Merc seems to be coming back into form. Very excited to see what they do next year. Can’t believe Lewis managed on those scrub mediums.
Ferrari actually did quite well, relatively speaking. Expected them to fall off way harder.
Danny was great, maybe brilliant. He put himself on the second row but we all knew the AT doesn’t have the race pace to keep that. I won’t be surprised to see him overtake Yuki in the points.
It’s hard being a Checo fan, and he may have lost me today. He keeps making these stupid pass attempts and I just don’t understand it. He compromised Charles’ race too. Just, unreal and disappointing af.
Haas was surprising, but faded away as is tradition. They just did it a bit slower save for Kmag’s crash.
They did well in Mexico last year too...i would hold calling them improving the car until next 2 races...untill next upgrade tm. 😭
I’m basing on the last two races. Lewis said he feels like he can lean on the car for the first time since the new rules, and the way he’s outperformed George these last two weeks has me thinking they’re figuring it out.
But you are still correct, it could be a flash in the pan.
Fingers crossed...the question still is, will this allow them to take a step forward and fight rb next year, which is quiet a large gap, or will this just make them slightly faster #2...hopefully RB makes a mistake and does not improve next year letting other catch up, but unlikely.... Also hope either Perez improves or rb#2 gets a better driver to close gap to Max so there is at least some tension there...
There was a point in the race when it seemed that yuki would finish either just behind ricciardo or even ahead of him considering he was on new hards. Yes Ricciardo has his self confidence back but I am not ready to buy that Ricciardo is faster than tsunoda all of a sudden. Yes Ricciardo is a more complete driver than tsunoda because he has the maturity and experience which tsunoda showed that he sorely lacks. However on pure pace over a grand prix, tsunoda still seems to have the edge
Danny has run like 5 races and is 2 points behind Yuki. Yea Yuki has had a lot of bad luck this year, and it’s not necessarily an indictment on his ability, it’s just that Yuki hasn’t been able to turn his flashes of brilliance into consistent results. He’s a talented driver, but there’s something he’s still missing that’s holding him back and I think Danny is going to beat him in points because of it.
