they actually never made any inroads forward, its just that the other teams ferrari AM and mclaren also were poor the first 2 years its why they were p2, but now their true colors is showing
south heron
yeah
grim egret
they are a p5 team
south heron
even in 2023 they only beat Ferrari because Leclerc was the only one scoring points for them in the final 2 races
that and if McLaren's car was that good from the start they would've probably challenged for P2 as well
grim egret
they only on p2 in the last last minutes
south heron
more likely they'd have been fighting for 3rd rather than 2nd but they still would've taken enough points away from Merc

another nail is not winning alonso.

when he had a good car he was giving ferrari and checo some sweat

yeah at the very least I think Magnussen and Ricciardo will be out of a seat
wouldn't rule out Bottas deciding to hang up the helmet either but I also wouldn't be surprised if he continues for a couple more years
Sargeant is also likely out but he could still improve plus he's kinda been unlucky as well
cyan saffron
yeah
south heron
I love him but I'm not sure if I can see him staying in F1 past this year
cyan saffron
I have to agree tbh.
south heron
like... he's been decent, but not really outstanding?
at the same time though he hasn't been that far away from Bottas but with Alfa/Sauber being how they are who knows how good Bottas is these days
cyan saffron
Yeah, that's kinda unknown.
south heron
maybe we'll see that a bit better this year if Sauber learn how to do pitstops again
Australia hurt to watch like jfc
I think Bottas was close to or in the top 10 yet he dropped far behind when he pitted
cyan saffron
yeah
Zhou in Jeddah was looking quite good as well.
Then another Sauber pit stop happened.
south heron
oh yeah I heard
yeah for the team that will be the Audi works team in 2 years they really aren't looking good
cyan saffron
They really need to stop throwing wheel nuts away.
south heron
yeah they really need to break their pitstop dyslexia

yeah
south heron
the car actually doesn't look that bad too
then again Alpine shitting the bed probably has given them a bit of an assist
south heron
kinda yeah
cyan saffron
a bit behind though
south heron
I'm kinda surprised as I was expecting them to have the worst car especially given how last year was
cyan saffron
But definitely capable of points if the top 5 have some trouble.

and the second half of 2022 too by extension as it seems they forgot how to develop their car

no, it is because the car is adjusted to Perez's driving style and not last year
didn't know
Yeah
stiff bough
why... would the car be adjusted to either max's or perez's driving style?
I feel like... you would just develop the car to be as fast as possible and let the drivers figure out the fastest way to drive the thing
ahhh no thats too rational

yep, the car became pointier because RBR engineers saw that would be the path to make the car faster

the car that Max and Red Bull complained?

I can tell, the internal struggle must be immense.

because they aren't capable of driving cars the way they need to be driven to be fast

Very few drivers are capable of doing that.

a team stands to gain nothing if only one driver is able to drive the car to its fullest potential

because you can't provide proof to your bs?
so you can explain it right?
pls by all means
such as?
raven wagon
So where in "The car is what it is" suggests RBR builds the car around Max
fast fable
What's happening?
still forge
The results
Which result in Max being better than his teammates, in the same car

so because Max is a better driver than Perez, Albon, and Gasly, that means the car is built around him
I guess the mercedes were built around hamilton

And Russell got more skills.
shit Mercedes have been making the car around George Russell this year
so I go back to my comment earlier
still forge
...and?
slim chasm
nope, the results proof otherwise
stiff bough
because Verstappen is a better driver than Perez and his two previous teammates, the car is automatically around him. Not because of skill or talent, just the car

hello everyone

Not looking close at all.

Because Perez is not on the level of Max

how? cause they beat other midfield drivers?

I don't think anyone here thinks they are bad, they are just not generational ta...
who I just got here
slim chasm
oh no Albon beats Latifi and Sargeant, truly Max level of talent
still forge
Strawman argument? That literally is why people started praising Albon for his efforts again
raven wagon
Sounds super contradictory to what you said earlier
still forge
And who was his teammate?
raven wagon
And who drives the car?
The drivers
The car may be fast, but you need drivers to maximise the potential of them
slim chasm
source?
still forge
Beating a rookie Sargeant, who needed 3 retirements and 2 disqualifications to score a point is just about expected and not a good comparison line to Albon in general
still forge
Are they
slim chasm
how do you know it's the 8th fastest car?
still forge
F1 literally works in this kind of context lmao
slim chasm
maybe it's the 4th but Albon drove it instead of Alonso
snow swan
hey uh @stiff bough someone posted someone’s straight up balls covering the sun in #ot｜memes it’s the news one
still forge
Same as you mate
raven wagon
All i see in your "arguments" are pinning the blame on Albon, Gasly and Checos struggles in RBR on the car being tailored for Max
slim chasm
verified how?
still forge
So you don't think Albon scoring quite regularily and Sargeant being Sargeant handicapped Williams overall on a hunt for a possible better place?
Which would indicate that the car is faster than it seems?
slim chasm
how are they proven good?
raven wagon
Gasly is now being beat by Ocon
raven wagon
And wheres Pierre now
slim chasm
what a good stick
raven wagon
Getting outraced by Ocon
still forge
If you look at their teammates, there's nothing even remotely special in there, other than Kobayashi's stint with Perez
slim chasm
how do you know it's the 5th fastest car? for all we know it could be the 3rd but Gasly held it back
so?
yes, cause the tp driver ranking is known to be accurate
still forge
If you look at their teammates, there's nothing even remotely special in there, ...
And him being teammates with Button in 2013
raven wagon
So explain how Pierre is getting beat by Ocon so far this season, champ
What, Alpine builds their car around Ocon?
still forge
Because Perez started binning it out of nowhere post-Miami
raven wagon
Not making q3 5 times in a row is nothing to be blamed on the car
slim chasm
They have access to the telemetry, race data, engineering data of other teams?
this is news to me
skill issue
also skill issue
raven wagon
Everybody bashed Danny Ric for being shit against Norris
slim chasm
source?
raven wagon
Nobody blamed Mclaren for favoring Lando by developing cars towards his driving style
slim chasm
so the car is not build around Norris?
so the team doesn't build their car around the driver? But it's the driver that understand and adapts to the car?
got it
a 40 years old Alonso yes
I just quote you?
how do you know?
which is?
and?
well I'm in my mid 20s so

Good
Explain why Sainz was neck and neck with Leclerc in 2021
Or why Ricciardo outright floored Vettel in 2014
Or why Leclerc beat Vettel in his first year at Ferrari
Qualifying? Points are awarded in the race
slim chasm
so by not being blind, Alonso is known to be fast?
I'm not?
how so?
I'm curious
and Alonso beats Ocon by the same margin
how so?
still forge
I did, Sainz and Leclerc were always close in the championship that year
still forge
Well, ok
Who ended up ahead?
still forge
Ok, so?
Sainz was in a position to be close to Leclerc even if it was his first year at Ferrari, to Leclerc's 3rd
It ended up on his favor
still forge
More podiums
5.5 more points
The driver ahead was in his first year in Ferrari
slim chasm
and Leclerc scored points when Sainz retired
still forge
To be fair, Sainz did not retire in 2021
slim chasm
Qatar DNS, Belgium and AD retired
still forge
Which is a plus to him, if not anything else
still forge
It's part of life, you cannot really do anything about it

And why did the gearbox needed fixing?
slim chasm
you're saying only Leclerc has bad strategy and bad luck in general in Ferrari?
why is it broken?

If you watched the season as you say over and over, you would surely remember why it was broken in the first place

That is literally what happened
slim chasm
proof?

My head is spinning from what's happening here... 😵💫

No fault
slim chasm
so what about the other races?
slim chasm
How is that no fault?
because it's Leclerc mate
he got no fault and all the bad luck duh
smh haven't you used common sense
and?
still forge
Generally Leclerc ain't mainly at fault when something happens but this is just too far
slim chasm
because there's no issue there
still forge
Which indeed was a part that would bring no penalty if it was changed
But Ferrari did not check it
And there would be no need to check if Leclerc did not crash in qualifying
slim chasm
because they didn't have time to check everything
the car was in parc ferme most of the time
still forge
He was partly at fault for that, you cannot argue against that
Hungary i can give it to Stroll being Stroll
But relieving Leclerc from any fault in Monaco is a wild stretch
still forge
Plus, how do we know how his race would have gone?
He could have an engine failure mid-race
He could have one of his signature Monaco moments
A puncture
Anything
slim chasm
try 1 tenth
still forge
This is the problem about Leclerc generally
His sole line of defense falls in "if this did not happen" and "if Ferrari had done that"
It almost sounds like Alonso stans naming the tiniest point loss that made him lose 2010 and 2012
slim chasm
This is the problem about Leclerc generally
His sole line of defense falls in "...

First year at Ferrari
Your point is that drivers struggle on their first year against an experienced teammate in said team

well Leclerc was in the Ferrari longer so he understood the car dynamic better

No, and it kinda is irrelevant here

oh cool
you said so
you clearly are

all of Sainz's doesn't ofc

Proceeds to blame drivers underperforming on the car

and all the 18 other drivers has?

Im sorry, but when your teammate is fighting for podiums and wins and you are stuck fighting for P7 and midifeld positions every race, its not a car problem

@snow swan you should watch albons podcast, answers a lot of questions
raven wagon
And make it more specific "sharp and direct"
slim chasm
nah that's not it, it's clear that Red Bull makes a car that Albon didn't like
it ran against the Max's haters agenda gasp
raven wagon
I dk how you come to the conclusion that drivers underperforming in cars is cause they are tailored to the no.1 driver
By that logic, Rubens, Bottas failure to win wdcs is cause teams developed cars for the no. 1 driver
slim chasm
By that logic, Rubens, Bottas failure to win wdcs is cause teams developed cars ...
ofc they are
clearly they were as good as Michael and Lewis but the car wasn't built around them
raven wagon
The car is built to be as fast as possible
Simple
And to be that in RBRs case, they develop it that way and Max adapted to it better than other drivers
And your claim about the RBR drivers doing better outside of the team is not 100% correct
Perez underperformed in 2013
Pierre is now getting beat by Ocon
