After Max Verstappen had initially gained the upper hand at the start, Mercedes's Lewis Hamilton fought back and executed a two-stop strategy to perfection towards the race win. Verstappen had to be content with second as Bottas finished a bleak third.
Perfect! Thank you.dans79 wrote: ↑10 May 2021, 02:26This is what you are looking for.

Max is just slower.Aesop wrote: ↑09 May 2021, 23:40Yes we are. If you can follow the leading car that close for so long and still have more life in your tyres...
Mercedes and Hamilton fooled us all, maybe in Bahrain they still suffered from balance issues but now that they sorted that out the season is over. Sorry for Lewis cause he's obviously a great driver but its never been a level playing field past years and it isnt now. Sky can hype what they want but we wont get to see the dogfight, cause it isnt neccessary for Lewis. So let's enjoy Max' elbows when he's able to use them and root for 22.
But wait.. So Max was controlling the race, you say? So the RedBull gas had stronger race pace after all!Midi wrote: ↑09 May 2021, 23:27
If anything the second stint showed how mature Max drove because he let Lewis close up to around 1,5s and then up his pace just enough that lewis could not overtake on the straight with similar aged tires.
Merc going for the successful opposite strategy in my opinion shows they didn’t think Lewis would have passed on equal strategies.
Why? Why does the world need them on the same team? What sort of problem needs to answered by doing this? Very curious.Scorpaguy wrote: ↑09 May 2021, 23:33Today's race again showed what we all know...
1. Merc has the better car
2. Merc makes the better strategy calls
3. Bot continues to prove he is NO WHERE near Ham or Max
4. Checo will do good just to outpace Bot
What this world needs is for Ham and Max to be on the same Team and for Bot and Checo to be on the same team...that would make for loads of great racing.
I wish the Mercedes was faster. I want it to dominate again. Today i thought it would be a good step on the way, but I was disappointed. I couldnt really tell if it was truly faster. Max was too close. He was in front in fact and we couldn't overtake him after many attempts. Valterri was also too far back, so far there wasnt even a one-two finish. You know how long its been before Mercedes had a one-two?! Man i miss those days! I was glad that the strategy and the ability of HAM to make it work brought the win though. Max could have won if he didn't burn out his tyres in the opening laps.NathanOlder wrote: ↑10 May 2021, 00:03The race.

Lol. I think Bottas may go to redbull in 2022. He seems fed-up with Mercedes.MKlaus wrote: ↑10 May 2021, 01:47please stop using bottas as a reference. he is as sloppy as mazepin. he doesn't even show desire to fight on track and is content for a walk in the park. lewis repeated what he did in hungary 2019, which clearly suggest w12 is as fast as it's predecessors. no need to make it a point as if one driver is driving beyond what a car can do. same applies to red bull. both teams have below par second drivers. i always maintained that mercedes is the better car and winter testing was as misleading as it it can get due to mercedes not having found the sweet spot of set up. now thry and w12 shows it's every bit reincarnation of w11.dans79 wrote: ↑10 May 2021, 00:09If it is, it only seems to be in that hands of Lewis. Bottas couldn't get past charles, and then even after he jumped him during the pit stops and had clear air, he didn't make much headway into Max.NathanOlder wrote: ↑10 May 2021, 00:03

If memory serves he prefers and oversteer/twitchy car. I have a vague recollections of him complaining about understeer last year, and understeer is what Lewis prefers.
That’s the thing though, he wouldn’t have had to if the W12 wasn’t able to stay tucked in his gearbox and keep the tires in better shape despite being in dirty air.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑10 May 2021, 03:53Max could have won if he didn't burn out his tyres in the opening laps.

The Redbull us equally as quick as Merc. Compare the second drivers and we get an idea of the true pace.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑10 May 2021, 03:53I wish the Mercedes was faster.

Max lost it again. Leclerc would have won the race in the same car.
You should not have read it then. Be more careful next time.
