It's pretty much the standard way of righting yourself after a spin in any four-wheel motorsport. You don't really lose much rubber and it's way quicker to turn around compared to a 12-point turn since F1 cars aren't exactly known for their turning radius.
Compare his spins to Hamilton,( British GP) and Bottas, French GP).
In both those cases, they ended up pointed towards the track and with plenty of room that they wouldn't need to reverse, so they could quickly rejoin.Dazed1 wrote: ↑11 Nov 2018, 15:17Compare his spins to Hamilton,( British GP) and Bottas, French GP).
Rb seems to have found the perfect set-up for the tyres. His superiority now in tyre managment is notorious.
usually Kimi comfortably beating Bottas should be a decent indication of what the car was capable of. No idea if Vettel really would have beaten Hamilton without the technical issues, but I'd tend to say it should have been possible.zokipirlo wrote: ↑13 Nov 2018, 11:53We didn't see true potential from Ferrari here. Seb had some problems with PU, Kimi maybe also had some problems which we don't know about. They are not like Mercedes, who are crying over radio how engine is going to die and still driving fastest laps and always miraculously survives.
Didn´t now that. Did they mention it after the race or during the race?zokipirlo wrote: ↑13 Nov 2018, 11:53We didn't see true potential from Ferrari here.

I think result would be similar like in Mexico if everything would be fine with PU. Ferrari and Mercedes don't use strongest engine modes in races anymore so Red Bull come much closer.
