Yea unbeatable… and thank god Charles had an issue and was asked to slow down. It’s a decent result and with the old suspensionOverheatedTurbo wrote: ↑03 Aug 2025, 16:49Solid results heading into the summer break. Those Mclarens though…
You bring a good point… this is not good news regarding Kimi’s qualy pace!AR3-GP wrote: ↑04 Aug 2025, 22:59Kimi still didn't make Q3 and his best lap of the race is miles behind George (he didn't always have traffic).Matt2725 wrote: ↑04 Aug 2025, 22:45It's not a high speed track, but there are a lot of medium speed corners where you're still braking as you're turning in. That was the point.
In Montreal, it's more of a stop, point and go vs Hungary that is flowing corners where speed is carried into the corner and bled off on entry rather than before. Apart from the chicane, it's pretty much all that from T2 to T12, which more of the same in T13 and T14 onto the main straight.
Zandvoort will be more of the same.
His driving style is the same as #44 according to what he said earlier in the season. So for him there are more factors in play than the suspension. These cars don't like the late hard braking style that he developed in junior categories. I don't think it will be an issue next year.MB_Racer wrote: ↑09 Aug 2025, 00:09You bring a good point… this is not good news regarding Kimi’s qualy pace!AR3-GP wrote: ↑04 Aug 2025, 22:59Kimi still didn't make Q3 and his best lap of the race is miles behind George (he didn't always have traffic).Matt2725 wrote: ↑04 Aug 2025, 22:45It's not a high speed track, but there are a lot of medium speed corners where you're still braking as you're turning in.

He did a good race pace but Kimi must qualify in front when GR is P4 !
Youngest Pole Sitter: Antonelli became the youngest driver to claim pole position in any F1 format at the 2025 Miami Grand Prix sprint race. He broke Sebastian Vettel's previous record.

Youngest Fastest Lap Setter: He also set the fastest lap at the Japanese Grand Prix, becoming the youngest driver to achieve this feat in F1.
Youngest Points Scorer: Antonelli is the second-youngest driver to score points in Formula 1.
Youngest Driver to lead a GP and set fastest lap in the same race. The Japanese GP saw Antonelli break two records in one race.
Top 6 Finish in First Three Races: Antonelli joined Jackie Stewart and Lewis Hamilton in achieving a top-six finish in each of his first three races.
Plus Kimi likes to use a lot more kerbs than a lot of the competition, since these cars are ran very stiff, the Mercedes is probably getting shaken a lot in the inner workings that it confuses the car that it thinks it some type of reliability issue, but actually the way Kimi drives and how he uses the kerbs.AR3-GP wrote: ↑09 Aug 2025, 15:55His driving style is the same as #44 according to what he said earlier in the season.
