higher probability of winning. I don’t think we can deny at this point that Red Bull wants Sainz if he is available at a certain rate. The Mercedes seat is a one and done dead end with Antonelli coming in. They will need to hire someone who is willing to take the option knowing there is a high probability it will be their last year in F1. |

Perez has had a 5th place finish in a damaged car, a 3rd place podium yesterday, and finished 2nd in every other race. He hardly has a "lack of pace" and missing out on 2nd was more due to strategy and the safety car than Checo's driving. Lando nursed those tires better than anyone expected. https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/perez-f1-safety-car-meant-it-was-game-over-for-second-place-in-china/10602076/ |

Zhou Guanyu having his own little spot to park on the straight behind the podium winners might be the lamest thing I’ve seen in F1

In reference to Perez, it appears to my unprofessional, armchair qb on Monday eyes that he struggles moving through and passing traffic consistently.
When i watch some of the other drivers; Sainz, Fernando, Norris, it appears Perez lacks the same confidence to get in there and make a move consistently. Just one man’s opinion - thoughts? At least he isn’t at the other end of the spectrum and like Stroll. 🤪 ( if he was he wouldn’t be on the team) |
