That comment made me ROFL. If that were to be true, they should also know how to dominate like in 90s.ringo wrote: ↑28 Aug 2021, 23:28No he wont have a chance if it stays wet. Remember that a race is more than just 1 hot lap. Willaims know how to heat tyres from 2010. Russel's car over a stint will have its tres at the same temperature as everyone else's and that little trick will vanish. He cannot win nor. podium with this car.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑28 Aug 2021, 20:54If it's wet and stays wet then Russell has a chance of not only a podium but also the win. If it starts to dry even a little bit, he'll get eaten alive. His best hope is for the race to be wet enough that a dry line never forms and the teams have to run wets and then inters. He could very easily get an undercut if he's in touch at the pitstops.
Hamilton on the other hand.. i observe he has is driving very maturely. He has risked nothing during the wet qualy and was consistently doing the right pace at the right time throughout the whole session. He has really got the best from the car, while being careful.
He will win tomorrow if it's wet with his approach. Chances are because of his experience, his long run wet weather pace will be better managed over the race and he will just waltz pass Max.
Max and Perez are very strong as well though. The car is looking very good if not the best her in all conditions. He can win easily if he makes no errors and manages his tyres well.
If it stays wet without a dry line, Russell definitely has a chance. Without the necessary downforce, Mercedes would struggle to keep the car on track.
