#Hulkenberg at Mclaren
plain cargo
Nah I don’t think people realise how quick Lando is
Especially over a full race distance
Couple tenths in quali and probably 3-4 in race pace
plain cargo
wait no who was it nico got dominated by
Perez
Yeah there’s a reason he hasn’t been in a top car
He’s also been matched, if not bested by Kmag in the second half of the season
vestal ember
wait no who was it nico got dominated by
while he wasn't dominated by Perez, I'll give you that
however, counterpoint, look at his junior career, his time at Williams, and his first 2 years at Force india (11 & 12)
nico is not shit
put some respect on his name
he also won le mans in 2015
in the middle of the f1 season
and streets wont forget Brazil 2010
pole in the fw32
plain cargo
nico is not shit
he’s not shit, im comparing him to one of the fastest drivers on the grid
vestal ember
he’s not shit, im comparing him to one of the fastest drivers on the grid
lando is comfortably 6th imo, behind Verstappen Hamilton Alonso leclerc russell
wbu
(I'm not trying to argue here just wanna see)
plain cargo
Faster than russell and alonso imo
Equal in quali trim to george and faster in the race, opposite for fernando
vestal ember
wait no who was it nico got dominated by
did some more research on this and nico was 10kg heavier the entire time 😭
essentially Perez is a fraud
plain cargo
you know driver weight doesn’t matter right
vestal ember
you know driver weight doesn’t matter right
it did back then, there was no minimum weight req for drivers until after rosberg
so Perez was allowed to add extra ballast to improve balance
to make up for that
hulks height and weight were issues for him at other times too
they prevented him from getting seats at Ferrari and mclaren
maybe even mercedes
plain cargo
it did back then, there was no minimum weight req for drivers until after rosber...
not exactly true lol
because there was still a minimum weight for the entire car
if hulkenberg’s car was genuinely 10kg heavier than perez’s he’d be losing a stupid amount of lap time, multiple seconds
anyway, if you did need to slim down as a driver and didn’t then thats on you, you’re not dedicated enough
vestal ember
so Perez was allowed to add extra ballast to improve balance
.
vestal ember
anyway, if you did need to slim down as a driver and didn’t then thats on you, y...
he's one of the tallest on the grid, and he was on a strict diet the entire time
also 10kg is only roughly 3 tenths a lap
the point is not that the car was heavier
it's that Perez got to make use of more ballast to improve the overall balance of the car
giving him a tangible laptime gain
plain cargo
doesn’t really matter anyway if you’re getting beaten by magnussen a third of the time
vestal ember
Magnussen is a quality driver
but let me pull up the h2hs
I wouldn't call this being beaten a third of the time
41 pts to 16 is wild
vestal ember
this is both seasons combined though
it's only 2024.
vestal ember
yeah
put some respect on nicos name 😤
Norris is better but nico is not a bad driver, I rate him
plain cargo
have to remember magnussen did get eliminated in 2 races
vestal ember
it doesn't count those.
plain cargo
Norris is better but nico is not a bad driver, I rate him
yeah he isn’t bad but he would never win the wdc in the mclaren
vestal ember
hence why the race h2h has fewer results factored than the quali
plain cargo
it doesn't count those.
it does because he continued
vestal ember
yeah he isn’t bad but he would never win the wdc in the mclaren
i literally voted that he wouldn't
I just said that he's not as good as norris
ffs
