McLaren, Lotus, Sauber, and even Zalonso are looking like the heavy hitters here, while Red Bull Racing is just sitting in the background.

What the hell are you even doing? 🤔

NASCAR Season Stats!!! 😱

Can we just collectively agree that this race was easily the most mind-numbing thing we've seen all season so far??? 🙂

I mean, I can definitely see where you're coming from, but look—if a total wildcard like Chavez could somehow snag a win once before basically disappearing into the midfield for the rest of the season (he was pretty much stuck behind Stake F1 Team most of the time), then why couldn't a Stake F1 Team driver do the same? And I’m talking about a driver who is way more consistent both as a team and individually than Chavez ever was.
Everything just fell perfectly into place for Pastor Maldonado in that one race and he walked away with the trophy.
For Stake F1 Team, they really just need everything to line up about 90% to 92% of the time during qualifying and the race itself, and boom, they're there. Honestly, I even think a podium or a win isn't out of the question.
Like I was saying during the German Grand Prix, in that final third of the race, the Stake F1 Team car—and especially Koby—was hands down the fastest thing on the track.
If any team deserves a victory after everything they've been through, it's absolutely Stake F1 Team. It's gotta be Koby and/or/ Chico!!! 🙏

Finally, freaking about time Sauber pulls it off!!! 🙂

Sauber!!! 🙏 👍 🙏
Everything else was just pure garbage. 🙂
I’ve been looking at the lap comparisons, specifically from around lap 33, 38, and especially from lap 40 onwards, where Kamui Kobayashi was absolutely shredding everyone—Sebastian Vettel, Gumbić, Fernando Alonso, even Kimi Raikkonen (probably because they were on some brand new soft compound)—while Sergio Perez was putting up a bit more of a fight.
Reading through the comments above about who looked fastest today or yesterday... man, give me a break... the second my "guys" got a little breathing room, they were leaving everyone in the dust.
Check the numbers:
Button/Kobayashi ... 44 laps ... -29.378, end -14.976
Vettel/Kobayashi ... 44 laps ... -27.945, end -18.193
Alonso/Kobayashi ... 44 laps ... -30.191, end -21.925
Raikonen/Kobayashi ... 44 laps ... -14.102, end -5.516
It was a total beatdown, period.
They were slicing through everyone in front of them, while nobody could touch them.
If they had just finished two or three spots higher on the grid—and damn that NO red flag, since those two jokers in the red cars were already qualified anyway—I can confidently state that this was AT LEAST A PODIUM for Suber!!! 🤔
Which is exactly what everyone over at Sauber is saying:

Forget rooting for the "big" teams; you've gotta back the underdogs. 😬

Why didn't we see a red flag during Q2 ??? 😠
It's because those two frauds driving the red cars were out in front. 🙂

Finally, Sauber gets it together!!! 🙂

Does anyone have those lap times handy??? 🤷
I really want to bookmark this so I don't lose it again.
Here’s what I’m looking at:

Lewis Hamilton hits the pits on lap 38, Kobe Bryant hits the pits on lap 38. Both are running softs. The track is wide open, except Kobe was already sitting right on the gearbox of that absolute snail Gumby just a couple of laps before the end, which slowed him down.
Their split times through the finish. 🙂

Found it:

And yeah, Kobe absolutely smoked him. 🤣 😂 🤣
Too bad he wrecked four of his own mechanics in the process first. 😢
Looking further down the data, Kobe actually would've been faster than Schumacher if he hadn't pulled that stupid move, especially since he had the edge even 38 laps ago. 🤦

Screw them red flag. 👎

Everybody get out here! 🙂

So, what actually went down at the end?

Perez is actually out here eyeing a win for Sauber!!!??? 😲

Koby is absolutely killing it!!! 🙏 And so is Perez. First one to break under the 1.47 mark. 🙏

It looks like Osim's Lotus is being just as sensitive with those tires as the Sauber is, but honestly, maybe that’s just because of how the weather turned out during this race, and we'll see if things change at the next ones?

stormybadger8 said:Both of them are going for a one-stop strategy.😳
It really just came down to the strategy difference. I don't feel like digging through all the data right now, but since Kamui Kobayashi pitted on lap 24, it’s pretty obvious he was running the counter-strategy—going with the red tires first before switching over to the yellows.
It’s probably just how the whole thing is rigged, though I still find it weird as hell that it’s actually working this way.🤷

The big question here is whether Pérez was actually the only one running that specific strategy—doing about 40 laps on the hards before switching to reds at the very end.🤷

Looks like that strategy actually played out perfectly after all.

Našao:
The Sauber F1 Team is absolutely riding high after bagging their second podium of the year. Honestly, considering the fact that Sergio Pérez started 15th, seeing him pull off a third-place finish at the Canadian Grand Prix today was completely insane. Honestly, the whole thing was just completely unexpected.The Young Mexican pulled off a masterclass on a one-stop strategy. He kicked things off on the softs and then made the jump to the super softs at lap 41 of the 70-lap grind. Once he was on those tires, he was absolutely flying, picking them off one by one like they were standing still. His teammate, Kamui Kobayashi, actually had a bit of an edge coming out of qualifying where he grabbed 11th, but he just couldn't find any breathing room and got swallowed up in the mid-pack traffic. The crew ended up scrapping the original two-stop plan and switched him to a single stop, forcing Kamui to nurse a set of softs for a massive 46 laps. It paid off enough for him to cross the line in ninth, bagging two crucial points for the squad. Because of that, the Sauber F1 Team now has 58 points to its tally and improved to sixth in the F1 World Constructors' Championship.
👍

I didn't catch any of it. 😢 It was our game. 🙂
How many times did Kamui Kobayashi hit the pits compared to Sergio Pérez? What was the tire strategy?
And what about their absolute trash pit stops?

Guidelines?
About what?
Something that would be useful regardless of the situation!
😂

Relax, kid, you’re gonna give yourself an ulcer before you even hit thirty.
They’re all cut from the same cloth.
None of those guys have ever actually done a damn thing for America.
It’s always just about lining their own pockets and looking out for their inner circle.
